I was a christian the majority of my life. I think I know what your going through Jextin.

I'm guessing your fear of dying is in regards to what's in the afterlife? That is the power of brainwashing. It is embedded deep, and difficult to shake, I know. FEAR is religions main source of power hon. Wish I could say something to take that away from you. Undecided

Knowing what I do now, I wouldn't want to spend a day, much less a fucking eternity with a cruel and egotistical being.

Sometimes sure. It's never been as an existential angst sort of thing though.

If you know god is false, the you know it. But that doesn't solve the problem of death. If not death itself, most people are afraid of dying. That's normal. But think about it a moment. Death is simply lack of existence. Think about how long you didn't exist before you were born. Was it bad?
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.

but i still cant help wonder, what if christians are right??

By definition Christians can't be right because they worship an entity who told his disciples to stay away from Samaritians and Gentiles and that he had only been sent to the Jews. Therefore it's silly for non-Jews to worship him because his message wasn't for them.

According to the Christians' own guidebook, not one Christian alive today would pass muster to go to heaven. Re-read the Sermon on the Mount and don't waste any more time worrying about it.

Yeah I do. But I usually chase it away with logic. If God was to judge us for our beliefs; he'll then have strong evidences and charges against us. Which is not the case cause we don't have a clue about any religion's accuracy. So I don't think it's a useful question to think about

RE: Do you ever wonder if the christians are right?
If you became an atheist recently (and by recently it can range from 1 month to 2 years) you'll be having a species of 'syndrome' that happens frequently because letting go something you have always believed is though and hard to do. When I quit Christianity, I still was a kind of deist with some beliefs in a creator, it was merely wishful thinking. With time you'll start to think about that question less times until you quit giving a shit about it.

What if Christians are right? They could be. As I usually say, atheism and lack of evidence don't prove any religion wrong. However they make theism/religion highly unlikely, the probability of christians (and by the way, I don't know why you only mention christians, you forgot the other big four religion worldwide) being right is a lot lower than the one of atheists being right (and we are).

It's christians who should be thinking 'what if atheists are right?'
