I'm not angry you prefer the English or Irish. I think, in time, I could persuade you that there are some decent Welsh too...

Oh, my darling, I already know there are. I have a great love for all of you boys in that area - from the Irish and the Scots all the way on down. This conversation is best served in a goofier area though.

4) because atheists are not gullible enough to believe things without proof and we cannot force ourselves to believe,(I have tried) would god be nice to us because of this?
1- You would be dead waiting resurrection

2-They'll be OK. If they get old and have been decent folks they'll come back with you.

3- No doubt your Mum will be back.

4- Darn tootin.

You tried but were/are the victim of misinformation. You'll be OK.

I'm not a Christian but I think I can answer these questions for most Christians:
1) You will burn forever after death. You will feel unimaginable amounts of pain and there is no going numb in hell.
2) They will suffer the same fate as you after death because the Bible is just everywhere.
3) God doesn't really care how nice/good/moral you are in your life, what he really cares about is whether or not you accept Jesus in your heart or whether or not you are in a RELATIONSHIP with Jesus.
4) The smell of your flesh burning in hell for eternity overcame the smell of the sarcasm in this question. God does not take kindly to those who reject Jesus in their hearts despite the overwhelming evidence that is all around us and in the Bible in the form of the prophecies that were correctly predicted.

Sounds about right. Clap
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

@The Flying Skeptic, sorry if you feel that way. As for any Christians who have answered, I don't remember any of them saying you'll burn forever in hell. I could review though, in case I missed it. Anyways, I don't think anyone I've ever met or will, will burn forever in Hell.
"There ought to be a term that would designate those who actually follow the teachings of Jesus, since the word 'Christian' has been largely divorced from those teachings, and so polluted by fundamentalists that it has come to connote their polar opposite: intolerance, vindictive hatred, and bigotry." -- Philip Stater, Huffington Post

So does anyone go there? If not, what's the point in it existing?
