What happens after death for an atheist?

Psssst... you forgot to add Douglas Adams' "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" to that list!

"He hoped and prayed that there wasn't an afterlife. Then he realized there was a contradiction involved here and merely hoped that there wasn't an afterlife." ~ Douglas AdamsI wish more people would shave with Occam's Razor. Orson Scott Card

Terry48420 Not me.Hell is for those fearful souls who cannot fathom that life holds no heaven or hell.Above us only sky my boy.Enjoy the view,carpe diem and all that.Nobody gets out alive.By the way I believe the bible says even satan will only spend 1000 years in hell.Hell, under our judicial system he would walk off with time served before trial.LOL

That is not what the Bible says...hell is eternal.

And why should we believe the Bible? Its obviously a cheap ploy by unbeleivers to divert worshippers from Odin the Allfather.This message has been edited by DrJones*, 02-02-2005 23:40 AM

Terry48420Hell is in your head not a place to go.Along with heaven it is the result of the fears of men being manipulated for the purpose of other men's agendas.That we are mortal is a prospect we care not to deal with so we invent these myths to comfort and allay our fears and uncertainties,that we might better get through our day.Of course it is a free country where you are allowed to worship and pray and engage in all the trappings of your particular myth but the day will arrive nonetheless.You may face it under the delusion that there is more or ,as in my case,face it for what it is; an end that does no harm.In either event it makes no diference how we choose to live as long as we harm no one in the process.

Why take the chance and not believe? If I'm wrong, then there is no after life and I have lost nothing is this life. If you are wrong, then there is eternal punishment to pay for not believing.This message has been edited by Terry48420, 02-03-2005 07:47 AM

Ah I see, you worship out of fear - You better hope you don't get there and Allah is waiting for you.....

Terry48420 Other than wasting your time with worries that are not necessary,understandings that are not evidenced,trying to convince people of something that does not exist and instigating needless anxieties in others for failing to live up to standards that were never achievable nor required.There is greater loss than you have made bet upon old man.

I've never been able to force what I believe in.Are you saying that your god is incapable of distinguishing between True Believers and those pretending "just in case?"

Ah hello! It's nice to see you all here. As the more perceptive of you have probably realised by now, this is Hell, and I am the Devil, good evening, but you can call me Toby, if you like. We try to keep things informal here, as well as infernal. That's just a little joke of mine. I tell it every time.

​

Now, you're all here for..... Eternity! Ooh, which I hardly need tell you is a heck of a long time, so you'll all get to know each other pretty well by the end.

​

But for now I'm going to have to split you up in groups.

​

Will You Stop Screaming!

​

Thank you.

​

Now, murderers? Murderers over here, please, thank you. Looters and Pillagers over there. Thieves, if you could join them, and Lawyers, you're in that lot too.

​

Fornicators - if you could step forward? My God, there are a lot of you! Could I split you up into Adulterers and the rest? Male adulterers, if you could just form a line in front of that small Guillotine in the corner.

​

Em... The French, are you here? If you would just like to come down here with the Germans. I'm sure you'll have plenty to talk about.

​

Okay, atheists? Atheists over here please. You must be feeling a right bunch of Nitwits. Never mind.

​

And finally, Christians. Christians? Ah, yes, I'm sorry but I'm afraid the Jews were right. If you would come down here, that would be really fine.

​

Okay! Right, well are there any questions? Yes. No, I'm afraid there aren't any toilets. If you read your Bible, you might have seen that it was damnation without relief, so if you did not go before you came, then I'm afraid you're not going to enjoy yourself very much, but then I believe that's the idea.

​

Okay. Well, it's over to you, Adolf! And I'll catch you all later at the barbecue. Bye!

No. God knows the heart of everyone. I did not say to pretend, but to believe. I was only trying to give an atheist something to think about.
