I want to...not die...yet...or...

What?

I do not believe in the lake of fire, therefore I don't need anyone to save me from it.

On second thought, you say that this is a question of our "eternal destinies". If it is our destiny to be saved or punished, then there's really no point in trusting in God because our fates are already sealed.

great, another one

EDIT: I dont believe in a god/ hell

...what, again?

GameSpot isn't the place to convert people, buddy.

this is not gonna end wellMcManus107

And why do you feel that way?

I do not believe in the lake of fire, therefore I don't need to trust in anyone/thing to save me from it.Red-XIII

A lake of fire would be an amazing sight.

By the way, what are all these verses next to the answer? How does one John verse capture the entire answer "other"?

It doesn't matter whether or not you believe in it. If I step out into a busy highway, with an eighteen wheeler about to hit me, saying, "I don't believe in trucks", isn't going to change reality.
And the reality in terms of the lake of fire is this: You will have to face God when you die, and Revelation 20:15 says that, unless your name is written in the Book of Life, you will be cast into the lake of fire.
Only placing your trust in Christ can save you.Crushmaster

Yea, that's not a one-sided poll.

Anyways, don't you know that Hell got Air Conditioning? It's actually pretty nice, I hear. Now, it's just non-stop sinning. And the theme park they have there is supposed to be excellent. Their economy is actually doing pretty great right now, also. Don't you read the news? How could you turn down a place like that?

The problem with that is, the truck is real but theres no proof of hell.

[QUOTE="Red-XIII"]I do not believe in the lake of fire, therefore I don't need to trust in anyone/thing to save me from it.Crushmaster

That's all well and good for you, but that truck I can see, hear and touch. Unlike God, which you have no physical proof of. I think that old quote "Seeing is believing" applies here. It would be pretty damn obvious to two of my senses that I was about to die from said truck, whereas you're asking me to have faith in something invisible and untouchable.

I don't feel obliged to place my trust in an ancient scripture that has no more validity than any other major religions. I will take my chances on being a decent human being over an intangible thing like faith.

Oh but you do have faith. You have faith that God doesn't exist and that His Word is not true. What evidence do you have to support those things that you are putting your faith in?

[QUOTE="Red-XIII"]I do not believe in the lake of fire, therefore I don't need to trust in anyone/thing to save me from it.Crushmaster

there is a major diffrence,there's proof of trucks and your proof of god and of hell is some book that was written ages ago that has not been proved right

what proof do you have of god?Don't mention faith since you're asking us atheists of proof of no god

I won't say where I will end up, its not my decision to make.

[QUOTE="blackregiment"]Oh but you do have faith. You have faith that God doesn't exist and that His Word is not true. What evidence do you have to support those things that you are putting your faith in? foxhound_fox

If someone believes that they do not know that God exists, they would be agnostic.

There is a great deal of evidence that God exists and for the truth of Christianity. It is not blind faith. It just might not be in the format that some people would like.

Well, religion has always taken a back seat in my mind but I'll try to play ball here: If there was some lake of fire, I guess I'd be avoiding it by being the best possible person I can by being charitable and a good samaritan.

Even though I strongly doubt the "lake of fire" claim, I do try to be the best person that I can and I hope that's good enough.

There is no eternal destiny from what I believe, we all die and rot inside a coffin, and I like it that way.tzar3

There are many evidences, in His creation, in His revealed Word, in fulfilled prophecy , in Jesus Christ, and in the power of the Holy Spirit to change the lives of those that put their faith and trust in Christ.

blackregiment

Okay then. What's this evidence? Is it the Bible?

I have some evidence god doesn't exist. Here goes.

There is no god.

RadBooley

I know it might not be in the format that you would like, but it's evidence eh? It's at least as valid as whatever scripture verse you were going to quote.

But I guess everyone needs a mute audience to spread ideas and beliefs. I chose the second and I was the first one to do so, but only for the first part, not the second saying "because I'm a wonderful person" or w/e.

A trick question, huh? Not to mention you are relying on faith to judge our fates. There is nothing you can do that will prepare you for the afterlife, including supposedly believing in Jesus. Indeed, the whole idea of fanatical evangelism is against the ideals Christ preached. He preached tolerance, and the idiots on the television preach intolerance.

But to answer your question, I place my faith in God and God alone. Not some human counterpart, not some trinity, but simply God Almighty. Why should we need a middleman like a prophet to communicate with God?

I'll try to live my life making judgements of what makes a person right or wrong according to my internal moral code. I may repent and convert on my deathbed to be on the safe side.AnObscureName

In a dangerous and treacherous world, how do you know that you will even get a chance to "convert" on your deathbed. We are all just one heartbeat, one breath, one accident, away from eternity. Have you ever considered that?

Yeah, some people call that agnostic, but the original meaning of atheism is maybe the same.11Marcel

"god isn't real""the bible is always right""I have evidence of god,but you need to have faith in him"
