Paladin,
I am curious...
Do you have Bible documentation of that theory?
With thanks!

Christian...
I once was a "what if" person myself and got grouded in the truth. I rebelled onpenly and questioned everything. I humbled myself and got on my knees and in a quite room, alone, asked Jesus "Please, I don't understand all of this please come into my heart and help me to know the truth about you." And that majestic, powerful and Holy creation actually honored that pithetic plee...

I had a "burning knowing" once, but a shot of penicillin cleared it right up...
Everybody knows hell exists and it's easy to find... just take a left at Santa's house, a sharp right at the Tooth Fairy's place and look for the road sign once you pass the leprechaun village.

Exactly right, but ya know, there are those who hate even the idea of God so much that when He comes and prooves He exist, People will shake their fist at God screaming at Him saying "HOW DARE YOU PROOVE YOU EXIST!!!!! HOW DARE YOU!!"
These peoples minds are "seared" against even the possibility of God. You want to know the proof? Look at how many "thumbs downs" I will get for what I am posting. just prooves me right and them wrong.
They do have doubts, proof? the fact that they are here in this forum anyway, if not, they would not be even wasting their time here., ohh I suppose they will make lame excuses about being here stating something about curious, or wanting to know why or just here to "bash Christians" out of a need to create conflict, it's all a bunch of Bull. Every one knows instinctly that God exist, wether they choose to believe it or not.

Yes. This is true. There are several reasons why there are no atheists burning in hell is because there is no hell fire burning.
Those who die do not go anywhere immediately after death. Check this out for yourself...

Another reason atheists who have permanently chosen to reject the love of God are not burning in hell right now is because punishment for everyone that is lost does not occur until after the judgment.
Hebrews 9:27 And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:
2 Peter 2:9 The Lord knoweth how to deliver the godly out of temptations, and to reserve the unjust unto the day of judgment to be punished:
Another reason why atheists in general are not in hell is because God loves them and understands that many of them have a misconception about Him. Therefore, He is doing everything possible to try and enlighten them before their characters become fixed by their own choices.
Many atheists will allow their hearts and minds to be changed by the love of God as it is revealed to them by genuine, converted Christians. Lies about an eternally burning hell, fake Christians, misinterpretations of the Bible and hard to understand circumstances may have contributed to this unfortunate situation.
The door is not yet closed to them or many others for that matter. A general close of probation for all of humanity is yet future but nearing every day.
Revelation 22:11 He that is unjust, let him be unjust still: and he which is filthy, let him be filthy still: and he that is righteous, let him be righteous still: and he that is holy, let him be holy still.
A final reason, I would like to suggest is the simple fact that many atheists have simply never been exposed to the beauty of a Christlike spirit and an understanding of what heaven is like. Many unstudied Christians and professed Christians don't know either.
Since the beauty and attractiveness of these things has not been presented to them clearly, God is still working to try and reach them with this information that they may be able to make informed choices; good or bad.
Here is a description of what heaven will be like to share with an atheist the next time you want to present something attractive to them instead of something to only anger them...

does it make you feel good to play God? how about if you were judged just as harshly no matter what you believe in? You say Jesus saved you from hell, but what if its a lie and what if you hacked God off?

That would mean that no atheist ever died...HELL being the common grave of mankind, where we all are figuratively said to go when we die.

Interesting point: if there is no hell, there's NOTHING in hell, and therefore there are no athiests. So as long as either Christianity is true or Atheism is true, your statement is pretty much necessarily true.
Unfortunately, those aren't the only two possibilities.

The pleasure you display at the idea that other humans are suffering eternal torture speaks extremely poorly about Christianity.
As an atheist, I am overjoyed that there is no such thing as eternal torture for you or anyone else.
.
ADDITIONAL COMMENT: Jokes about torture are in bad taste at best and are more likely sadistic. I'm not certain which your joke is, but it is certainly one of them.

Not yet because we have not had judgement day. God will separate the sheep from the goats, and there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

Now, now. Careful. God doesn't let smug people into heaven.
