That is really hard to ignore - almost as hard as one spouse being Democrat and one being Republican. But I have seen too many marriages end in divorce over religious beliefs. You have Good fighting Evil and Good always prevails.
Ask God for guidance and listen to him. Do what he says. But whatever you do, remember your purpose is not to "rescue" your husband. You cannot force your beliefs on him. As much as you want to spend your eternity with him, he has to come to believe it on his own terms or else he is just lying. Continue practicing your faith and if he comes around then wonderful. But don't let his non-belief take over your belief and cause you to backslide.
Life comes and goes in a split second. Never think you have the rest of your life to make it right with God - because the right moment is now. Later might be too late.

"Kill yourself and find out." Nah, just kidding. I would attempt to give him proof of spiritual things. There is a book called "The Case for a Creator" by Lee Strobel. I'd recommend you buy it, because it has a lot of information that suggests the existence of a divine authority. Even more, it details experiments that offer evidence that the human consciousness does not only reside in the brain, but is something much more: a soul.
You don't even have to buy the book. You can read very important excerpts online, at the website, caseforacreator.com. They have parts of the book that help the reader to understand the evidence that suggests that there is something more, much more, that lies beyond this world.
Most importantly, pray for your husband. On the surface, his view seems logical, but he is simply blind; he does not know what deep precipice he's headed for. Hope that Jesus will be able to save him.

Say whatever you want to him. It may very well be that there isn't a heaven or a hell. If you can convince him that there is with a rational argument then... good for you. Otherwise, if you want him to believe in heaven and hell simply because you believe in them, I doubt he will.

Most people don't have to believe in it to go to hell, but they do have to believe to go to heaven, what if you are right and he is wrong ask him if it is worth the risk. Then read Revelation 20:11-15 judgement of thte unsaved, and Revelation 21:8. people don't want to believe in God because if they do there might be some rules to follow, they thing if there are no rules there is no judgement, what a rude awakening alot of people will have if they are wrong.

Well, if you knew his belief system before you were married then there is nothing you should say to him. If you didn't know his belief system...then you probably got married way too fast. If you changed your beliefs since the marriage that changes the deal. He also has the right and free will to believe as he wishes. However, I would think that the best course of action would be to practice unconditional love. Do you love him? or his beliefs?

As a christian i generally see Hell as the eternal punishment for those who do not believe in Jesus Christ as their savior, as well as for the Devil and his demons. Exceptions are sometimes made for those who have failed to accept Jesus but have extenuating cirumstances (youth, not having heard the Gospel, mental illness, etc.). Most Christians believe that damnation occurs immediately upon death (particular judgment), others that it occurs after Judgment Day.
Does your husband think the world would just go on and on like that?.where do the people who have died go?. Tell him to think about it .You can reply his answers back to me if you want to?.Good luck.

You don't try to convince him of either....that's not your job. Your job is to tell him the "Good News". Jesus Christ, who is God, descended from heaven, lived as a man and then died and rose again on the third day. He defeated death; death could not hold him. He was perfect! To everyone who believes in him he gives eternal life; they will never perish.
It's also not your job to try to convince him of any truth-you don't have to convince him the Bible is true. You can only tell him the Gospel. After that it is up to him to decide. Your job is done.

Cast not your pearls before swine. Lest they become trampled under foot. Wide is the path that leads to destruction and many there are that go there into. Narrow is the gate that leads to life and few there are that find it. For what part does the believer have with the unbeliever. Be not unequally yoked. Why did you marry someone who is nothing like you and has no values.

well,, if you really believe in hell and heaven, then you should already know what to say to him.
if you can't think of anything to say, and he is able to defeat all of your arguments with points that actually make sense to you, then maybe you should start considering the possibility that he's right and stop defending your side of the argument simply because it's what you're used to.
