Be honest, am I going to hell for "my" atheism?

If death is the end of your existence, it must by definition be peaceful, because you are no longer capable of conscious thought. This is backed up by our sum understanding of the way the brain works. People who suffer brain damage and/or lobotomies rarely resemble the person they were before. You usually do not dream when under general anaesthetic and are not aware of the passage of time. You effectively do not exist as a conscious entity during that time.
I find it hilarious that you say others have 'limited knowledge' when you derive your entire belief system of life, the universe and everything from a 2000 year old, poorly translated and retranslated collection of stories that make such fantastical claims like the flood myth and god-channeling burning bushes.

I was trying to demonstrate that you believe something that you have no proof for.  Also, we were the debating traits of the christian God, who is omnipotent.  In that context, he is all-knowing and we have only limited knowledge.  I admit that I have limited knowledge.  I base my belief in God and the supernatural in the words of the bible, but I base much of my understanding of the natural world in the discoveries of science and my physical senses.
I believe something in which there is an enormous amount of research, evidence and common bloody sense to vouch for it. It has been consistently shown that only an intact, healthy and whole brain can sustain a consciousness. In situations where the brain is altered, affected or shut down temporarily, you have no conscious thought and are not aware of anything, or your very perception of the world is distorted and you change as a person entirely. Now extrapolate and apply that to permanent brain death. You cease having the ability to be aware of anything. That is simple logic. I am distressed you cannot follow it.
Extremely shaky recollections of near-death experiences - which are experienced by definition by people whose brains stop working for a bit - aside, there is zero evidence to support your claim.

Why do you believe God is omnipotent? Because he told you? Because the magic book said so?
