If the god of creation chooses to damn most of the atheists on this board, it's his loss. For the most part, we are a decent, empathetic, charitable, hard-working group of people. If we're not whom he wants in his kingdom, I'll pass on being included.
Really you would pass on a life that is going to be so good it's not describable in any way man could understand. It seems to me the people who claim to be intelligent and want to learn would want to spend an eternity learning about the eternal God, eternal as in his being is so vast we can't ever learn everything about God. You would trade this opportunity to spend an eternity suffering in hell, no chance of learning anything new ever, I'm not saying hell is a fire and brimstone place, it's a place of regret and hate beyond belief.
Let me ask you this have you ever studied the Bible to find out what it truly holds and what it tells us about the eternal God of creation?

GC, if you send me a hundred bucks, I guarantee you a life that is going to be so good it's indescribable. Are you going to send me the money? If not, why not? I should add that if you don't, your home will blow up killing you and your loved ones.
I know your question wasn't addressed to me, but since it's the kind of thing you ask: I read the Bible cover-to-cover twice, starting with the KJV and then The Living Bible. I honestly couldn't say how many times I've read Genesis and the Gospels and Acts. Having done so has a lot to do with why I'm an atheist today.
I'm not anti-Christian. I'm anti-stupid.
