Generally laughter it is absurd to me that they think such punishments would scare me. Telling me I am going to hell is not something I fear as I don't believe in it.

I don't believe in their 'god' or heaven, so why would I believe in their 'satan' or hell? It is an empty threat to me.

I ignore them. In this day and age of space exploration, moonwalks and Dinosaur fossils, only a closed mind can still believe the bible (et al) is anything more than a collection of stories passed down from one generation to the next. Words and meaning were altered to suit the whim of the current interpreter, each time it was re-written.

Sometimes I respond with laughter and sarcasm

I usually tell them the good thing about religious freedom is that they can worship a rock if they want, but I don't have to believe the rock talks.

I tell them that we create heaven and hell right here on earth every moment of our lives, and I let them know in no uncertain terms that their odious, sanctimonious presence was too hellish for me to tolerate---and then I walk away.

Recently a Facebook friend suggested that I had better start buying lots of ice because I was going to need it. I wrote and said "Nah, don't think I will. It's your hell and I don't believe in it. I could not possibly believe in a god who doomed his children to an eternity in hell for non-belief in him or his 'greatness'".

here if any body knew about it, you will be murdered not just threaten, that's why we don't share our opinions in public

I tell them I lived in Vegas for 20 years to acclimate to the heat.

i laugh

Lol

Before I'd just agree with them to fit in...Today I'd ask religious people: "Can you prove your God the Devil and Hell outside of your brain please?" (Then sit back and listen to the ignorant excuses -Lmao!)

THe Church came calling here the other night. Asked if they could come in. I laughed. I said "You, want to come inside of MY house? Ok, this should be interesting."
I led them to my table. There were 3 of them.
They asked if I believed that the bible was the inerrant word of God, and I reminded them that ALL scripture has been said to be divinely inspired.
Not only the Bible, but also the Quran, the Talmud, the Kabbalah, the Vedic scriptures, the I Ching, the Bgata Vita, the Dead Sea Scrolls....
I explained how the Bible had come to be compiled, and the political climate under which the Christian Church had been formed to control the population, and why the some of the scriptures had been included and why some had been left out. I showed mankind's role and motivation in putting it together, and it killed any other argument that they had been trained for. (when I followed religion I went through street ministry training and did a short stint in active duty there.)
When they asked the "if I were to die tonight" question. I explained that my molecules would become a part of the heavens, they excused themselves and left fairly quickly.

I laugh and warn them about another religion's "hell".

smile

I just don't talk, I look at them like, "ARE YOU SERIOUSLY SAYING SOMETHING SO RIDICULOUS?" lol

A smile. Then I bend at the waist, put my hands on my knees, and while staring at the ground and doing the "no gesture" with my head, I make the tsk, tsk, tsk,tsk, tsk sound with tongue against the hard palate. I don't own the gesture, feel free to use it yourself.

I have to be thinking the person believing in what they do and saying, doesn't mean they know what they are thinking and saying has any Truth in it. I'm for the "Truth" and being "Objective" about it. If there is some kind of God that doesn't like my best Honesty in Objective Truth's that I search deeply in my Life. Then I've done the best I can do. I do not care to follow subjective other people's ideas and belief's just to please them.

I often ask them, "What if you're wrong, and it turns out you face Osiris when you die?"

Good think I don't believe in heaven/hell. Also, if heaven is full of people like they are ( closed minded, bigoted religious zealots), then I don't want to go to heaven.

I point at them, then laugh like Nelson on The Simpsons.

This is something that really does offend me. I take it personally and feel as if that person is personally attacking me. My urge to defend myself from those attacks are pretty strong, even when it's just words spoken by a person on the other side of the world. Remember, it's their intent. They intend harm against you in the most personal and painful way they can imagine. It just bothers me when people cast judgement like that.

I tend to giggle a bit, then when they look all offended I just stare them down. I'll also remind them that I don't believe in that fairy tale so it has no effect on me. **I will say I was reading and someone mentioned being offended by it, and I must say, if I really think about what they are saying, it's absolutely awful of them.

I try to see the humor in it.

Laugh and explain I'm not afraid of something that doesn't exist.
