Will atheists go to Hell?

Question

Do you believe atheists will burn in Hell FOREVER?

Answer 1

Only a certain stripe of christian will answer yes to that question. What blows me away is that those same christians believe that Jesus said "I am the Truth..." If they REALLY believed that, I don't understand why they're so threatened by any atheist's pursuit to try and understand the truth of the universe. Because whether the atheist likes it or not, if Jesus meant what he said, then anyone who REALLY searches for the truth will, ultimately, end up in His arms.

Answer 2

I will make it simple I will quote from God's word which is where truth is I believe. Jesus said you will know the truth and it will make you free. Jesus talked more about hell than any of the prophets. He warned of a everlasting punishment and separation from God. He called it the second death a place of fire and brimstone. There is no water there Luke chapter 16. But if you do not believe as a atheist there is no God for you. Chapter Genius one says in the begining there was GOD!

IN the Name Of Jesus Christ Lord & KING

Answer 3

Sorry but I don't believe in hell. And even if I did, I know enough that most atheists are kind and loving people and most of us help our fellow man every single day. I work in a police department as well as a library and work with children. Do I deserve to go to hell just because I don't believe in god? That doesn't seem very fair.

Answer 4

No doubt.... If you don't believe in God.... then why would you go to heaven?? Of course atheists say they won't go to hell because they say there is not a hell. To go to heaven, you have to accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior.

Answer 5

Hell actually comes from Anglo-Saxon "helan" meaning "to cover." This means that the added implications as the word was translated have come from the imagination.

These ideas might have had something to do with it.

There are guilt-based cultures and shame-based cultures. Shame means feeling separated from yourself and I think that means from the mythological version of yourself that you'd like to be. The recompense for this is covering yourself. Anorexia and atheism are based on this, as adherents seek others who are likewise inclined. This is why atheists are geeks who resent the more influential highly religious to the point of being superstitious folk. Ancient Greece and Japan also fit this mold. These people tend to be rather vicious when they have been unsettled from their nice little spread of land. If an oligarchy like the Thirty Tyrants of Sparta takes over, with their scantily dressed maidens, the more covered-up Athenian exiles are merciless when they get the upper hand again. People are more interested in not losing face than in their personal redemption. As in 2 Kings 8:11, if this is what it's talking about (as I think it is), then Hazael's countenance became steadfast and then embarrassed because you can't live up to the mythological version of yourself. As James says in chapter 1:9 Believers in humble circumstances ought to take pride in their high position. 10 But the rich should take pride in their humiliation—since they will pass away like a wild flower. 11 For the sun rises with scorching heat and withers the plant; its blossom falls and its beauty is destroyed. In the same way, the rich will fade away even while they go about their business.

Guilt-based cultures are to do with recognition of the concept of offences or sins. The recompense for this is paying. Earlier, I proposed that the shame-based cultures like to keep their money because they earned it via mythology and they want to keep their mythology as their morality. The guilt-based cultures like to give theirs away as a way of saying sorry. The amount is conceived to be in relation to guilt rather than generosity.

So, now to 2 King 8:12 where the children's strongholds are set on fire. The strongholds, I think, are the daily routines and refusal to touch various life-inducing, inspiring things in case of contamination. I know a guy who does excellent silverwork flowers and then describes them as "bleak" for the art show write-ups. That is a weakness. Colossians 2:20 Since you died with Christ to the elemental spiritual forces of this world, why, as though you still belonged to the world, do you submit to its rules: 21 "Do not handle! Do not taste! Do not touch!"? 22 These rules, which have to do with things that are all destined to perish with use, are based on merely human commands and teachings. 23 Such regulations indeed have an appearance of wisdom, with their self-imposed worship, their false humility and their harsh treatment of the body, but they lack any value in restraining sensual indulgence.

This is the fire. The representation of hell is rather literalistic. Therefore, since I have the defined the atheists as shame-based (somebody else defined them as geeks), hell would be an absence of entertainment at the expense of intelligence for the atheists. In fact, they'll probably be in heaven too, but just not perceiving it that way. The guilt-based people might be in heaven but in hospital.

Answer 6

First, it does not matter what me or any one else belives. Im sure that an atheist would agree with that part. It matters only what is true according to god.

Answer 7

what u think? that God will give u a place in heaven wherelse in the first place you never even believed Him and His existence. You are human, upon your dead you will loose your free will and the right to choose....free will and the right to choose had be given to you on this earth...i hope you will make a wise decision soon.

Answer 8

Not if they're right.

Not according to minority opinion within Christianity, if that's right.
Not if the Buddhists are right.
Not if the pantheists are right.
And so on...

Only if one of the views that so asserts is correct.
(Most of Christianity, and Islam, principally?)

Answer 9

yes, according to the Bible (in which I believe) those who do not believe and accept Christ's salvation will go to hell.

Answer 10

Some will, some won't. No one can answer that question with any confidence. Only God can decide.

Cheers :-)
