BUT if the Christians are right then all atheists will go to Hell. And i hear that's not pleasant. They'll probably be frying in Hell saying "damn i shouldve been a Christian!" And, if the Christians are wrong, then that's it they're just dead. And all the time spent on praying and money wont matter because they are dead. And it wont be like they can look back and say "damn i should've been an atheist!"

without the slightest hesitation:
yes.
if christianity as most see it, is correct, and I am wrong, I would happily walk myself down to hell.
because being near such a God would be worse punishment than anything the christian hell could dish out.
I would not want to be anywhere near a God that'd have such a thing as an Eternal hell. the way I see it such a thing would be a *MASSIVE* betrayal by God.
if the christians are right then Hell is where I would want to be, because it'd be better than being in such a heaven.
edit: yes, I have said this before, and I'll say it again. and almost every time I say it, I'm told something to the effect of "no, you don't understand what your saying... its so much worse than you think" or whatever... no. I understand what the christian hell is. and as far as I'm concerned that would be infinitely better than being near a God that would have such a place as part of his great plan.

lol, quite the contrary. I have faith and trust in My God, and I do not fear the christian god or devil even the slightest.
sure you don't want to go golfing in the rain with me? :-P

What if Norse mythology is right and the only way into Valhalla is to be slain gloriously in battle? Won't those christians feel foolish then.
Especially given that the word 'Hell' was taken by the Nordish queen of the underworld, 'Hel', which was in turn borrowed from the old Germanic word 'hel' which means 'to cover'.

Yes, I am willing to bet my life on it. Even if there is a god, I am sure that Christianity is false.

What If the Muslims are right.... What if the Jews are right.....
What if a star in our galactic neighborhood goes supernova and the shockwave destroys the earth? Can I do anything about it? NO. Does the issue of whether I "believe" or not matter? NO. It does not matter what I "believe"; it only matters what I KNOW.
P.S., I am a Buddhist

There is always that possibility. But it is my opinion that Wicca is the right path for me and I spent 6 years in the U.S. Military to defend everyone's right to make that choice for themselves. Other people see Christianity as the right path for them and I am glad that it makes them happy and feel complete but Christianity doesn't do that for me.

What if we athiests are right and the Christians have wasted time, money and emotions on the church and "god"? What about that. If that is the case then we athiests have spent our lives enjoying life and you guys spend it praying.

In the history of humanity there have been over 3,000 religions. Christianity being right (if any religion is to be right) is a chance of 1 in 3,000. Mathematically that is 3.33x10^-4, so basically it is impossible for Christianity to be right.
Also, there could be that god will only take those that are smart and do not follow religion blindly (meaning atheists, agnostics, deists, pantheists, etc.), so you'd be going to hell. Are you willing to take that chance? Going to hell for being sheep?

Of course I'm willing to bet my life on it. Look at Christainity today, any religion gets stuck in preaching false hypocritical doctrine I follow these rules, be like Abraham and follow your own path, love your nieghbour as yourself, believe in the one true God. Jesus is not God, or part of some magical god Trinity

Obviously.
Or I could throw all my intelligence in the bin, and become a robot living a lie - just in case.
What if the Christians are wrong, and it's the - oh I don't know pick any religion - who are right? Couldn't you be heading for hell as well? Why not join them all to spread bet?
