Being burned by fire for eternity sounds good to you?

This has always influenced me. I'm not saying I'm like this guy, but I like to drink, and I don't think that's permitted in Heaven.

I don't think heaven involves wearing wings or playing a harp. That's a popular myth, which I seriously doubt is at all accurate. I believe heaven is a place without pain or fear or death and is a place of perfect love, joy and peace. That is what is good about it.

This is correct.

There's no proof such a place exists, no-one has ever come back to tell us if it does or not.

BEST TO LIVE YOUR LIFE WELL IN THIS WORLD, because there MAY NOT EVEN BE AN AFTERLIFE AT ALL.

Atheists can kiss my Left Behind.

I don’t believe in heaven and I consider myself a realist.
You and your labels (Athiests) can kiss my ass.

Good luck in your little atheist phase.

I consider myself a realist.

Most people do and most of them are wrong.

Bingo. OP's critique of the notion of Heaven comes from a misguided assessment of what Heaven is supposed to be.

It's like when ppl argue against the concept of God because they don't have proof. Someone once said to me "well if God emerged from the clouds right now and declared himself, I would believe it". It's like uhh that might not be God. Could just be an Engineer lol. Your critique of Heaven, and of God is based on a fundamental misunderstanding.

I think you also get first dibs on the latest version of the PlayStation coming out.

I don't care about PlayStation. I tried the first one back in 1997, hated it. I prefer desktop PCs.

It's sad to me that people think like you and seem to be destined to go to Hell where they will be tortured and in excruciating pain for all eternity. The Devil has controlled you and is controlling every nonbeliever. He has fooled all of them into thinking Hell will be great place where you get to do whatever you want for all eternity. When it will be agonizing pain for all eternity. Also as far as I'm concerned the only way you could prove God doesn't exist is with a time machine. In some ways I wish I could take you and all nonbelievers back to 6billion years ago so I could prove to you God exists.

But then knowing some of you, even if you went back that far in time and saw God, you would insist we never went back in time and that it was just a coincidence we both had the same dream. I guess a lot of you are just meant to go to Hell cause there's nothing anyone could say to convince you otherwise.

GGO8, you DO know that there are hundreds of religions in the world, right? Not just your brand of Christianity. I like to think they have more uplifting and hopeful versions of an afterlife (if an "afterlife" exists at all) than the one offered by your bleak binary choice of "God" vs "Satan". Face it, GGO8, Christianity and the Bible as it is now is severely OUTDATED and just a form of CONTROL. Be free of it, become ATHEIST.

I will never become an atheist! I'd rather die than become one! Not kidding! If you put a gun to my head and threatened to blow me away unless I became an atheist, I'd willingly die.

Good for you. Don’t let any asshole shake your faith.

It’s not that the devil has fooled them into thinking Hell is great, he fooled them into thinking it doesn’t exist.

What on earth makes you think that's what heaven is about.

I particularly like the idea of wearing wings. Everyone who hasn't really read the Bible thinks everyone dies and gets wings. Is that nonsense because of "It's a Wonderful Life"?

That's what Bert and Ernie said, but they may have their own problems getting to Heaven.
