Would You Find Greater Comfort In Death Knowing There Is No God, No Heaven Or Hell?

[RATTER15]

I am currently going through a prostate problem, the hospital appear to be rushing everything which has made me a little concerned, I wont lie.

When these things come along I suppose we do all ponder the thoughts of our death.
As an atheist I have nothing to fear in death, the end is the end, I will be no more, end of, the parrot is deceased etc.

However! if I was a believer I would have to consider, would I go to heaven or hell?
I know a great many Christians as most of us do. Many of them are very pleasant and a fair few are vile untrustworthy and truly unpleasant people. Will they consider their place after death I wonder. Of course, most religious people feel they are going to meet up with dead friends, loved ones and relatives etc, have they ever considered that many of their loved ones may have gone to hell!
I think If I did believe in heaven or hell, it could be a very worrying time, whilst I have been a fairly decent person in my adult years, I dont know it that would make me worthy of a place in heaven?
What are your thoughts. Personally i'm glad as hell I dont believe in such tripe!!

Daydreaming? Fair enough, but hardly convincing.

Don't get so angry yourself then at those that challenge you!!
Constantly ridiculing non believers, calling those that disagree with you 'God haters' etc
You just come across as a street preacher at times...one of those whom everyone ignores at best. Theres no debate/interaction with you, just you posting vids like you don't have a mind of your own. Its kind of sad in a way.

[ummmm]

Theland - from much of what you post on here you haven't got peace, far from it.

[ummmm]

He posts plenty of hatred, Nailit.

[Theland]

No I don't. Examples? I never post hate. How can I as I have no hate in me, never mind on a silly site like this, as if it makes any difference?
Ridiculous.
Think again.
And again.
And again.
Got it now?

[ummmm]

Here's a comment you made on pro-choice. It's late and I can't be bothered to search at the moment.

That is not an example of hatred but a very uncomfortable encounter with the factual events of abortion. I did not write the script. Think again. No hatred from me.

[Mozz71]

Theland, your extreme Islamophobia (of which you admitted to) is hateful, is it not?

[ummmm]

Theland - People have often mentioned their shock at how unchristian some of your responses are.

[Theland]

Mozz - I hate evil.

[Theland]

Ummmm - I care not what "people" say or think, I answer to God not, "people."

We'll find out when we die, won't we!

[mibn2cweus]

I find it tragic that so many (let alone anyone) have experienced and realised so little of meaning and value in having lived their lives that they would feel the need to resort to fantasising about what lies ahead for them in death.

[waterboatman]

Not everyone has a happy life.

[pixie374]

What was God's answer, theland?
I don't think we will find out when we die, boaty. Difficult to know anything without consciousness:-)

[waterboatman]

Spot on pix! ;o}

[mibn2cweus]

//Not everyone has a happy life.//
I have to wonder how much of that unhappiness is due to the failure to recognise or even consider a causal relationship.

Theland, //Naomi Best Answer - "I don't know."
Wow that speaks volumes. //

You missed a bit ... quite a substantial bit.

[vulcan42]

theland, you don't even know yourself, how can you know God?

" No I don't. Examples? I never post hate. How can I as I have no hate in me, "
" Mozz - I hate evil."

Ratter if they are rushing it is more likely due to the cancer waiting times targets.
If I believed for one minute there was life after death and a chance to be with Dave I'd be long gone.
