Can anyone LOGICALLY expalin to me what happens to an atheists soul upon his/her death?

Answer 1

Logically the atheist is separated from God whom he rejected. God gives you free will. Unfortunately for the atheist, the absence of God in the outer darkness means the presence of like minded God haters and that isn't very pleasant, especially for an eternity.
This near death experience from Howard Storm shows exactly this case. (warning: the logic is graphic)

Jesus, the only one who really knew what He was talking about, talks of this place as one of outer darkness and the weeping and gnashing of teeth.

Answer 2

You are asking for a matter of religious faith, the existence of a "soul", to be addressed logically. Logic requires facts, faith is acceptance without them, therefore your question cannot be validly answered. If you accept the existence of a soul, then the soul of an atheist would suffer whatever fate your religion decrees, if you do not then the question is moot.

Answer 3

if it turns out that we're all right....

1. Christians' souls would rest until their Savior comes back and decides whether they go to heaven or hell

2. a Hindu, Sikhs, and Buddhists's soul would be continuously reincarnated until they're pure enough to become one with the over soul which is G-d

3. atheists would become nothing, returning to the nothingness from which they were spawn.

So, the answer is either "I don't know, I'll just have to wait until i can ask G-d" or "nothing. They are dead, no more, perhaps living in people's hearts until those who remembered them are dead"

Answer 4

Logic has nothing to do with it. We have plenty of evidence that the body exists and will decompose on death, we have no evidence (though plenty of wishful thinking) that a soul seperate from a body exists.

Answer 5

The Right to Enter Paradise

Death is inevitable. The thief on the cross knew when his would occur, but we can not predict our own. After his death, the crucified criminal went to live in paradise with Jesus. Some of us will also live eternally in God's presence. But others will experience everlasting torment, forever separated from Him.
If we receive Jesus as our Savior, our penalty for sin is paid. We are adopted into God's family, and Heaven is our eternal home. If we reject Jesus, we remain alienated from the Lord and under condemnation for our sin. We are destined to experience eternal judgment. God won't accept any of man's excuses because there is no acceptable defense for unbelief. (Acts 4:12)
Become part of God's family today. Acknowledge your sinfulness, and express your faith in these words:
"God, I have sinned against You. (Romans 3:23) I've followed my own way and refused to give You the right to rule in my life. (Romans 3:10-12) I recognize I am separated from You and cannot rescue myself. I do believe that Jesus Christ is Your Son. I accept the truth of the Scriptures? that His death on the cross paid my sin-debt in full. (1 Corinthians 15:3-4) And I ask You to forgive me of my sins. (1 John 1:9) By faith, I receive You, Lord Jesus, as my personal Savior from this moment on."
If you just spoke those words to God, then, like the thief on the cross, you have received salvation? a gift of God's grace. The heavenly Father welcomes every person who comes to Him through His Son, regardless of background, age, or current situation. Through Jesus, the right to enter paradise is yours!

Answer 6

Yes. There is no soul. Therefore, nothing happens. Can you LOGICALLY deduce an existence of a soul?

Answer 7

You're asking people to apply logic to a phenomenon that is supernatural and by definition therefore outwith the boundaries of logic?

Answer 8

Atheists dont believe in souls.

Answer 9

The same thing that happens to everyone when we die. We all get a nice 6 foot by 2 foot condo to live in with our own little plot of land and take a nice nap. AKA you die and get buried in a coffin. End of story.

Answer 10

We don't have a soul in the Biblical sense that leaves our bodies when we die. Our souls are our essence, our minds, our intellects, what makes us unique. When we die (as well as those that believe in a God or gods) our brains die and therefor our souls die along with our brains.
