Mine is simple. how can you threaten me with hell when I don't believe in it

I smile and say "most scientists will go there and they will figure out a way to install air conditioning so we do not have to roast.

"It has been estimated that Human Beings have conceived roughly 3,000 major deities in our relatively short existence. I don't believe in any of them so, yes, that does make me 100% atheist. But you only believe in one of them ... so you're like 99.99785% atheist yourself."

I don't worry. As Douglas Adams once wrote, all the priests will be closest to the fire.

Now I either laugh or tell them there is no such thing. I'm getting sassy in my old age.

Laugh! What a load of old B****cks.

Laugh and walk. Walk. And laugh.

Save it for the weak minded sheeple

I ask them what evidence they have that these places exist at all.

I was once told I would be going to Hell because I had taken communion and wasn't a baptised Catholic. I just replied that I didn't believe in it so that was highly unlikely.

I tell them if Satan exists, bring it on and hold my arms open wide. I've seen a couple step back. Or I just laugh at them.

You realize you're threatening me with something that doesn't exist, don't you? You might as well threaten to punch me in the aura and poke out my chakras.

Then again, if your Hell and Heaven did exist, I can't think of a torture that would be worse than being surrounded by people like you.

Meh. Heaven and Hell are the same thing, aren't they?

I tell them I'll meet them there Hippocrates are what they are..

We Jews all know “ where headed for hell” according to unnamed Christian sects or denominations

I would say to them it was a risk i was prepared to take as Hell doesn’t exist. Neither, I would point out is there a heaven either, so their idea of being rewarded by going there was also delusional.

I start laughing, raise my arms, and say "If god exists, let him strike me dead now". Been doing that for 40 years.

Laugh. As them to prove it.

You have to ask yourself just what such a place was created for. What does their supreme bean gain from having a place where people/souls are tortured for all eternity? If there's no escape from it, it's certainly not for reforming anyone. This God person has got to be one seriously screwed-up mental case to get so much pleasure from inflicting so much pain and torment on others, even if he's delegated the actual torturing to others so it seems like his hands are clean. But isn't he the one that judges who ends up in which place? Or did he at least spell out the guidelines to his delegates that take care of that chore for him?

Eternal torture for using his name incorrectly, or for sleeping with someone before you marry them. That's like cutting your child's arm off because they forgot to take the trash out one time - the punishment is so many orders of magnitude worse than the offense. I consider that a far greater crime than anything any human has done in the entire time there have been humans. The worse the punishment, the less their god deserves to be obeyed or respected.

Confronted with that, they just might start to realize that everything in their religion is based on scaring people into doing what they're told.

I tell them that that is where all the fun people go...

Heaven is the reward, hell is the punishment so the concept of heaven and hell are about religion's attempt at control. People that threaten with religious punishment are trying to control with fear. My response is very simple, Your beliefs are your beliefs, mine are mine.

Shrug of the shoulders "Not me mate"

Laughter is the best medicine.

Ignore

I assume they are projecting because they are dirty little freaks.
