I give the simple, short answer.... if I am wrong , than that fucker is going to have a lot to answer for when I get there....

I know many people who are absolutely convinced that they will go to heaven. If I had to spend eternity with most of them I think I'd be in Hell.

I will be very surprised.

Just b/c I end up being wrong, doesn't necessarily mean that Christians got it right. What if the Jews are right, Jesus is a phony, not the Messiah...and Yahweh sends you to hell for worshiping a false god? What if the Muslims are right, still the same god of Abraham, Issac, and Joshua...but you worshiped Jesus, so to the eternal human BBQ for you! What if there is a god who's named Odin, or Zeus, or Osiris? How do you know Protestant Christianity is right and not Orthodox, Catholic, Restorationism or Nontrinitarianism (Mormon or Jehovah Witness)? How do you know there is a god and ALL our religions didn't get it completely wrong?

Even if some proof of a god can be provided, there is still a huge burden of proof left to be addressed that your interpretation is 100% correct and infallible to 1) prove he/she/it made a hell and 2) what do I have to do to avoid it. Following your religion just because mommy and daddy told you too, when you have never practiced any others to see if they better miracles and revelations, isn't just putting all your eggs in one basket. It seeing the other baskets, and without any reasoning or experimentation, determining they won't hold your eggs b/c they aren't real baskets to begin with.

Although I must say, most religious people I meet are 100% basket cases!

Then I would hope he hasn't got such a fragile ego that he would understand those who doubt his existence.

What if they are wrong and realize they lived their lives in a closet to sacrifice their fun,
But then again, I know they are wrong and the what if is just wtf

Oops

Actually, I don't really care. I do NOT want to spend an eternity with those idiots.

That depends. Which god?

I always say. What if you are wrong and Hindus are right or the buddhist maybe the Greeks were right. With that logic there are over 3000 gods that man have invented you better get to praying to all of them to cover your ass

if I'm wrong and there's a God I should just be judged on my actions not what I believe to be true. And let's face it I'm going to hell in every religion.

Several things come to mind starting with the concept of a god to begin with there are 507 different "gods" worshipped in this world today and thousands worshipped since the beginning of time. With so many to choose from which one is the right one to "pray" to is it the Catholic, Church of England, Buddha, Hindu, the trees, the sun there is a tribe on an island in the South Pacific that prays to a B-52 Bomber. But if I was an all powerful, all knowing, all merciful "god" I would certainly do away with the 506 others. Now this invisible man or being sees everything we do and hears everything we say and if we disobey any of his 10 "rules" he will condemn us to eternal fire, suffering, horrors, pain. But he loves us and needs money (thank you George Carlin). Another thing if the bible is the word of "god" what gave man the right to change it, Hmmm that don't make sense the Bible has been transcribed, rewritten, abridged, thousands of time depending who was king, pope, leader ETC.. it was originally written down by scribes hundreds of scribes and if one of them didn't copy it exactly as the original was written then every copy after that was wrong. BTW the original language of the bible was Aramaic (since that was the common language of the Middle East at the time) which was translated into Greek (but some Aramaic words did not translate so they were eliminated) then from Greek to Latin and again the same translation problem incompatible languages. and the same problems occurred when later the Greek or Latin books were translated into the different languages of the lands. But if there is a "god" My Bad looks like I made a mistake Like Bill Maher said well what do you know I was wrong

When I die and if I find out that god exists he'll probably say " Steve I know you didn't believe in me but come on in anyway ".

I just point out that S/He is supposed to be pretty big on forgiveness, so I'll probably be let off the hook.

I don't believe in a heaven OR a hell. (Coincidentally while I was a Christian attending a number of different denomination's churches many of them insisted there was a heaven but no hell.) I also don't believe in an anthropomorphic deity. However, IF there was, I would not believe in a petty, tyrranical, punitive god. If god is supposed to be a model for morality then, as far as I'm concerned, there can't be a hell. As a seriously flawed human being I could not send people to the kind of hell describe in th bible or by Dante. If I can't, then a 'good' god should be utterly incapable of doing so. And to go one further, I see no reason why an anthropomorphic deity should represent the male rather than the female (as it was in the earliest religions).

If I survive after death then I will also be supernatural so I'll stir up a supernatural revolution and kick his supernatural ass and hold him to account for all the shit he's caused to life on the planet I love.

Failing that, at least I'll be bloody warm. It's freezing here tonight.

Something else you could ask them is What if your right and you found out that the god you worshipped, dedicated your whole life to, come to find out it wass a god but not the one you worshipped and he also is a jealous god and because they didn't worship him exclusively I guess they go to hell as well

I been Wrong before.

Friends of mine often beg me to hedge my bets in case there really is a hell, I have had people crying , trying to get me to believe in a god . I rather think that 'brown bread' really is 'dead ' and I am not going to reincarnate as then, what would be the point of births?We 'd be pretty overcrowded- I know I am not being logical I am just firing off - But I truly don't fear death, bring it on!

There's no evidence of any god. Don't worry about it.

If there is God, he/she/it has a lot to answer for.

I'm a Buddhist. So I know exactly what to do if I find myself in Hell. That is -- find someone carrying a big rock and say, "Let me carry that rock for you today, while you sit down and take a rest." Hell is a state of mind, not a physical location. Similarly, God is a projection of the human mind. Those qualities that we attribute to a god, love, peace, happiness, justice, truth, health, etc are qualities that we can nurture in our own minds.

If there is A God or Multiple Gods, I can explain to them that I had not found sufficient evidence to support belief in their existence, nor did anyone heed my pleas to communicate or help.

Additionally, if there is a single God who is omniscient, then I cannot have free will and only performed the functions I was given. I was also born with a condition known as Oppositional Defiance Disorder, or in layman's terms an innate distrust, distain, and rebelliousness towards authority, and I was also born with a heavy inclination towards logic and naturaistic definitions. Thus again, my programming is such that I'd be an atheist for any reason, exept for evidence or divine revelation.

I did have a crisis of faith in my youth and in looking at other religions, sitting in their places or worship and monitoring them, reading their scriptures, and seeing how their faithful act, I was also convinced in a lack of belief of any gods for another reason. A God who commands what people cannot do, yet does nothing but sit idly by while they kidnap, rape, murder, destroy literature and art, and waits until they die to punish them eternally, is not a loving parent, but a veangful judge, jury, and executioner. If I was to believe the faithful that God revealed himself to some, but not others, and only in uncorroborated, or contradictorily corroborated events, then God dispays a lack of wisdom, morality, or foresight that would still disprove the existence of any god. It would only prove there is someone with supernatural powers, and their lack of doing so in modern times, would show us evidence that they no longer live.

Also, my living a good and moral life for the sake or me wanting to be a positive influence on this world, and helping people through honestly, compassion, and lawfulness should be enough to it me in anyone's good graces, and if it isn't enough, then they aren't morally worthy of my consideration either. I'd probably spend eternity attempting to overthrow them. I couldn't suffer eternity with an immoral monster in charge, no matter how good I am. In fact, it would be my inherent goodness that would drive me to betray an immoral god or gods.

So to summarize, my lack of belief in any gods is emotional, physical, logical, moral, genetic, and truthful. If I'm wrong, then I only take responsibility for what I've done, and not predetermined data I have no control over. Same as if you got to an afterlife and entrance to the next step was barred because you're a natural blonde, or left handed.

Great.. then i can send more thoughts and prayers!!

Eric ensures there is no god.

Depending on MY mood, i ignore,laugh, roll my eyes, and sometimes I say something..
