Two babies discussion.

Actual belief in an afterlife only matters if there is some ridiculous monstrous judging machine deciding who is and isn't worthy of particular after lifes based on his random criteria that he utterly failed to communicate to sane people.

Given any other circumstance, atheists get the same deal as everyone else.

And if there is some judge-athon, then christians have put all their money on one particular scenario, with one type of "God", assuming also that he isn't going to just change his mind, and that his message got through accurately (which it blatantly did not).

And worse than that, there is an infinite number of other possible judge maniacs that could be in charge. So you've picked one out of infinity chance of being right, based on a story book. So in reality, you have the same probability as atheists have of getting any given afterlife.

Closed minded does not mean refusing to accept any old drivel anyone tells you.

It means refusing to ever reconsider your position even when the huge problems with it are pointed out. You know, like theists.
