The questions I propose to you is:
I want do not want a flood of atheists' comments creating a buffer between this post and theists' comments, so, if you are an atheist, can you please hold off until there is at least one other response? Thanks!
- Am I going to hell? (based off of the sole fact that I am an atheist)
- Why?
- Do I deserve it as much as a rapist/ serial killer/ pedophile/ molester?
- Does a single unrepented/unforgiven sin = Eternal torture?
- Why do other people of your same faith disagree with your answers to those questions.
First of all there is not evidence of hell and most evidence points to mere nothingness after death, so no you aren't going to hell.
Why would you go to hell? You got me. Not even Hitler (to choose an infamous example) deserves eternal punishment. Even inflicting everything he inflicted on anyone else wouldn't come close to eternal torment.
Unless you are a rapist or serial killer etc. no you don't deserve as much punishment as they do, though even they don't deserve hell.
No, no one deserves hell. That's one wrong equals an eternity of ultimate wrong.
They disagree with hell because they have actually applied their moral sense to the question.
If there is a god, I want to believe that there is a god. If there is not a god, I want to believe that there is no god.
