Do you think non believers go to hell, even if they live honest good lives?

No. That belief is unethical and irrational. Don't fall for it....

Hell is a last resort, and no one wants to go even to the concept of an eternity in such a horrible place as that. I can give you the biblical answer to your question but I am sure that at least 20 people will do that before I finish this brief expression. So I will do my very best to show you the other side. If you believe in the concept of an eternal being that created all that we see, and that being, is also all things pure and all things that are of love, then what I have to say might help. Look at it like this: you know we all as human beings do things that are morally not right. We lie we cheat we steal etc etc etc. Now that would make us dirty in those things, which a pure being is not. How can anything pure except something dirty. For example a glass of pure water is no longer pure if anything gets in to corrupt it. Likewise us to God, and because we are dirty from sin we have to find a way to be pure. Now here comes in Jesus. We are washed clean of our sin and and made new so that we are as pure as Jesus who died for us, and for that purpose, so that man can be reconciled to God. Being a good person is a great thing and I pray that in this small piece of truth that I have given you, you would find a beginning of a journey back to wholeness through Christ Jesus, the redeemer of man to all things pure all things love and all things righteous.

Afraid so, Revelation 21:8 But the fearful, and unbelieving, and whoremongers, and sorceres, and idolaters, and all liars shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death. Also Revelaton 20: 11-15: And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away: and there was found no place for them. And I saw the dead, small and great stand before God; and the book was opened, which is the book of life; and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, accoridng to their works. And the sea gave up its dead which were in it and they were judged every man according totheir works. And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire. Hope this answers your question . There is only one way to get your name written in the book of life and that is to accept Jesus as your personal Saviour.

I think this might already be hell but
That is a matter that is still the subject of debate. Some interpret the Bible to mean that Hades is a temporary place, that the lost (non-believers in Jesus) go to immediately after dying. When the Earth is destroyed by God after His second coming, Hades will be destroyed along with it. On the Judgment Day, the lost will then be thrown into the "lake of fire" which is Hell. It is there they will spend all of eternity. It is clear from the scriptures that in many instances where these words are used, both Hades and Hell are places of torment and suffering. What I am personally not clear about (yet) is the physical location of Hades and Hell.

I do not believe anyone is going to hell because it is a fictitious place with absolutely no merit whatsoever. No, you will not be going to hell no matter what type of life you live.

if you a christian and if you believe in what the bible says,salvation is not by good works but it's by faith through grace.it's like a gift.it's yours for the taking if you accept it but even if it was handed to you but you refuse it,it won't be yours.honest good lives are a by-product of the changes Christ makes in you but good deeds alone will not get you anywhere.
hope this helps.

Well, what does the Bible say about that?
It says that the best you can do (honest good lives) is like a filthy rag. So-what do you think?

Good works won't get it.
Galatians 2:16
Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the law: for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified.

Hell for one person isn't the same for another. You might hate the fire but i hate the cold. Hell only exists if you believe in it and that doesn't just go for hell that goes for pretty much anything.
