I am curious, if you don't believe in the existance of god, How do you think the Universe came to be? I know, the Big Bang, I believe that theory to. But with out a higher power, that could not have happened. How about life. How did it all start and how is it we are able to still exist and evolve? Why did all the planets line up around the sun like they did in the solar system with out a god to guide them into place?
The theorys don't make sense with out a god.
Keep this in mind to: If you live your life and believe in god, but you die and he does not exist, you have lost nothing. However, if you live life believing he does not exist and die and see that he does, you have lost every thing! Now you will burn in Hell forever!
If you don't believe in god, you better hope to HELL you are right! If you don't believe, then please don't celebrate Christmas, Easter, Chaunaka or any other religious hollidays!!

If you don't believe, go put your hands on a stove and turn it on. That is what will happen to you in Hell! It will be that real and hot. It will give you 3rd degree burns and melt your skin off!

One other thing for non believers, you need not eat Christmas Cookies, Candy Canes or any other holliday related foods. It doesn't matter if it is related to Jews, Christians, Hindus Budists or any other religion. You shouldn't eat it, because you havn't earned the right.
All religions belive in God and I am not knocking any of them. We all want to go to Heaven, we are just taking different roads to get there.
Non-believers will not go. :(

A long time ago when people left each other, they said, "God Be With You".
Eventually this got shortened to Good Bye. How and why, I don't exactly know. But non believers should not say Good Bye either.
Maybe you should say Adios, Auf-Wiedersein or chose some other language, but don't use a modified version of "God Be With You"!

If those of us who don't believe in the Christian god all go to Hell, will we still have the same bodies we have now? I'm just curious because supposedly those of you going to Heaven won't have "earthly bodies". If we don't have the same bodies we now have, how will our skin melt off?
EDITED TO ADD THE FOLLOWING LETTER FROM THE ORIGINAL POSTER:
Hello Brooke (brookestone0904),
You have received a message from another user!
From: david a
Subject: religous question.
Message: My analogy of putting your hands on the stove means that they say hell is going to be a Fire pit! If you go there, Saintain will do to you the same thing Hitler did to the Jews! Put them in an oven and burn them!
Now better yet, put your whole body in the oven and turn it up to 1,000 degrees and lock your self in there. That is how hot it is there. It is that painful and real. Like I say, if I am wrong, I have lost nothing, if you are wrong, you lost it all and will burn in hell forever! God only forgives those who believe in him and ask for his forgiveness.
Christmas is the day we celebrate the birth of Christ. Easter is the Death and reserection of Jesus. So don't celebrate them or Chaunaka or any Muslim hollidays or those of any other religion. Don't put a Christmas Tree in your hous or lighst on your house or a Mannora or any thing. I shall pray for you. If you gamble with eternity and you are wrong, it is not like a poker game where you lose your money. You can earn that back in the next game, However, with eternity in Hell, there is no Second chance, so you better hope you are right.
As far as Santa Clause and the Easter Bunny, etc. Traditions have evolved over the Centuries and trading gifts, coloring eggs, etc. have just came to be the way to celebrate these things. Just like every thing else.
EDIT: And I was so impressed at your open-mindedness with the follow-up question to this question.... then you edit this question to say that non-believers shouldn't say "Good Bye"??? ok.... but now, what I REALLY want to say would probably get me reported.

Your source: A book that is inspired because it says it is.
Can I assume by your assertions that you are an Old Testament believer? Because the The New Testament says that the Christ died for our sins, so we don't have to worry about going to Hell. Since you are threatening us with Hell, then you might want to eliminate some of those Christ-related terms, yourself, such as Christmas and Easter. Hanukkah is OK, because the Jews do not accept the divinity of Jesus.
Before you start acting like you know anything about other religions, you better do some homework. Some have one deity, some have many, others have none and there are those who recognize the divine spark in each soul, rather than some nebulous sky-like location. There are many creation stories, destruction stories savior stories and virgin birth stories from religions much older than Christianity.
What does Christianity have that these others may or may not have? It has a book that says it is inspired and some of the best PR people in history.
Namaste,
-Z
BTW, Dios is Spanish for God, so adios probably translates to something like "go with god."

Pascal's wager. I admit, they are getting longer every time, but they are still just Pascal's wager.
As for celebrating holidays, they aren't religious holidays. Everyone gets them, not just the religious. You might celebrate some religious event on those days but it doesn't mean we can't enjoy the day off work. Besides, what have chocolate eggs got to do with religion? What has a fat man in a red suit got to do with Jesus?
Edit: Wow! You really are getting desperate to have your faith validated. What in hell does a stove and belief have to do with one another. That is the most ridiculous piece of reasoning I have ever seen. ROFL!!!!
Hey Brooke, I got the exact same message. Word for word. :)

IMO, the human brain is not evolved enough to understand the true origins of our universe and whatever is beyond it
since God is supposedly forgiving, hell sounds to me like what some crazy ppl have made up. living as a christian takes time and stops you getting up to lots of fun activities... so yeah you do lose something through religious moral righteousness

I don't know how the universe came to be. Do you? Or are you going to ask me to believe your explanation on faith? Even if science had no answers to your questions, that would offer exactly 0 evidence for the existence of a god.
The rest of your question is simply an act of Christian/religious terrorism.

Don't worry, i wont celebrate your holidays, they are all Hallmark holidays now anyway.
So, according to you, god snapped his fingers and all that happened, sorry you are so blinded by faith that you cant even listen to reason, and also, thumbs up to you for having such an open mind. I'd rather burn in hell than worship some man made god.
Testicles...that is all.
Sidenote....Buddhists do not believe in god by the way.
Another sidenote....id rather party with satan anyway.

If you believe in the God and god doesn't exist, then you lose 10% of your income and life.
If you don't believe the God and die, you will still go to heave. It's very simple , because your God is benevolent God. No matter whether you believe or not, you still will, cause He is BENEVOLENT GOD.
Your God is benevolent, isn't he ?

Humans do not possess the capacity to comprehend and imagine the aspects of what we often refer to as God, higher power, supreme being, universal force, etc etc. & thus we continue to name it, argue about it, and question ourselves about the almighty power

I've just read your "additional details" and it nearly made me sick. Is it any wonder that people like you get abused on Y!A.
I just hope you never reach a position of power in your church - because the kids are going to be in big trouble if you do.
