Okay here's the deal, I am at the atheist end of Agnostic, I don't go to church or pray. I also don't blame God every time something goes wrong and I don't ask God for anything. Also Iam not sure he actually exists anyway. So what's the score ?

Seems to me your searching for God. Your not sure God exists.

I would suggest reading the Bible with a good Theological dictionary at hand. I do not believe one can just say God does not exists without researching. Also a really good book for you to read is Josh McDowell, The New Evidence that Demand a Verdict.

God is the supreme being of the universe. He is the creator of all things (Isaiah 44:24). He alone is God (Isaiah 45:21,22; 46:9; 47:8). There have never been any Gods before Him nor will there be any after Him (Isaiah 43:10). God is God from all eternity (Psalm 90:2). In Exodus 3:14, God revealed His name to His people. The name commonly known in English is Jehovah.

Here we go:
you've had one 'at the atheist end of Agnostic', that would be 50; then there was 'I don't go to church to pray', 15; then we had a 'don't blame God...', that's -35; and 'don't ask God for anything' would be -40; at the end you've had an 'not sure he actually exists anyway', 10. So, we have in total:
50 +
15 -
35 -
40 +
10 =
0
Have a pleasant evening, and please come again!

If you are an atheist then you have no belief in a God or in any Heaven or Hell, so why bother even asking? So the score is a big fat Zero. Zero afterlife. So Zero to worry about.

first you have to acknowledge that he is the lord and savior jesus christ. Church doesn't get you any closer to heaven but it helps with the understanding. It's not about blaming god. just know that he died for you and I. You have to know that some pastors and some so called saints will die and go to hell because they aren't living right. If you can't look at yourself in the mirror because of the way you live then get it right and ask the lord for forgiveness. The bible says lead not to your own understanding. That sums it up right there. Don't try to weigh out your options use wisdom which i know you have because you wouldn't be contemplating this. Just ask the lord to come into your heart. Talk to him the way you talk to anyone else. Trust me he will answer you.

You need to believe in God, know that Jesus died on the cross for your sins, and ask for forgiveness of your sins. Once you repent and are born again your name will get written in the Book of Life. As long as your name is in the Book of Life you will go to heaven. If you don't mind taking suggestions: I suggest you start going to church, repent of your sins, accept the Lord as you savior, and live your life to serve him. After all it is best to be safe to sorry. And I would love to see you go to heaven. I will be praying for you.

The Bible tells us that God has clearly revealed Himself in nature (Romans 1:20) and in the hearts of people (Ecclesiastes 3:11). The problem is that the human race is sinful; we all reject this knowledge of God and rebel against Him (Romans 1:21-23). Apart from God's grace, God would give us over to the sinful desires of our hearts, allowing us to discover how useless and miserable life is apart from Him. This He does for those who reject Him (Romans 1:24-32).
In reality, it is not that some people have not heard about God. Rather, the problem is that they have rejected what they have heard and what is readily seen in nature. Deuteronomy 4:29 proclaims, “But if from there you seek the LORD your God, you will find him if you look for him with all your heart and with all your soul.” This verse teaches an important principle: everyone who truly seeks after God will find Him. If a person truly desires to know God, God will make Himself known.
The problem is, “there is no one who understands, no one who seeks God” (Romans 3:11). People reject the knowledge of God that is present in nature and in their own heart, and instead decide to worship a “god” of their own creation. It is foolish to debate the fairness of God sending someone to hell who never had the opportunity to hear the Gospel of Christ. People are responsible to God for what God has already revealed to them. The Bible says that people reject this knowledge, and therefore God is just in condemning them to hell.

I thought you could only go to heaven from this place...
The score - I think you're hedging your bets nicely, say 50:50, so depends on whether 'he' (she won't like this, though) does exist or not.

Jesus said if you are not with Him you are against Him. If you choose not to follow Christ and believe than you have chosen to be on the opposite end of the spectrum...

Here are some scriptures to give you the Christian viewpoint. Anyone else who claims to be a Christian who gives you a different answer is in error.

John 11:25-26

25 Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live:

26 And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. Believest thou this?

John 14:6-7
6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

7 If ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also: and from henceforth ye know him, and have seen him.

Matthew 12:30
He that is not with me is against me; and he that gathereth not with me scattereth abroad. (similarly phrased in Luke 11:23).

Mere belief in God will not help you either, you must believe and follow Christ, and strive to be Christ-like...

James 2:19

Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble.

the truth is that you're just one whisker away from settling on the screamingly obvious truth that the only place you're going is the ground. Go read that wonderful old book, Life On Earth, by David Attenborough - it's so old you can probably get it remaindered. There will be no need to feck around with concepts of imaginary spirit beings once you get your head around evolution and DNA.

You cant be neutral and go to heaven. If you are trying to reason out your decision, you will be disappointed. I would suggest you go to a Non Denominational church and see what you feel, not just have in your thought life. If you ever feel the presence of God you will never forget it.
