What if I wake up tomorrow and, oh, it's all been a coma-dream? What if I wake up tomorrow and find myself falling through a big black hole with no end? What if I wake up tomorrow and the moon is coming to Earth? What if? What if you find out YOU were wrong? Who would you blame? The Church? Your parents? No. Yourself. This question is pointless.

What If?
What if you could read minds? What if you knew the winning lottery numbers one day early? What if you could live forever? What if you were breathing your last breath right now? What if you had already eaten your last meal? What if you had your conscience for a reason? What if you knew what the reason was? What if it were a beacon - a warning of an impending doom? What if justice were not corrupt, but something true something eternal? What if the standard for life were a perfect Law you already knew? What if in the stillness of a silent moment you knew you had broken that Law?
What if life is really a test, a series of choices, in which only one choice really matters? What if we ignore the inner warning light which pulses when we lie, steal and lust? What if even our hatred is counted as murder? What if pain and pleasure are only shadows of greater sensations to come? What if there is a Heaven? What if there is a Hell? What if there is a just Judge who knows even our thoughts? What if He holds us accountable for every thought, word and deed? What if our idea of justice is only a shadow of something coming - where the prison times are eternal and no bond can be posted once the sentence is passed? What if death is the fine for breaking an eternal Law? What if someone paid that fine for you? What if Jesus Christ is that person? What if He defeated death by rising from the dead? What if you could turn from your sin, put your faith in Him and live? What if He gave you your conscience to point you to Him?

The existence of a 'God' is not a problem for anyone, atheist or religious.
What is a problem, is the characterization given said deity, claims of ownership of that deity's thoughts, intentions and actions.
Let's put it this way, even if there IS a God, God doesn't know, love, care about or listen to you any better than any other person, rock, beetle, or plant in the universe. And to be perfectly honest, I want no part of any God who would, and have nothing but pity for that God's clueless minions attempting to create self-serving reasons for what they certainly do not understand.
It is highly presumptuous of you (or anyone) to assume that you can interpret, channel or speak for any Being in the universe except for yourself and perhaps your own minor children.
So, go back to the drawing board, rediscover the humility that informs most of us that we are not in charge or control of what happens either now or later, and do your best to lead a life you can be proud of, because this life is all you are going to get.

Which god? You will have to be specify in it because not only atheist all other religions, minus the only that worship this dumb dumb will be saved when the wikikiman-god came down and say "F*** I have no worshippers? Goodbye earth ........ darn .... I have to make another planet of people to praise me for eternity again ...... how many times do I have to remake a bloody planet filled with perfect defective human beings ...... I am perfect .... I created everything perfectly ....... but every perfect thing I created become imperfect ...... bla bla bla bla "
Then a planet sized comet came crashing onto earth and in the wide space before the humans were space dust they hear the last words of the one god wikikiman "Strike 1!!!! Yes ...... I wonder what will zeus says about this now" ...... and then another voice from the other one god say "S**t !!!!!"

I am not an Atheist, so I cannot answer for them, but if the Christian gig turns out to be true, I will have to gove God a big piece of my mind about those he is letting in to Heaven.
I said it before and I will say it again - I would be a Christian if it didn't mean I had to be so UNCHRISTLIKE. It's not the message that bothers me - it's all the people who are misusing it for their own gain and purpose.

I will answer, but you must answer the same question, too.
I would feel robbed by God. I would be angry at him for putting his word in the hands of fallible humans (that did a poor job, at that). I would also be angry that he made it appear to so many people that he didn't exist. Why didn't he make sure everyone believed? I'd tell him that he was cruel.

If there really is an omnipotent being that created everything and he is so incredibly small minded and petty of heart to want to punish me for eternity for doubting or not believing his existence, he's an infantile and compassionless god and I wouldn't want anything to do with him.
But I'm not really an atheist. I'm agnostic. And I think your Christian version of God has nothing at all to do with what an intelligence of that unimaginable breadth is really like.
In other words, your God is very small. It makes me feel sorry for you. Genuinely, wholeheartedly sorry.

What if you're wrong? What if you realize that there really is no God? Who would YOU blame?

The idea that there might be a God isn't a reason to believe in one. The idea that this God might be angry at me for not believing or acting in some way I consider absurd is also not a reason to believe. In short, when that time comes, I'll just say, "Well, what do you know!"

If I do something well in life, I'd rather it be for a selfless reason with no promised reward, than for the selfish reason of impressing someone, even God.
If there is a God, and he is not impressed by my willingness to perform an act of goodwill, or of living a moral life, without expectation of reward from him, then so be it. But I'd think that life would impress him more than the lives of the minions who do his bidding out of fear of retribution or from the lure of a heavenly reward.
