"So you don't believe in the eternal Barbeque then? That's one of the problems with you lot, you can't agree on anything. Not even on my punishment for telling Jesus willy jokes."
Really? I have always thought Jesus would have had a fairly earthy sense of humour, given his background and the people with whom he associated.
I like to think he would have a told some pretty funny fart jokes.
Besides, the notion an eternal hell is a Christian invention. It does not exist in Judaism, on which Christianity is based. It seems to have slowly evolved, starting with some vague Roman notion of the afterlife.
The atheist who simply says " I do not believe" is stating a position, not making a claim. This means the atheist has no burden of proof. The person who says" I believe in god(s) or "there is a god" is making a claim.This attracts the burden of proof. I am not optimistic about such proof being provided. This may be because no one in recorded history has ever provided such proof as far as I know. Be delighted to be proved wrong
