Reading a question on whether the insane get to heaven, I just had an epiphany.
1) People seem to agree that if you are too insane to understand salvation then you can still get into heaven (invincible ignorance is the theological term).
2) Christians seem to agree that Atheists should believe in god because of the evidence in the bible, in creation, or in other aspects of nature.
3) Pascal's wager would indicate that it would be insane not to believe in the bible.
4) Ergo, Atheists must be insane to maintain their Atheism and, thus, will get into heaven under the "insane, incapable of belief" card. Quod erat demonstrandum
So all you christians can lay off the hellfire and brimstone. We're in and you still have to work at it.

Hey good one Dave. Only problem with that thinking is that God knows if you are unable to make the right decision. The insanity plea may work in our liberal court system but, not in Gods perfect court. Amen and Peace out.............

Clear proof that applying logic based on incorrect data will always give incorrect answers.
Computer axiom is that if you put rubbish in you will get rubbish out.
1. First assumption is that there is a heaven. No evidence exists to substantiate this.
2. People seem to agree that insane people go to heaven is based on a belief structure accepted by a minority of the population of the world without any evidence that either heaven exists or that insane people can be saved.
3. Christians only seem to agree. Fundamentaly they agree on nothing other than they are right and everybody else is wrong.
4. Pascal's wager indicates that it would be insane not to believe in everything from Hindu, Muslim, Christianity, Judaism and any cult you can think of. Believe in all or believe in none and you are still likely to be wrong.
5. Atheists are insane. I know I am.
I object to your interference in my civil liberties. I reserve the right to be an Atheist, proclaim my lack of fear in going to Christian hell which I don't believe exists and look forward to eternity with like minded maniacs.
Good exercise in verbal gymnastics but I have one worrying thought for you.
Can you imagine eternity spent with true believers? If they are right I suspect that I will be sent to the same place they go. For them it may be heaven but for me it would certainly be hell. I think I will stick to oblivion as a choice for after death.

The existence of heaven and the existence of a deity are 2 separate subject concerns. Did it by no skill ensue to you that a heaven could exist devoid of deities? As for if Jesus decrease back, sure, i might have faith that Christianity has some advantage. in spite of the indisputable fact that, i would not be a worshiper. perception and worship are no longer the comparable ingredient.

Hai!
Firstly, If Atheists doesn't believe the existance of God, it's mean that they didn't believe in heaven and Hell because God create these two place as a reward or punishment. so, no heaven for atheists. (They should questioned themselves, how can they exist if they didn't have a creator (God) to create them)
Secondly, i'm proud to say that i'm not christians.

Sure, go ahead. Why do you care if you're really an atheist? There is no God and no Heaven anyway, right? It sounds like you're working really hard to try to cover all your bases, but going about it entirely wrong.

Nice try but the bible and Jesus definitely say something differently. And the insane or retarded will go to hell. I'm an atheist but I'll go ahead and attack you before they do haha.

Nobody justs gets in, I believe that you could be a Cardinal, but be a really bad person and go to hell, and if your atheist, but a really good person, you have just as much right as a Christian.
