This is mostly to christians:
Say now that all the things you say are true (not that i believe it) and that a god as the bible portrays him exists and there is a heaven/hell and angels, etc. but i'm living my whole life as an aethist, what will happen to me, according to the bible, when i die?

It sounds as though you have doubts about being athiest. Do you live your life in a way that is kind to others? Do you honor the earth? Do you show respect for the environment, and all living creatures? The Bible tells us there is a place in heaven for the unsaved good people of this world. So, if you HONESTLY don't think there is a God, you could still make it into heaven strictly on the merits of your behaviour. Many people may disagree with that statement, but that's what I BELIEVE! God bless you!

Please try not to view God and real christians by what you see in the churches of today. They are an embarrassment at best.
Okay: The Bible states that being an atheist is as stupid as plowing in the ocean. Stupid as getting on a horse and running full speed down a slippery slope of rocks. Get the idea? The reason God says this is because he can help you get through your life so much easier and make you so much happier if you try to have a relationship with him. You do not need to go to Church, just talk to him in private. Be sincere. What do you have to lose? God doesn't want so much of the bullsh--t of today.
The churches practice their own traditions, and God says in the bible that he never asked or ordered them. They; are mens ideas, not God's. He just wants a relationship with you.period.
As far as what will happen to you: Well, when the Lord returns,
there will be the millinium - that is a 1000 year period of teaching.
Nobody will be doomed to die until the end of it - God is always fair and will provide ample teaching time, and then if you after knowing the real truth, with Christ present to teach you, you decide to turn from him, its goodbye forever for you. But God
does not wake up looking for someone to zap. Also, God understands why so many are atheists today: its because of the one-verse charlies who do nothing but pass the collection plate in church, or who constantly ask for money on tv - that crap will turn anybody from God. Try checking out the Bible FOR WHAT IT REALLY SAYS, AND YOU'LL BE PLEASANTLY SURPRIZED .
whatever you do, don't listen to man - he'll turn you into an atheist if your not already, with his nonsense.

The truth is within each of our hearts is a place where only God can fit. If you do not have God, then you will be without God, not only here but in the life to come.

The Parable of the Weeds
24Jesus told them another parable: "The kingdom of heaven is like a man who sowed good seed in his field. 25But while everyone was sleeping, his enemy came and sowed weeds among the wheat, and went away. 26When the wheat sprouted and formed heads, then the weeds also appeared.
27"The owner's servants came to him and said, 'Sir, didn't you sow good seed in your field? Where then did the weeds come from?'

28" 'An enemy did this,' he replied.
"The servants asked him, 'Do you want us to go and pull them up?'

29" 'No,' he answered, 'because while you are pulling the weeds, you may root up the wheat with them. 30Let both grow together until the harvest. At that time I will tell the harvesters: First collect the weeds and tie them in bundles to be burned; then gather the wheat and bring it into my barn.' "

The Parable of the Weeds Explained
36Then he left the crowd and went into the house. His disciples came to him and said, "Explain to us the parable of the weeds in the field."
37He answered, "The one who sowed the good seed is the Son of Man. 38The field is the world, and the good seed stands for the sons of the kingdom. The weeds are the sons of the evil one, 39and the enemy who sows them is the devil. The harvest is the end of the age, and the harvesters are angels.

40"As the weeds are pulled up and burned in the fire, so it will be at the end of the age. 41The Son of Man will send out his angels, and they will weed out of his kingdom everything that causes sin and all who do evil. 42They will throw them into the fiery furnace, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth. 43Then the righteous will shine like the sun in the kingdom of their Father. He who has ears, let him hear.

Nothing! You will lie in the grave just like every one else. But, you will be destroyed in the second death, which will happen at the end of earthly time just before the earth is recreated. This death is an eternal one, from which there is no resurrection, and not only will your body be destroyed but your breath of life that God has given you and also the very memory of you will be wiped out and you will be as if you never, ever existed.

Actually, the Bible is not clear on whether a person simply "sleeps" until called to judgement, or if it happens immediately.
That said, honestly, I don't know. Only GOD knows what's in your heart. If you're honestly searching for God, and you WANT to find the truth, I don't see how you would be sent to Hell. But that's just me.
The Bible says constantly that it is not our job to judge or condemn anyone, and that only God decides what happens when we die.
So I imagine that when you (or anyone else!) stand(s) before God, if He/It truly exists, then we'll know.
Only God knows what will happen to you or anyone else. If a person leads a sinful life PURPOSELY, and they've heard the message and refused it, then...perhaps they will be sent to Hell.
Otherwise, I just don't know.

1.If you lived your life Noble and True, Full of Benevolence, Kindness and all, You may take rebirth again as a human being born with necessities and pleasant to the world. ( notice how some children are born into utmost poverty and suffering ) or take rebirth as a Celestial being of might and light, to all your desires in blink will be fulfilled.

2.If you lived your life being partially benevolent, partly selfish and partly mean.... The part in which you were benevolent would bring you a pleasant rebirth, the rest will bring you to a rebirth with some trials and obstacles, as what we call being human is

3. If you were Mean, Cruel and nasty most of the time, raging with anger, violence, hatred, jealousy and strife, harming others with true intentions and all your might.... a helpless animal you may be born, being hunted, being tortured and being bound from day to night. Always on look out for predators, competition and always in serach of food and shelther. If actions and all were far worse, causing harm to others cutting DEEP into the hearts, Piercing far into their minds, the realm of Helpless Spirits you will be born, or the land of Hellish Pain full of suffering you will receive....

But don't fret, most of us are of catergory two.... and most likely will be catergory 2 again and again.

This was the philosophy of rebirth and reincarnation in the cycle of life taught by Buddhist masters and Hindu scholars. We are resposible for all our thoughts, speech and actions.

there are many who say hell is an eternal place of damnation but personally feel as though GOD would not punish anyone for all eternity in hell. to me hell means a separation from GOD and as we punish our children for misbehaving we are disciplined for our transgressions. however, GOD being the Father figure never stops loving us at the same time.

There is only one way to Heaven; to accept Jesus Christ into your heart and to know and believe that He died for you, just so you could have a life. Try to get past any events that may have led you to become an aethiest, and just focus on God and ask him to help you get past it and know that He is the only way to Heaven. Start reading a Bible and ask God to really open your eyes as you read, and come to understand the meaning of everything inside of it.

According to Judaism, you will inherit a portion of the world-to-come according to the way you've lived your life.
