you die and it turns out that there IS a GOD and there is a HELL that you are entering for not believing?

Look, if God is going to forgive murderers, he'll forgive an atheist

All other religions....What are you going to do if you die and there is No god and No devil, no heaven or hell and the bible was just the best fairy tale ever told?....
No answers!?
How can you ask such a question when there is no evidence of 'god' as you know it now. And what about all the Druids, Atheists and Ancients who didn't know anything about your god....Did they all go to your 'hell'? Or maybe they went to their own 'Gods'?.... Your 'God' did not exist back then to humans. Also, Is it not written that your 'God' is all forgiving?...would he not forgive Atheists for following their logic and not a story? AND....does it really matter what 'God' you believe in, as long as you live by a good set of morals, value the good things in life and LIVE your life instead of waisting time in a church or praying/talking to an imaginary friend or leader!......You know, some people are lock away for that.
Maybe you should open your mind and accept other peoples views, as we all have to.

Rebellion sounds good.Besides who in their right mind wants to serve a selfish god anyway.I hate that your god takes away freedom of choice in heaven.I hate the idea of spending an eternity worshiping an egotistical maniac.There are so many reasons to not want to believe in that crap.Religion is the main reason that people kill each other.Muslims killing each other and Christians doing the same in the name of their gods.Personally,the separation of church and state is not enough.People came to america to ditch religious persecution.Funny they never took into effect the idea that they were creating whole new beast in this country.The moral majority is taking away more freedoms even as we speak.If"you people"would get your rectal/cranium inversion fixed you would see that!

The word "atheist" is derived from the Greek particle "a," meaning without, and the noun "theos" meaning God. It is for this reason that the English word is spelled "atheist," and not "athiest."
Glad to be of help.

really, why do you numbnuts keep returning to this inane bullshit? Is there something wrong with your brains?
Hey, if you die and it turns out God is actually Zeus, what will you say? Or Ra? Or Allah? Or one of the million other gods that have come and gone?
And really, if your christian sky daddy turns out to be real, I will state the following: "I have used the brain given to me by you to follow the evidence you left to conclude that you didn't exist. Will you condemn me to hell for using my brain, and how is that reasonable?"

In your view we won't do anything but suffer eternal torture at the hands of your oh-so-merciful god. Isn't that right? So there's nothing for us to do but twist in the flames. The question is, what are you going to do? Will you sit in heaven and look over the rail and gloat as you watch billions writhing in eternal hellfire, screaming in terror and agony and yet unable to die? We hung the Nazi leadership for less monstrous acts than your god plans for those who don't flatter him correctly, but in your blindness and barbarism you call this megalomaniac obscenity a "God of Love." My cat is a lot more worthy of worship. Even the hairballs he chokes up are a lot more worthy of worship.

Um... First, ask God if I could stay. Then... if He said no, then I would ask if I could have a katana. If He said no, then I would give Him my opinion about the Bible's credibility because I would be more likely to believe him if he made the Bible's cover and pages from an unearthly material.
If He gave me the katana, I would say thanks, and go to Hell to kill Satan with a few of my friends.

Oh, man, it's way too early in the morning to drink. I'm saving this one for tonight.
Google "Pascal's Wager", and remember that you asked this question when later on I point out that believers don't seem to know very much about religion compared with atheists. You just became a perfect example.

How loving is it to look at another human being, believing that person to be destined for Hell in the afterlife, and BE OK WITH THAT?
What a toxic, divisive, arrogant, cold-hearted, self-centered act that is. It's disgusting.
I can hear the apologists jumping up, "But we're NOT OK with it! That's why we're trying to save you!"
You're trying to save us from Hell because you believe that if you don't, WE'RE GOING THERE. You ascribe to a belief system that accepts this as "truth".
Disgusting.
And if your "Rapture" does happen, while all of you are jumping for joy, the atheists of this world will be shedding tears of sorrow over the suffering of their fellow human beings, because they LOVED THEM ENOUGH, in life, to REJECT A BELIEF SYSTEM THAT ENDORSES HUMAN SUFFERING.
Don't you think for one moment that your Jesus wouldn't notice that, and don't you dare assume for one moment that he'd be taking you anywhere.

IF... we are assuming the axiom you set forward.... that there were a hell, and heaven, and god.... (and its a far stretch) ...
.... Then I would be sure to inform the all-hearing god that he is a complete retard.... Afterall, if he really wanted people to be saved, he would use a method that actually worked... ¬_¬ ... No intelligent person would be converted by christian proselytising...
Unless of course god's intent was to have heaven full of brain-dead morons who will jump to his every whim (which is a bit superfluous if one is omnipotent).....
... Or alternatively, that brains are the fuel that keep hell burning.

It is funny how people who ask this foolish question tend never to ask the obvious counterpart question about their own faith. How would you feel if on your deathbed in old age you realized that you had wasted your entire life believing in a god that you decided did not exist? This is of course a stupid question, isn't it, in the same manner as yours.
