YES. And when you hear why, you'll rally to my side with blinding speed...
For one thing everyone knows that the God portrayed in the Bible is a infantile, lying sadist.
He creates the earth, he creates its physical laws, he creates man (christians always use the lame argument for creationism, "If God didn't make it, then where did it come from? You can't get something from nothing, you silly atheist!" But they never seem to mind the "always been," concept with God-Nobody had to "create" him...) then God procedes to test and punish his creation for "being imperfect."
God: Gee, Adam, I'm sorry but you didn't follow my instructions, you must be a flawed person. That means that I have to condemn you and all your billions of offspring to eternal torture...But dont worry! In about 10,000 years, I'll send a saviour, that will say and do the exact same things as 100 other pagan dieties before him, but HE'LL be the real one, you'll be able to tell that he's the true saviour...Um...Because he'll...Well...
Well don't worry about that right now, how about this, you take the blame for this "imperfection" thing by letting me sic my dog Satan on you all the time (a being created by God,) and if you keep telling me how great I am and do every little crazy stunt that pops into my head, maybe I won't kill you and lock your soul in a Bar-b-q grill with Satan, who I specially designed to have a hard on for making sure you fail...
If God exists he's a liar, a cheat and deserves to dwell in the lake of fire that he designed, do you really think that God is kind and loving? If God exists, (and its a HUGE if, a being that had the power of God wouldn't CARE if we loved him, he'd have better self esteem than that...) do you really believe that he's going to let you enjoy heaven?
No! Now he's right behind you all the time!
Better look sharp, God's watching!
Hey God! Why'd you make us do all that stupid crap when we were alive?
ZAP!!! (soul dissappears in a puff of smoke, a silence falls over the "rejoycing" multitude on Gold st....)
No, God cannot exist as he is described in the Bible. If there is a "supreme being" he's just F#CKING WITH YOU...So enjoy life, its yours, not his....Even if you still believe, He says He GAVE it to you, to do with as you will, the "gift" of freewill. But if you don't do exactly what he says with YOUR GIFT then he takes it back and tortures you mercilessly...How would you react to a person who acted like that?
Would you go around telling everyone how AWESOME he is?

*Drink!*
Okay, listen. I live a good life. It's full of love, understanding, and education about the world and people around me. I hurt no one. I kill no one. I pretty much live my life as best as I could ever hope to, making improvements day by day.
But I don't believe in God.
Having said all that, let's say that when I die, there IS a God--and He's none too happy about my lack of faith. If He casts me into the pit of Hell for my disbelief, then He was never worth worshiping. WHAT!?!? I hear you say. Well, think about it: I lived my life in peace and made serious efferts to understand my fellow man. If the part of my life that God has trouble with is the fact that I didn't believe in Him, then that makes him just a tad egotistical, wouldn't you say? And for Him to be willing--just the intent alone--to cast me into a lake of fire for all eternity JUST FOR THAT makes him evil as well. No, I don't think we deserve each other, if He is all Christianity has Him cracked up to be.
So go ahead and worship Him. I won't. And I won't worry about something that I've never been convinced exists in the first place. That's your ulcer, not mine.

Yes, I'm sure.
There is no way that I would waste a precious moment of my life turning over my power to a diety to gain security in my death. Creating fear of damnation was a terrible thing placed on humanity. The fact that so many still like to pull out what they think is a trump card, is laughable.
People get over that, you know.

There are over 2800 KNOWN gods that are worshiped by the various religions around the world. Are you going to worship ALL of them...just in case one of THEM is the right one? Better get studying, so you'll know all their names and what you're expected to do...
No? Why not? Are you sure you want to risk it?

This question has been asked like a billion times. Besides if you read the bible(like I use to before I wiped my @ss with it and announced I was finished with that sh*t.) It clearly states that everyone will go one of the levels of hell. (so, your @ss will be burning with mine.) Thank good logic that this doesn't exist.

If that's true and there is a god, we wouldn't end up in hell. After all, you religious types claim he's a forgiving and loving god. So, I guess he'd forgive us for not believing.
Now for your question ~ what if we are right and there is no god?

lol. Pascals Wager again.
Yep, I'll risk it. If you believe only out of fear that you might be wrong, then you are a fool and any god that might exist will know that you don't really believe but are only going through the motions.

And Pascal's Wager turns up yet again.

Yes. I say there's no god at all. If there really is (for the sake of argument), then I fail to see how anyone could possibly call it "just" to send me to hell for coming to the best conclusion I could with the evidence available to me. If your god really were such a self-absorbed jerk as to sentence everyone who does njot worship him to eternal torture, then he would not be worthy of respect...let alone worship.

But what if the Christian God isn't real and the Hindu gods ARE real? If the Hindu gods find out that you didn't believe in them, they'll be really mad. Are you sure you want to risk that?

What kind of a question is that? Do you ACTUALLY believe this is what god wants you to be doing? You honestly believe that being a rude person is doing god's work? Do you think you can just scare someone into believing what you believe.
