If as an atheist, and I had an ill gotten pass to heaven, I would certainly send 1000 atheists to heaven.

First, I would rather take my chances elsewhere.

Second, if there are 1000 atheists there, it is not heaven for them, and would not be heaven for the rest quite soon.Angel

I can probably still create memes in heaven and have other people to laugh at them.

Also, the graphics in a heaven reality should be much better.

False dilemma based on an incorrect understanding of heaven and hell. Heaven and hell are not places. Each describes the soul's spiritual condition in relationship to god. It's not possible for an evil person to be in a heavenly state. Nor is it possible for a good person of good intent to be in a hellish one.

Please notice I made no reference to religious affiliation or lack thereof.

Yes, but you did made a bunch of claims there as I marked. Please explain your reasoning there. And provide evidence for a 'spiritual condition'. While you're at it, provide evidence that we have a 'soul'.
PS- and define 'soul', 'god', 'heaven' and 'hell' while you're at it.

To the OP, as you're a Muslim, why don't you go to Saudi Arabia where you'll have to walk behind a man(or sit indoors if you have no man, you should see what they do to widows) and get spat on by random strangers, for being female.

They also cut hands off of thieves.

Bingo, go steak some bacon. Jokes on them when you don't have no hands shugga.

Fair play to the theists. Fuck the people that didn't get it right if there were an afterlife Tongue

Personally I think eternity of nothingness is a well deserved rest once I kick the bucket. Smile

Would you give up a guaranteed place in heaven to save the souls of a 1000 atheists?

If you say no then you would not be judged or punished and be allowed into heaven anyway.

Well, friend, there is a saying in Turkish. Every sheep is hanged by it's own leg.
Why would any God accept such a bargain? And what truly is your own soul to be the worth of the soul of another thousand human beings?
