i am not religeous i have a belief system though.. but thats another point
i live my life according to my own morals, i stand up for what i belive in, i protest on many fronts including gay rights despite not being gay myself, i am pacifistic as far as possible and i try to forgive people who offend me, i accept everyone as equal regardless of race, religeon, sexuality, gender etc
in short im a good person (or at least i try to be)
but.. heres the kicker i dont belive in god
i am completley unrepentant for this
and i dont regret any past sins for its from them that i learn and grow as a person

In order to find your answer you need to know what your asking.
-When you die Your body ceases to live. The only thing that stays alive is your Spirit (Consciousness of life) witch is eternal. However with ought a body you have no senses. (touch, smell, sight, taste, and hearing.)
-If you have not Accepted Christ into your life you will not get a new body. (Heaven) with all its new senses, however many of it will have. I hope more than 5. lol. They outcome of you not getting this new body will be what people call Complete separation from God or (Hell). The ability to exist consciously without the ability to exist physically for all eternity.
-You do not go to (Hell) for how you live your life it is just the outcome of not Accepting Christ and him giving you your new eternal ability to exist physically.

You shouldn't believe that you are less of a person because you are not religious. Religion is just another aspect of culture, after all. It's the same as what language you speak or what kinds of clothes you where. Someone who doesn't speak the same language as you or even not at all is no less of a person. If God does exist, sending you to hell for living such a life would be a horrendous crime. If you don't believe in God, don't try to force yourself to because evangelists are trying to scare you with hell. If "accepting Jesus into your heart" is the only path to heaven as so many claim, only a minor portion of people who have ever lived would make it into heaven. That is one of the main problems I have with religion, second only to the sheer amount of violence it inspires. If you keep living your life the way you say you do, the world will be a better place. If only everyone claiming to be living the "life of Christ" really did so, then I may have stayed a Catholic. But by no means change your ways because you are frightened of hell. Nobody knows any more about it than you do.

I don't think you would be happy in heaven in this type of thinking.
Maybe if you knew the truth about God you would think different.
Hell is a time when those who do not want to be in heaven are destroyed permanently. Heaven will be here on this earth and there is no room for those who are not part of the system.

OK, here's the deal, my son! I am the supreme to whom the light leads!
Now u've bin a good little sinner! And u shall b punished by going 2 the gate of seventh hell. But as u r a pacifist, so u shall b banished to the gate of sixth hell. And for an added merit of being a forgiving soul, u shall be promoted to the gate of fifth hell. As an extra bonus of being a non-racist, u shall b rewarded the gate of fourth hell! And to throw in an extra extra bonus of being a non-religious bigot, u shall meet the gate-keeper of third hell. As for being a non-gender-bias person, I am still negotiating with the Goalkeeper of second hell!
However, what the hell, as u r trying 2 b a good person, u shall go straight to the gate of nunero uno hell and skip hell 2!
Now, as for heaven, let me see.
Since u r unrepentant. I am still negotiating with G.O.D. myself. Let me think and ponder over this intriquing poser.
B good, my son. Repent & worship me! Then I shall look favourably on ur heaven assignment!
God(me) bless u, my son! Amen(me)

God does not dislike you if you don't believe in him. Just ask any good Christian, he loves everyone. And like every good Christian, Jesus does not judge you.
Hell is actually here with all the Christians that never live up to the standards they set for everyone else. It's not good enough that you have a true heart for mankind, you still don't make the grade. So, I guess I'll be seeing you in their version of hell. It will be nice to meet someone of your character, regardless of what sect you chose to support.

Being a do-gooder or a ne'r-do-well, is completely meaningless, just like going to heaven or hell. Heaven and hell are not eternal and you come back to life and it's miseries again and again, and that is the point. The purpose of being here is to try to love God and striving to become one with Him. Everything else has 0 significance. If you're concerened about what happens to you, it's your ego rattling it's cage and not you the soul, who has no worries and has existed and will exist forever.

It's a good thing your trying to be a good person but according to the Bible " whosoever believeith in him shall not perish but have everlasting life" . There is a God though many try to disprove the fact and he did send his son to pay for our sins . God put us on earth to make the choice for ourselves...heaven or hell.

"For God so loved the world [yes, that means YOU] that He sent His only begotten Son that whosoever believeth on Him should not perish, but have everlasting life."
Does that sound like a God who "doesn't like" you?
It also says you don't go to heaven by being a good person or your behavior or ANYTHING else apart from accepting Christ as your savior.
If someone doesn't believe in God and is "completely unrepentant" (how can you be unrepentant if you don't believe there is a God to repent to????) then that is a clear road to hell.
whether you end up there or not isn't for me to judge....it will be for God.

You may not believe in God, but he believes in you. Just keep living the way you are. My God will accept you into his place when the time comes. See you there!

If you only follow your morals, then you have no standard to look up too.
You can be a good person but Jesus is very clear. Jesus answered, "I am the way the truth and the light. No one comes to the Father except through me." John 14:6.
The fact is that we have eternal life. It is either spent in the presence of the living God...or it is living without the presence of God and instead in the presence of the enemy (Satan, devil, etc.)
God will honor where you choose to spend eternity. The choice is yours.
John 3:18-20
18 "He who believes in Him is not condemned ; but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. 19 And this is the condemnation, that the light has come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.
NKJV
