I sometime am very sarcastic and other times I just let it go because I see they are fragile and could be hurt easily by my sarcasm.

Laughter... at least on the inside.

With a simple it doesn't exist or no such place.

Bring it on

If I don't believe in your vengeful god how can I fear him?

Well, something had to have prompted that to cause them to say such things. Depending upon what started it, my response may range from laughter to engaging them in argument over their ideas.

The religion I belonged to didn't believe in hell, however they did believe God would kill non-believers during Armageddon. To that I would say, I'd rather die with the other billions of people in Armageddon than live in "paradise" worshiping a God who would do that.

Laugh at them and say “what type of deity would think up burning people forever, that is insanity and think that over and hope the other God is not the real one’. My exact words. Shuts 90 percent of them up on the spot

I just laugh in their face.. let them know how duped they have been by the brainwashing techniques they ignorantly think to be true. People fear what they do not know.

Incredulity!

I told them that I prefer hell because there is all the fun and laugh.

I tell them that according to their own book, God and his "host" are the only ones who can send someone to heaven or hell, and that by condemning me to one or the other is blasphemy, and also wishing harm upon their neighbor, therefore, they just damned themselves at least twofold.

generally humor or sarcasm

I ask them to show me even just ONE man or woman who has actually gone to any of those places, and provided some kind of proof that they actually exist! No T-shirts? No coffee mugs or key fobs? How does one get there? Is there a special bus, plane, train or automobile to get there? If you're really dead, how would you ever know that you had arrived? If it's not you that goes there, but some intangible part, it's not really you then, right? So then if it's not really you, why would you care? Can you actually feel any pain or pleasure that someone else is experiencing? Does anybody sit up nights worrying about what fate befell their old shoes, belt or socks??
There is absolutely NO logical argument that can be made to support the actual existence of any paradise, heaven, hell or otherwise. If there is one to be made, why has no one made it yet??

I have them read the sections of "Revelation" that describe heaven, and point out how fucking boring that sounds.

To be honest, when threatened with punishment and / or damnation, I simply tell the person damning me that I respect their right to have that belief, but I do not believe it will happen, and to leave it at that.

I say if there is a hell all my friends will be there and if christianity is correct then heaven will be full of murders and rapists who have asked for forgiveness and managed to sneak in. So stay up there with your bible verses and hymns and crusty judgemental people. Ill take hell over heaven any day

I'd tell them the truth and say that I'd already been there. It's a small town in Michigan.

I honestly just laugh usually. It's like if someone came up to basically ANYONE and told them they were going to Azkaban because they didn't believe in Dumbledore...Like, I'm sorry, but I'm going to laugh my ass off at you.

"If you're going to heaven I'd rather be in hell!"

Can't say that I've ever been threatened with that, or it's been so long, I don't recall. I would assume if someone did tell me I was going to hell, I'd probably just chuckle and walk away...

Has not happened, yet.
But I'd be inclined to tell them that saying that is naughty, and so Santa won't bring them presents.
And try to explain that threats of Hell make as much sense to me as my Santa threat does to them.

i discuss them that there is no evidence on the punishment existence.

I laugh at them and politely suggest that they should not be deluding themselves.

I don’t think I’ve ever been threaded with hell, etc., but if I was I’d let them know that I’d rather chill with Satan any day.
