God, come out, come out wherever you are!

How is that 'godless existence' any different from what I'm experiencing right now?

Besides I don't believe in an after-death-life.
Eh, from your perspective, probably not much. Most Christians would try and claim that you're still living in a world in which God is everywhere, even if you don't see it. They'd claim you'd notice a difference after death. But I'm not going to harp on that because it wouldn't really get us anywhere.

Actually the Biblical hell or 'lake of fire' is described rather graphically and at great detail.
It is described graphically. But a lot of it is metaphor. Read what I wrote in an earlier post about the lake outside Jerusalem.

Dude, worshipping ANYONE for an eternity would suck. Unless you're the god being worshipped of course. Personally I hate the whole notion of reverence. Its silly, degrading and primitive. >.>

Huh. Given God is described as being someone who is supposedly all things good and perfect, I really don't see what would be unenjoyable. But I don't think there's anything either of us can add to this point, so I'm leaving it as is.
