If the christian religion is true, there would be many innocent, upstanding and ethical people in hell. Whilst all the vile immoral pigs gloat about how right they are.
I'd rather go to hell and share the pain and suffering with fellow atheists and such than to be with vile pigs while watching good people suffer for a finite victemless crime.
I have yet to witness a religious wacko say something smart and reasonable about the beliefs they hold.
Why can't god allow a third option for those who want nothing to do with him, afterlife...the whole religious thing? We come into existance without asking for it, surely it's not asking to much to go back into non-existance once our time is up? Opt out for any afterlife sort of thing? Why not?
Like voting, you can vote either way or you can choose not to vote at all. I'd like to see a theist here to explain why god doesn't allow a third option?
Obviously there already is a third option - Atheism.

Mankind's intelligence walks hand in hand with it's stupidity.
Being an atheist says nothing about your overall intelligence, it just means you don't believe in god. Atheists can be as bright as any scientist and as stupid as any creationist.
You never really know just how stupid someone is, until you've argued with them.
