What would be worse? To be a Christian and find out there is no afterlife, or to be an atheist and find out there is one?

Well, this is just my opinion, but . . . I haven't wasted anytime in my life by praising and worshiping the Lord. I have developed a supportive relationship with my church family. I enjoy donating my time to help the church youth. I enjoy beating my pastor at basketball. I love our praise and worship band and can't wait to sing with them at worship. I love life and enjoy it to it's fullest. I have lost nothing IF there isn't an afterlife (and I know there is). On the other hand, a non-believer has lost his/her soul when they find out the Lord and eternal life are real.

Probably Christian w/afterlife 'cause many Christians go around passing off their opinions as if they were the word of God...at least the atheist kinda kept his mouth shut.
I Think God would understand.
I'm an agnostic though.

To be an atheist and find out there is a judgement and afterlife.
A Christian should be enjoying living the "right life" or they are doing it for the wrong reasons anyway.

The atheist would be the worse of the two.
Either way, eternity is a long long time, and thats like forever.
I'll stick with the choice I made to have Christ as my Lord and Saviour!

Since I am a Christian and I KNOW there is an afterlife, your "question" has no answer.

Christian and find out there isn't, because if there is an afterlife i can't see it being bad.

For sure the Christian one. Can you imagine being an Atheist and coming for the Great God of all Eternity, the Judge of all the Earth, and not have believed in him nor ever got acquainted with his ways, or not even know the sweet name of His Son, never have praised Him or thanked Him for life or anything. mercy Mercy me, Thank You Great Lord God of |heaven that you do exist in all of your spledor and glory, We adore you. hallelujah!

I do understand the question. I will always believe in life after death, because the Bible clearly states that. It will either be in heaven or it will be in hell. I am a Christian, so it will be worse for the athiest. because the bible also says that only the fool in their heart says there is no God.
God Bless.

It would be worse to find there is one. If the Christian is wron, they have wasted our time. If the Athiest is wrong, the suffering is horrible.
