Poll: How can atheists risk hell eternal?
This poll is closed.
I've changed my mind. I'd sacrifice a son, lick God's balls and toss his salad too to avoid hell.

I just don't know which heavon to choose and which hell should most be avoided. I hate any and all risks.

No problem. I've decided to go with another heavon provider, perhaps one that offers more virgins.

It won't be easy but I've decided an eternity of good company in a bad place beats an eternity of poor company in pleasant climate.

RE: How big a risk are we atheists taking by not capitulating to Christian hegemony?
I offer this new thread to find out how it is we atheists can live with the risk of not falling to our knees and accepting Jesus into our hearts as lord and savior.

There have been well over 10,000 named gods in the past so far
So - any religious person has rejected LOTS of them themselves -

In fact - christianity is not a single religion or a single faith - there are now over 40,000 different versions of chirstianity accepted for tax purposes in the USA alone. The largest - Catholic church - as well as many others - state emphatically that the ONLY way to be saved is to belong to their religion - so even christians are taking that chance.

I have to believe that living a good moral and honest life is what defines humans as thinking - and the idea that you must believe in any particular fairy tale is meaningless. I will live on after death - in the DNA i passed on to my kids and they to their kids. After all - if you actually go to an Xtian funeral - they say - ETERNAL rest grant unto them - certainly does not sound like life after death to me

Is it really the same? They cope with it because they are ridiculously arrogant as they usually claim to know 100% that they are right.

I'd say 9 times out of 10, it doesn't even cross their minds, but point well taken.

Dead is dead in my opinion and that's body, spirit and mind (if there separate)
"Religion is regarded by the common people as true, by the wise as false, and by the rulers as useful" - Edward Gibbon (Offen misattributed to Lucius Annaeus Seneca or Seneca the Younger) (Thanks to apophenia for the correction)
'I am driven by two main philosophies:
Know more about the world than I knew yesterday and lessen the suffering of others. You'd be surprised how far that gets you' - Neil deGrasse Tyson
"Sometimes I wonder whether the world is being run by smart people who are putting us on or by imbeciles who really mean it." - Mark Twain
