Congrats for thinking for yourself.
You were probably a speck on one of your mother's ovaries. I heard that a woman is born with all the eggs she will have during her lifetime. I don't think that's true of men, though. In any case, you didn't really exist.
No god created any Earth. Gravity pulled material together to form the Earth.
If you kill yourself, you will not go to Heaven, no matter how much you plead. Heaven doesn't exist.
Sin is such an outdated concept. Instead, think for yourself and work out for yourself how you fit into society. Hell doesn't exist.
And we don't know if anything lasts forever. We haven't lived that long. Perhaps the universe or whatever the universe formed in lasts forever. Maybe it doesn't. Maybe time is meaningless on those scales. Who knows? We sure don't. Making up answers, like religious people like to, doesn't really add to our knowledge. Maybe science will find answers someday. Maybe it won't. But it has had a much better track record than non-science.
By the way, I came from a Christian family and I used to be a Christian. It was through asking questions like this that I came to realize that gods really don't exist. Check out Richard Dawkins' new book, "The God Delusion", for more information.

Your definitely not an atheist or you wouldn't be asking these questions.
When your mother was 6,you wasn't here yet,simple enough.
Before earth was created there was nothing,it was void.
Shooting yourself in the stomach and asking forgiveness won't work.To find forgiveness takes more than just sorry,we have to mean it.Saying it is not enough.
Yes,Hell and heaven both are for eternity.
Everything God creates last for ever.You can change the appearance but it still remains.Burn something and what do you have?Tear it up and what do you have?You nor science can't completely get rid of anything.God is eternal ,or without end, and so is everything He has ever mad. He has made everything in one way or another.Just as He made you and I ,we also are eternal.God loves you very much and I fell your parents do to.Won't you just lay all this down and let Jesus show you the light.I have been exactly were your at and I was wrong.I didn't know it at the time but I do now.Please bare in mind it would do me no good to share this with you if I didn't care to.Jesus does that to people.God Bless and my prayers are with you.

wow
1. not really your not an atheist because you have not rejected God or his standards of living. Being a christian is a choice and a way of life. It is an individual choice not genetics.
2. you did not exist at the time your mother was 6 yro.
3. Before the earth there was heaven, and before that the bible does not say.. look at proverbs 8:24 Jesus here is explaining not only when he was created but what he did before the earth was created. Pls read before and after the verse.
4. Regarding suicide, The bible states if you take a life purposely including yourself, you are what is called blood-guilty, God says blood should only be poured onto the ground. This has many benefits for everyone, regarding your question no you would not go to heaven. Not that anyone is a judge over you but that is a serious sin and trying to ask for forgiveness may in that manner may not have Gods approval. It up to him.
Unless you really know in your heart the holy spirit told you that you were going to heaven then you would know if that statement was true.
5. Again it is up to God.. Remember the point of the resurrection, there will be a resurrection of righteous and un-righteous persons. Depending if a person knows Gods laws and what he requires of them then of course a person is accountable for what he/she does with their life.
6. Your are correct the bible regarding hell means the grave. The bible state a lake of fire. this is symbolic for total destruction. God does not allow persons to suffer in that manner. The city of Jeresulum had a locaton where they burn refuse and persons (alread dead) like murders rapist etc.. they burn their bodies whom were unfit of a proper burrial. The only promise that the bible states Gods kingdom will last forever.. which means, persons can live forever on the planet earth,, and persons like the apostle paul and anointed christians will live and rule with Jesus in heaven....
hope that helps

well...that's alot of questions..but here goes....
It doesn't mean you are an athiest...it means you haven't found a faith that you personally believe in,....Keep looking, and you'll get answers. Perhaps you'd just want to believe in being a good and honest and caring person, without a name for a religion..that's ok!
When your mother was 6 years old,...depends on what you believe..according to some beliefs, you were in God's plan, that's why you were born; it was meant to be...If you believe in re-incarnation, then possibly you were some other soul, and then, in this life you became YOU!
If a person commits suicide, they are dead, so how can you beg for forgiveness? But possibly suicide might result in God giving you another chance, and then you can be forgiven
Going to Hell for an eternity just doesn't happen...According to the Bible, "hell" is the grave; where we will all go when we die. As for God letting us be tortured for ETERNITY, that also is NOT true. God's plan is for all to be saved, so at some point in time, everyone will be resurrected and given a chance to learn Gods ways, After those who refused to obey in this lifetime are shown the truth, IF they still refuse to worship and obey, they will be put to death, burned up, consumed by fire, as if they never existed. That's the punishment for disobeying, AFTER a person learns the truth. So...hell is impossible...burning for all eternity is impossible.
A loving God is fair and has a plan so that great multitudes of people will be with God.
I hope this clears up a few question. God Bless you...and keep searching for truth..it's out there,,,

If you want to be an Athiest, Ask your family for support, Ask God, and when I say that, I don't mean saying "Hey, God", I mean feeling deep down that God will carry you through all your troubles and will help you get the right path. In the Bible it says that you can become a Christian anytime and still go to Heaven, but you have to ask for forgiveness feeling deeply sorrowful for what you have done. God is outside of our time, if you can imagine that. Heaven and Hell has no end nor beginning, but we can only get a part of the image because we cannot imaging the full picture.

when ur mother was six u were in previous life fix.
before it was a beautiful planet
suicide is also a kind of death, which no one can stop if one wants to.
committing sin and asking for forgiveness is wrong, one should not commit sin at all,knowingly and unknowingly.
when u cross a road don't u see and cross?
who said hell is for eternity, if one ever goes to hell he will again be thrown back on earth to suffer more.
that's is what is happening now.
see how population is on its increase. all of us are coming from there only.otherwise we would have been in heaven for ever.

1.) If you disbelief there is a deity you are an atheist.
2.) You did not exist before you were born. Same will be after you die.
3.) Matter and/or energy has always existed.
4.) What the Bible says about suicide.
http://skepticsannotatedbible.com/says_about/suicide.html
5.) Sure something can last forever.

i guess from your question it seems to me that you really is an athiest.But the answer for you qn lemme see..... duh! i surely agree that this qn is quite odd... but i will try to answer it the best way i can....
I am a muslim now because i believe in Quran and in Allah but i too doubted why i told my friends i were a muslim when i was six or ten or even fifteen because i never had really believed in it and i never knew what all the fuss was about but when i grew up i could feel the magic of God in my life and through a list of incidents i had come to believe in him and his religion. you may ask then what the other religions are and whether they are not correct or so.I would say i am a muslim today because what my ancestors or parents had taught me was not of any other religion and i do not know well to argue that any religion is superior.I believe that every religion has its own rights and its own beliefs and i respect them.......
you may question God's existence and i may not argue but i believe in a God and i have faith in him.
i know suicide is a sin and the belief comes from my faith in my religion but if i do not belive in it what for me is wrong is decided by me .....and as you said nothing lasts forever. whether hell is forever ....i do not know .....only God knows!!!!!
But what i believe in is that God exists whether it be called by a thousand names and i believe that sinners go to hell and taking one's life is included in that......... but repenting with your heart is always heard because God forgives you!!!!
and as you said there is a lot of difference between beliefs and facts....

You are more likely an agnostic rather than an athiest. YOu don't really know rather than you've made up your mind that there is no God.
When your mother was 6 you did not exist.
Suicide does not have anything to do with whether you go to heaven or not. It is a sin like all other sins, and you need forgiveness from all your sins to get to heaven. You get that when you believe in Jesus Christ and confess Him as your Lord.
Romans 10:8 "...that is, the word of faith which we are preaching, 9 that if you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved; 10 for with the heart a person believes, resulting in righteousness, and with the mouth he confesses, resulting in salvation.
The Bible says it is for eternity! It is not a pretty picture, but here it is
10 And the devil who deceived them was thrown into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are also; and they will be tormented day and night forever and ever. 11 Then I saw a great white throne and Him who sat upon it, from whose presence earth and heaven fled away, and no place was found for them. 12 And I saw the dead, the great and the small, standing before the throne, and books were opened; and another book was opened, which is the book of life; and the dead were judged from the things which were written in the books, according to their deeds. 13 And the sea gave up the dead which were in it, and death and Hades gave up the dead which were in them; and they were judged, every one of them according to their deeds. 14 Then death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. This is the second death, the lake of fire. 15 And if anyone's name was not found written in the book of life, he was thrown into the lake of fire.

I really dont think that you are an Atheist, you are one of the many searching for answers to things that leave you bewildered.
Instead of fishing about on the web where you will get many different answers that will only confuse you more I suggest you talk to a mature solid christian, preferably a Priest or Minister, after all these are the ones who study theology, and can give you the real answers you seek. Good Luck.
