Would you guys say it's likely the case that Ghandi, for example, is in Hell because he was not Christian?
What about people who believe in the same God as us but are not Christian... like Muslims and Jews? And non protestant Christians like Mormons, Catholics, etc?
I'm curious if those people are the same, in your mind, as atheists in terms of the going to Hell belief.
Hell is a theist parameter, not ours. Ghandi isn't anywhere now, outside the memories of the living who report his finite existence.
Atheists don't buy a cosmic Studio 54 after party heaven, nor do we buy a bad si fi B movie "hell" We don't buy either.
I find nothing wrong about my temporary blip. I was not around 4 billion years ago, and I won't exist 5 billion years from now.
It bothers theists of all labels yes. But it does not bother me. I do what I can now, in my finite time. I am not responsible for my fictional pre life, and I will not concern myself with what the universe will do without me in 5 billion years. What matters to me is now.
