Atheists have a better chance of going to heaven than some Christians I know.

For one (and about 7million others worldwide) Christian(s) there are those who realize that this concept of Hell is the paganization of Christianity, and along with Christmas (Yule), and Easter, and the Trinity and thus have removed it from their worship of God, because it was not worshipping God how God wanted, but how men wanted, and we saw the fact that God set the outline for his true worship in the Begining, and maintained that outline when he refined it with the Christ.
I do not believe that you will go to hell, but I do believe that as the Christ said, you will fall asleep in death, but I also believe that those who die at Armageddon will not be like those who died before. They will acknowledge that Jehovah is the universal sovriegn, but as with being outside the Ark in Noah's day it doesn't matter if you believe when you "see the light" all of a sudden when calamity is upon you, but I am not sure that they will be ressurected like those who died before Armageddon. Now I admit I cannot be sure since I am not making the rules, but my sense of understanding is that God would not destroy someone just to bring them back.
Now if you are speaking of "God bless you" as a spell, I will also say most Witnesses I know of Do not say such things because it is a bit presumtuous for us as flawed humans to command blessings from God upon anyone. I say most because though I have never heard a Jehovah's Witness say such a thing doesn't mean that the flaws inherent to all mankind don't once in a while cause us to slip or stumble in our ways. And as for condeming people that is not in our job description it is to spread the news of glad tidings of the coming of God's Kingdom, and the nearby (time wise) removal of Satan's System of Things.
You sound fairly well educated, and like someone who is not scared to investigate a claim. So if you are up for the challenge you can ask for the free book "What Does the Bible Really Teach?" at www.watchtower.org Whats the worst that could happen, you might find its not as off the mark as you currently believe...

No one knows the eternal destiny of another person with complete surety. However, what the Bible does teach is that everyone has broken God's laws and that they will either have to stand before God on judgment day condemned as a law breaker or exonerated because the penalty for their lawless deeds has already been paid by God who sent his only Son Jesus to live a life free from sin and to lay it down as a payment for all who will repent of their sins and trust in the sacrifice that God has made for them through faith in his Son.

Hey now!!!! Not all Christians believe that. And true Christians don't say that. There is but one person who has the power to condem someone to Hell and that is GOD. Besides Hell isn't fire and Brimstone. Its knowing what you could of had. I think that Hell is going to be just like the world is now.
I have been told by lots of Bible beaters that I am going to hell and I am a Christian. I am LDS.

People who are weak abuot themselves feel a need to be better than others. Christianity offers such people that opportunity. Ignore them. It's like people who still believe in the Easter Bunny; humor them.

well , I would lik to ask you
who creates you? and why, for what?
also,
who give the order to the blood in your body to running 24/7 whether if you are wake up or sleep.
who tell the sun to rise from the east not from the west?
when the river meet the sea, why they don't mixed?
forget that you will be in hell, looking to your side and think, think and forget what pepole says.
i Hope you will find the truth.
My best wishes...

It is just insecurity.
"Truth does not demand belief. Scientists do not join hands every Sunday, singing, 'yes, gravity is real! I will have faith! I will be strong! I believe in my heart that what goes up, up, up must come down, down. down. Amen!' If they did, we would think they were pretty insecure about it." — Dan Barker (ex-preacher).

It's a defensive posture.
Everyone exposes themselves to suffering when they do wrong things... and Christians are certainly no exception to that.
