Also, since I am an Atheist, my soul will burn in the lake of fire. Did God choose this for me, so that my soul would burn in the lake of fire, and if so, will it make a smell pleasing to the lord your God when my soul does burn?
Does God enjoy the aroma of burning souls, and is that why he created so many Atheists and Agnostics and other people who don't believe that Jesus is their savior but believe in a different version of God?
Which smell is more pleasing to the Lord your God - an Atheists, an Agnostics, a Muslim's, a Hindus?
How about those who worshipped Zeus and Jupiter, will their soul burning make a scent as pleasing to the Lord your God as mine?

Actually Jim, I've heard it said that god is now into Aroma Therapy and "scent layering." I suspect he enjoys both you and I smoldering away together! Keep fightin' the good fight! Best regards.

First, not chosing God is freewill. Anyone can change. You can't make someone fall in love with you and God can not make you believe in Him. It's through faith, we find God and love him.
Second, Jesus became the final sacrifice, so we don't do sacrifices anymore.
Lastly, Stop being Cynical. Just by you questioning my faith is evidence that you are searching for something more to your life. If you don't believe, live that life and be happy. I just sure hope you are right.
Peace!

Allah Knows everything that will happen. The first thing that He created was the "pen" and He ordered the pen to write. The pen wrote until it had written everything that would happen. And then Allah began to create the universe. All of this was already known to Him before He created it. He does have absolute and total control at all times. There is nothing that happens except that He is in control of if.
There is a mistake in the question: "Free Will." Allah alone, has Free Will, He Wills whatever He likes and it will always happen as He wills. We have something called, "Free choice." The difference is that what Allah "Wills" always happens and what we choose may or may not happen. We are not being judged on the outcome of things, we are being judged on our choices. This means that at the core of everything will always be our intentions. Whatever we intended, is what we will have the reward for. Each person will be judged according to what Allah gave them to work with, how they used it and what they intended to do with it.
As regards the actual "Judgment Day" - Allah tells us that everything we are doing is being recorded and not a single tiny thing escapes from this record. Even an atom's weight of good will be seen on the Day of Judgment and even a single atom's weight of evil will be seen too.
The one who will bring the evidences against us will be ourselves. Our ears, tongue, eyes and all of our bodies will begin to testify against us in front of Allah on the Day of Judgment. None will be oppressed on that Day, none will be falsely accused.
He could have put everyone in their respective places from the very beginning, but the people would complain as to why they were thrown in Hell without being given a chance. This life is exactly that; a chance to prove to ourselves who we really are and what we would really do if we indeed had a free choice.
Allah Knows everything that will happen, but we don't. That is why the test is fair.

It is of your own choosing that you are the way you are.
God doesn't have to smell the burning stench of those who go to hell only those in hell get that pleasure.
Atheists follow the man made laws of nature and science and can't comprehend God because he defies those laws.

I understand where this question comes from. If God created all of the elements and knew all of the good things we would create from them using our free will then he would know that in creating us some of us would become atheists using our free will. If he knew this and created us anyway didn't he make us atheists. We should not be punished because of that.
It's a good thing gods don't exist.

If you are a true atheist, then you don't believe in any of that. If you believe in that than you are still searching, or agnostic. Also depends on if you believe in a Trinity and Eternal damnation? Wow you are brave for posting this! lol

God created you to serve Him, but He left it up to you to decide.
"And He died for all, that those who live should no longer live for themselves but for Him who died for them and was raised again" - 2 Corinthians 5:15.
It does'nt please God for someone to burn in Hell, but it sadens Him.
God is real brother. If you read the 1st 3 chapters in the book of John God will reveal Himself to you. I promise. You have nothing to lose.

Free will. You have the choice to accept Christ, or reject Him. You also have the free will to mock Him if you so desire. I don't believe any soul roasting in hell pleases God.
