I say "If you want to have a discussion about religion. One where we are not trying to prove each other wrong but trying to understand each other then I am in. If you want to force your belief down my throat I have no interest in that conversation or continuing to acknowledge your presences."

If I don't believe, I don't have a fear and simply ask a question that where is God, the world is in need now.
21st century.

I simply say that I could never believe in a god that would punish one for eternity! Now who is evil??? So they "say" grace, peace, empathy, love, compassion for others comes from within a person, unfortunately everyone is not nice, however what a boring world it would be if we were all the same!!! Very simply just treat others how you yourself would like to be treated and never feel that you (have to) defend your personal beliefs and feeling. Also, who are you or I to judge anyone? Pat F.

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

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

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

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'".

Sometimes I respond with laughter and sarcasm

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.

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.

Funny thing is the only time this has ever happen to me personally was when I was a "Christian" and we did not agree on a point. So while I was never inclined to confront or defend my eternal soul I always found it humorous. Most of my family is very religious very few are what I consider spiritual so I tend to not engage in any topic of a religious nature because I "love " them and respect their views. I can only change myself and it would be pointless to try an change them. My truth and journey is mine I strive to be the best person I can be and a better person then I was yesterday.

I had a client once tell me that he was sorry to say, but he believed I was going to go to hell for not believing. I simply asked him if he were going to be going to Heaven. He answered "Yes, I believe so." So, I said, "I guess I'll see you there because THAT would be my hell."

I just say there is no hell, so I don't fear it. Which usually leads to them saying that there is, and me saying no, science has proven there is no god, so there is no hell.

Your carrot that you entice me with says that God love me unconditionally...even my sins as long as I repent. You say he loves me "1,000 times 1,000" I was quoted once. So if God loves me so much why would be punish me so harshly and for infinity to burn in the fires of hell, just because I don't believe in Him? Surely he knows (or should) that I am fallable,could make a mistake. Doesn't he take that into consideration? NO??? What kind on MONSTER do you believe in anyway!!! How about all the near-mentally inferior people? He makes them burn in hell because maybe, they made a mistake and don't believe in Him?? Your God sounds very very small and unforgiving to me.

"I'm sorry to disappoint you, but your dillusions do not have the power to send me to a non-existant place after my death."

I tell them no one here gets out alive so we'll see who's right!

Reality has punished me enough. You don't scare me! Lol.

Laugh and walk. Walk. And laugh.

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

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.

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

I laugh and tel them to bring it on.

Laughter. laughter solves a lot of my life problems

I laugh at them.

I tell them im already there
