All I am saying is that if someone I deeply love is not there then I would want to be with them, to hell with my morals they are nothing to do with it, they are nothing compared to the righteoussness of God.
Umm, that's too many subjects in one sentence. So you would rather be with humans you love than with God?

It's a shame you did not get what I was trying to say, I may indeed go to hell or heaven as I believe both are real, the question is if I can forget my morals and believe in God's son rather than perish why can't you.
I may not have gotten it yet but I really do want to.
If I believed Jesus was God's son then following him would not involve forgetting my morals. You're losing me again....

Ask yourself 'what if he is real, why didn't I just believe on his name?it didn't cost me anything?is it worth eternity ?
Oooh, Pascal's Wager! This, at least, I recognize, understand, and can answer. The problem is that the "why not believe" proposition doesn't work. First of all, many different religions all claim believers in the others will go to hell. Statistically, my chance of picking the right one is almost nil. Second, if the afterlife does not exist as you say, there IS a cost. I will waste a good deal of this life (which without a doubt does exist) preparing for nothing. The Atheist's Wager says that I'm better off doing some good in the present.
