'Hell' is one way many bible translations translate the word for 'grave'. Other translations use the words 'Sheol' or "Hades'. It is a place which humans go at death. A place of nonexistence. (See Eccl 9:5,10).
It is not a place of eternal punishment. That teaching is not biblical. God does not punish nonbelievers or sinners in a fiery torment. That's cruel.
If you personally will go to the grave when you die ? Since that's where we all go the answer would be yes. For many there's the hope of a resurrection (rising up) from the grave to another opportunity for life. (Acts 24:15;Ps 37:29)
Much, however, does depend on how we respond to Gods love when we live. He is the final Judge, so who comes back, is up to him.
Curious...You say "I'm 13, a complete atheist..." So young and all ready made your mind up that there's no Creator. May I ask, sincerely, what has convinced you he does not exist ?

First, let me say that I am hopeful that your question is hypothetical and that you have many years to live as you deserve.
Secondly, as an agnostic, here is what I think: A deity with the intelligence and ability to create a universe (!) would not also be demanding, vengeful, and petty. Therefore, should you, I (or any nonbeliever) die "unsaved" in the eyes of the religious, that would not matter to a god who (incomprehensible genius that he must be) would be capable of understanding that we were disbelievers because we could not accept the narrow range of choices we were afforded here in our mundane world; "faith" is not a concept which one can nurture if one is a realist. Nor would a true god have bothered to create a punishment so mundane as hell, nor would he condemn the thinking human, whose only "sin" was to question theology, to an eternity of torture and suffering. The cosmos is unimaginably beautiful and glorious, complex beyond humanity's meager understanding; if it was indeed produced by "intelligent design", the producer/designer surely was kind and beneficent rather than maleficent and cruel. Do not worry for your eventual fate...

Jeez, Do Atheists think that when it ends, it's all over...like nothingness...like shutting off the tv? Do you think that you have a Spirit? Why aren't all people the same? What makes you like the foods you like? What makes you enjoy the things you like to do? What makes you do the things you enjoy? Spirit...you've got Spirit... an inner Spirit, and that's who you are. What have you learned from experiences in your life? God's will is guiding everything whether we like it or not, and in Hell, we are just another coal, fueling the train that Satan is taking to the day of Rapture. Consider all the possibilities of life after death, and think on what makes the most sense to you. But trust me, in Hell, you have no will, are at Satan's mercy, and do his bidding, suffering forever. Not alot of it makes sense to me either, with all the religions out there. But being "saved" is simply telling God, that "IF" it is all true, you admit that you are nothing but a normal sinning human who wishes for Jesus (our savior) to come into your heart and forgive you. It's that easy and what can it hurt? That's only a step toward righteousness, but it gets you into Heaven, there are ditch diggers in Heaven.

Hell dosn't await you. Something that could be infinintly better or far far worse awaits you.It depends on your opinion.You see,you arent going to exist anymore.Life and even existance wont exist to you.You wont remember,think,or be concious anymore.You wont have emotions anymore.You wont be able to witness anything anymore.Death is similar to an eternal sleep without dreams or waking up.But,when you die,you wont even know it.Because it will be like you never lived in the first place.Accepting this is the one only thing that makes being a devoted athiest a hard task.

Just because you don't believe in God does not mean He doesn't exist. I've never seen a million dollars but I know they exist.
I don't believe you will go to Hell, although it is real. Hell is where souls go when they refuse to love God or accept His love. It is a choice that we make.
You have no idea how loving and merciful God is. If your sins were a million times more horrible than say, Hitler, God would still forgive you. He is near you always. He is a gentleman. He will not come into your heart uninvited.
When you confess your sins and ask God to forgive you, your sins are gone. Your sins are like a single drop of water in the ocean. Can you retrieve your drop of water out of the ocean? His mercy is like the ocean.
Even when you are dying, if you do not call His name; He'll call yours. God Bless you and heal you body, mind, soul and spirit.

Yes, but only if you don't accept God into your life. If you truly only have 3 months to live, why take the chance of there not being a God. There is nothing to lose. There is absolutely NO reason why any one should take the chance of eternity in Hell. It is an indescribably terrible place, but you don't have to spend forever there, because God loves you. Jesus died sinless and wen to Hell for three days so that you wouldn't have to go there. Jesus already did the hard part, now all you have to do is let Him into your life.

Please READ
PLEASE...
Well how can their not be a designer?
Look all around you the sun, stars the plants, animals. Living on a plant the perfect distance form the sun,with the perfect tilt, and a life cycle. Also the perfect temperature, and right amount of gases for us to breathe. The human body...where ever organ has a purpose. The heart pumps blood to , The brain so we can think and feel.Ears eyes and noses perfect so we can hear just the right amount of sound,see all Gods creation, and nose to smell.
Nerves to feel. Reproduction organs so to continue life on Gods earth.
Gods book the Bible...is that most accurate book from its time period in existence. God died for you their is proof everywhere.
Why do you keep denying God YOUR CREATOR and who died for your sin to have life?
If you confess with your mouth and believe in your heart you shall be saved. If not, you will spend eternaty in HELL.
Is rejecting Gods creation worth burning in HELL.Its your free choice.

That is the way you are headed, however, you have a chance, for 3 months, to change your eternal destiny.
Repent and go the other way, towards Heaven.
There are 2 ways to live and this site can help you make the decision of which way you will go.

Of course not! To begin with, hell was made up by the church to scare people into converting to Xtianity. Secondly, seeing as you are thirteen I highly doubt you have done anything so terrible as to go there even if it did exist.

I believe that you are doing some soul searching and I will pray that God helps you come to the correct decision.
If you are truly sorry for your unbelief and you want to be assured of spending eternity with God Almighty, simply get down on your knees and pour your heart out to God. It is Gods desire that not one soul should perish, that is why He makes it easy for us to know Him. Just pray, talk to Jesus and tell Him your fears, tell Him your doubts and ask Him to come into your heart and forgive you for your indifference to Him. Christ Jesus will be waiting for you with open arms upon your entry into heaven.
I will pray for you.
God Bless You....Peace.
