Welcome to Gaia! ::

Think of what you should say before you actually say it. I'm not speaking for anyone's side but he clearly said "WHAT IF.."

What if you died today (not believeing in god) and god sent you to hell , how would you react (keep in mind that hell is a place where maggots are treated better than humans) ???

and another question

Wouldnt it be easier to pray,read the bible, and go to church (which doesnt take
that much time) , rather than spend an eternity in hell ???

Some people think that hell is not a bad place to be but until you go there you will never know



If I died today (not believing in god) and god (if there is one) sent me to hell, I wouldn’t really care, if he decided to send an innocent to hell just because they didn’t believe in him and not having any CONCERETE proof that he actually does exist then I wouldn’t want to believe in such a sadist. Because really? Would someone of such a “Kind heart" condemn someone to hell (in your opinion a horrible place of which you have never seen) when they never knew the truth? And was just led astray? No, someone as revered and so "high up" would never do this unless they were never "pure hearted" to begin with. Corruption in your "almighty" god

And no it would not be easier to slave away and pray, read the bible, and go to church if i do not believe in that. That is my own personal hell. Perhaps some of us have tried to "See the light" and believe in god. But for me ... it just feels wrong and no one can sway me to believe in something i do not wish to believe in.


Just because people choose to not believe in god doesn’t mean the need to be ridiculed upon and cast aside as the "Trash" you "believers" see us to be. We do not need converting! We decide to believe in something just as you do. We do not try to make you see it our way so we hope you extend the same generous offer to us.

So basically, if god did exist and condemned me to hell he would absolutely not be the god u wish or think him to be .. which is merciful and kind. Which is not shown by condemning an innocent to "A horrible eternity in hell"

Even though I don’t believe in him I shall answer your question against what I believe in using the hypothetical statement "IF god exists"

Could be awesome, then?

Since when did fiction become a reliable source?
My thoughts exactly! When DID the Christian Bible become a reliable source?

Actually, there are proofs that Moses did existed in the world. He's the adopted cousin of the Egyptian pharaoh Ramzes II (the pharaoh when the Hittites tried to envade Egypt but the war ended to a draw).
I really don't think it matters because if I don't believe in this god right now and then I die and find out I was wrong it's not like it's my fault. I didn't think he was real.

that still does not make god real, trogen war happened, were the gods real?

You've got a good point here. No one's been to hell to talk about it. It could be nice, but we've been told stories about hos horrible and crappy it is.

That's like me, having heard all kinds of stories about how nasty and horrible New Jersey is, deciding that New Jersey must be a terrible hellhole, even though I've never been there.

Granted though, from what I've heard, even from people living in New JErsey, it is that bad. Just using it as an example, before anyone jumps up screaming "But Jersey does suck!"
Well it seems there must be a higher power because before religions started copying traditions off of one another, every country seemed to have its own religion. Even before they got in contact with other religions. It is engrained in us that there is a higher power.

What if you died today (not believeing in god) and god sent you to hell , how would you react (keep in mind that hell is a place where maggots are treated better than humans) ???

Wouldnt it be easier to pray,read the bible, and go to church (which doesnt take
that much time) , rather than spend an eternity in hell ???

I have a question for you,
If God is supposed to love all, why'd we have to go to hell?
Why should we be treated like maggots when we're just humans who don't believe?

I don't have to answer the first one, since, well, I'm not an atheist. Your second one though, that's funny. Praying, reading your bible, and going to Church are not the things that get you out of hell. Accepting Christ as savior gets you out of hell.

What if you die and you realize there's nothing there? It can go either way. Lots of people have a God they believe in and call it the one true God. You can't all be right. You're not any more right than someone else who believes in a God. On that point, why is "worshipping" God so important? Why isn't it enough that you're a good person?

Well, if there was nothing there, I wouldn't realize it. Now would I?

Yep, so it's pointless to think about what happens after death because you just don't know. It doesn't really matter either until you die. Worry about it when you die if you can think after death. That whole "soul" thing is confusing.

What if it's not pointless? The bible warns agaisnt this kind of thinking. You can't decide after you're dead. You already made your choice. And your choice was wrong.

Why is it not pointless? No matter how much you believe in something there's always the chance you can be wrong. It's better to just live your life to its fullest and not think about what happens afterwards until it comes. We're all going to die so let's worry about it when death comes.

Edit: If you believe in whatever God, good for you. But don't obsess over what happens to you when you die. That'll just ruin the fun that life is.
