I dont stand around and talk about what I believe in. I just saw that other question a few mins ago and it got me thinking. This is the first time I think I have ever brought it up. I only talk about it when others bring it up. So lets not get rude.

Study what evidence? I havent seen firm evidence that proves either way.

I dont know what I believe in. Everyones life is tough, I know that. I guess growing up, I went through a lot of stuff I guess it all happened for a reason but none of it was good stuff. I think thats why I dont believe. I used to go to church on a regular basis up to a certain point and then I just stopped going.

you said: "I dont down anyones beliefs, yet I get downed for what I believe."
But you don't believe...so how can someone "down" your beliefs when you don't have beliefs?
Your unbelief cannot change God...you can be falling from an airplane at ten thousand feet without a parachute, and not believe your going to die...but your unbelief isn't going to stop you from becoming a puddle of mashed goo.
lol, I believe there is not heaven or hell, Thats my belief.

I believe in God. I believe in Jesus Christ as my Savior and I believe in heaven and hell... but I get just as many 'downs' as anyone else. people give downs to those that do not think like them... rather than looking at the answer and seeing if there is thought and truth in what they say, even if they don't agree with it....

You have already answered your own question. It doesn't matter if you believe in hell or heaven. It doesn't matter if you believe in the googlie googes on Mars. It doesn't matter what you believe about heaven or hell because even if you don't believe in it the reality is this- there is a heaven and there is a hell. Just because you cannot see it or feel it or touch it does not mean it doesn't exist. However, I do believe that the word has been mis-translated very badly. The word hell is almost always the Greek word AEON which is pronounced eon- meaning a set length of very long duration. So, even though the Bible does talk about those that have rejected Christ being sent to everlasting torment in hell I do not agree because the eon means a set amount of time, so I am left believing the literal Word of God saying- those that have rejected Christ will be sent for an EON to endure torment in hell.

As ironic as it may sound, the people who have told you that you will go to Hell for not believing in God; are probably telling you that because they love you, and are burdoned about what will happen to you after you leave this life. If they didn't care about you, they could just say, "Okay, you don't believe in God or Hell, well that's fine, believe what ever you want, It's a free country." If it is the people who really love you that are "downing" you for your beliefs, they may even cry tears over you as they pray for you on their knees before they go to bed at night. Why don't you try praying to God to ask Him to show you if he is real. Read John chapter one of the Bible, and ask God if this is truth or fiction

I don't believe in god, heaven or hell either. You have to realize that as a whole you are not going to get a positive reaction from others for what you believe. I don't bring it up either unless prompted in some way. I am certainly not ashamed of it and I do not have it in me to be a hypocrite.
Christians are very intolerant people. Get used to it.

This is the first time I will hear some one say he does not believe God. An athiest will think twice before making the statement .Anyway, believe that there is a supreme being. As I always say (heart has her reasons that reasons know nothing about )

You are an Atheist.
That's if you truly don't believe in
heaven or hell.
I don't see why you should get downed for this.
As long as you are saying and mean what you say.
Without bashing then you should be fine.
I now say I respectfully ask this question and I don't get bothered by anyone.
You should try it.

If there is such places as heaven and hell then we make them for ourselves here on this planet.
For you and me too when it is over then that is exactly what will be. It will be over and done with and you are no more and I will be no more as well.
As long as someone remembers us then we have lest something. When no one remembers we belong to no one.

I have to ask...
If you don't believe in God, then what *do* you believe in? I'm not putting you down, I'm simply a believer trying to understand better why someone does not/can not believe in a supreme creator.
In Christ,
Dennis

This is what christians do, pay no attention. You will go into the black nothingness that we all go to. Remember before you were born...it's like that.
