Lack of evidence to His/Her/Its existence or to the existence of souls/the afterlife.
(Plus, if there is a Hell, I bet it's a helluva lot more interesting [... I don't know even know what to call this. It wouldn't be a pun, but...] than Heaven.)

Well, firstly, I do believe in God, but I'm not Christian. And I don't know what's going to happen to me when I die (never died and lived to tell about it). So I have to use logic and personal experience to discern what happens after death. My logic tells me there is no such thing as hell. That's all I've got to work with. But I do have some ideas of what happens when we die. All of which are plausible based on my logic and personal experience.
1. We just die and that's it. However, I take some issue with this because I've seen some strange crap in my day that can't be scientifically explained (yet) that points to something after death including the possibility of the continuance of consciousness.
2. We die, our bodies are left behind, and the essence of what was us (our energy or molecules or whatnot) goes back to all that is. Maybe into a universal or collective current of consciousness. I find this scenario very likely and I find it comforting.
3. The energy that was us becomes something else. Essentially reincarnation. This could be likely since matter cannot be created or destroyed, but can change form. Now whether my molecules and what makes me become plant fertilizer or another sentient being is anyone's guess.

My own wish? You think I don't want to go to heaven? Of course I do, everyone does. That doesn't mean it's going to happen. In the same way, I don't believe that I have a million dollars, even though I would like to.
I'm sure that nothing is going to happen because all the things that make me who I am, my experiences, personality, thoughts, et cetera, are located physically in my brain and cannot exist without a living body to support them. When I die, everything that is 'me' will cease to exist.

Oh for fu*k's sake, there is no God!
Thousands of years ago, when people looked around at the environment, creatures, the sky, they didn't have an explanation for all this and of course thought up a higher being to believe in and worship. These people, I do not blame; nature is beautiful and amazing and was astounding to them.
They passed these beliefs on to more and more people who didn't know any better.
Now, WE DO KNOW BETTER. Science and logic has completely contradicted the idea of a God and PROVEN that He does not exist! I still find it hard to believe that so many people are stupid enough to be brainwashed into believing completely illogical lies and do not even stop to use their common sense.
If you want to believe in something, believe in love, life, happiness, prosperity and achievement.. but don't fool yourself into thinking these things are in any way linked to or can be aided by some higher being.
Have faith in yourself and the people you love, not a lie someone made up thousands of years ago to explain something that we can logically explain today.

And what makes YOU so sure that you will rise from the dead?
NOONE else in 2000 years has ever been recorded as rising from the dead, apart from those 2 men in Palestine 2000 years and ago, (and there is debate on how accurate those reports are)
Due to the overwhelming LACK of evidence of believers being raised from the dead, it therefore makes sense that it is not physically possible.
Oh yeah, and I beleive everything Skano above me wrote too.

He sent many holy books. That's nice.
He sent many miracles. Just last week I heard on the news of a duckling born with four legs.
God can put four legs on a duck, but he can't answer the fervent prayer of a ten-year-old boy who begged God to stop his genetic defect and make him normal.
What makes you so sure Jesus won't smack you and cast you into Hell, for writing a sloppy question and not bothering to use your spell checker?
If your spell checker is broken, pray to God and ask him to fix it. Also your grammar checker and your logic checker.
Good luck and let us know how it goes.

Of course I believe in G-d, and I believe in obeying Him. But the "hell" that burns and tortures the bad for eternity is just a christian invention. I know for sure because the original Hebrew scriptures don't talk about it.

wow, things like that, the spewing of damnation to hell forever. i've lived the christian life for many years in a hard core way. i'm positive just by what i've seen and lived that there will be no afterlife for me. once dead forever dead. god didn't write the bible and just because there are "prophets" doesn't mean anything either. man appointed them as higher ups. until there is true proof that god appointed them to b more and to spread his gospel i won't believe :)

good question, especially since Jesus said:
" He that believeth and is baptized SHALL BE SAVED; he that believes not SHALL BE DAMNED ". - Jesus
One must clearly call Jesus a liar in order to substitute the "I can't go to hell" theory.
