[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Well if you are right that there is no God & no Heaven, believers lose nothing. However, if we are right that there IS a God & Heaven, you'd be in big trouble. [/quote]
If we atheists are right, then all of us win by having the eternal peace of nothingness rather than a boring eternity in Heaven or a frightful eternity in Hell.[/quote]

Nah. If a person truly believes in God and Heaven, chances are they are not going to Hell. Heaven has never been described by anyone as "boring" and I don't think I have ever heard of "nothingness" equated with peace. Peace is a positive affect and nothingness is the absence of positive or negative. And you didn't answer the question. What if there IS a God and a Heaven? [/quote]

Not PP, but I can answer.

If there is a God in heaven, and he is the angry hell-creating God that Christian conservatives believe in, then I don't want any part of him or his heaven. I will gladly join the rebellious angels in their war.  That guy is a monster.

If there is a God in heaven and he is not the angry hell-creating monster, then he will understand my lack of belief. He will also look to my over-all behavior, not my professed faith.  If the merciful God is true, he understands that atheism is a mistake and like other mistakes, he will forgive it.

I don't think it's a mistake, though. [/quote]
