I believe you will spend eternity in Hell because you rejected Jesus. Of course, I base that on the Bible, so my reasoning means nothing to you I'm sure.

I'll watch the devil drive the trident Moderator cut: edit due to content a repetitive exercise, from the comfort of my La-Z-Boy recliner in heaven, a bag of crinkle-cut, kettle cooked, slightly peppered "potatoe" chips in my hand and Miranda Kerr (in lingerie only) on my lap

Atheists will be resurrected as 30 YO with 60 YO knowledge and the libido of an 18 year old.

We will be taken to a special room full of the opposite sex (or same sex if you are that way inclined) and there will have fun dancing and making merry and other stuff wink wink.

We will view on huge 3D plasma screens the xians in their part of heaven worshiping 24/7 the deity they've created in their own minds.

Hey but that is my fantasy, I too can make up crap as I go along, see how easy it is.

In reality, fertilizer/wormfood or ashes. For all it will be "Oh noez, I'm dead

It would be about time I get to sleep for all eternity. I don't get enough as it is right now!

Only if Jesus Christ is the worlds biggest Liar and Fraud , only if the 300 narrow fulfilled predictions about him coming to earth made hundreds of years prior are untrue, only if the historical evidence is untrue about Jesus, only if all the archeological finds regarding the places that Jesus visited are untrue, and only if all the modern scientific evidences for the personal theistic God of the Bible are untrue ....will atheists not have everlasting regret for pretending a Creator isnt required (or wanted). Out of complete fairness , will the Creator simply grant atheists what they always wanted while on earth : Distance from God .

Other. It depends upon their karma.
For you people who get excited by the thought of someone burning in hell, do you experience an "Armageddogasm?"

You're just hostile. For the record, there are times I can be hostile. Not always. So, chill pill.
No I am not hostile, you started the attack, I am merely responding in kind. My friends and sometimes my opponents can banter with me and I will take it with a pinch of salt, you however are neither friend nor opponent, you are just a troll.

We ,as human always wish the worst for others...I guess that's our nature at heart. But Jesus is nothing like us human beings, he dies to save all mankind...that is love and sacrifice. I believe that Jesus comes to all those who have not turned to him yet; yes even at the very last moment of your last breath. He will offer himself to those who do not believe but again you still have free will at that point also. So you will choose to believe or not in his presence..the final decision will be yours.

I voted "other" because nothing can happen to you if you're dead and therefore you don't have a fate.

Wrong. Only takes those recounting his story to lie, or to exaggerate.

Wrong. Again, has little to do with Jesus and more to do with the reliability of those sources. Considering no one wrote down much of anything during the actual life of Jesus, it's not so illogical to think that there is a fallacy in the message.

Wrong. There actually isn't much historical evidence to supply us that the Bible holds the key to divine truth. Did a man named Jesus exist? Yes. Did places exist? Of course - the authors of the Bible existed in places they knew to exist. This is silliness.

Again, this doesn't require much thought or effort, nor does it prove much. It's like if I wrote a book now prophesying and making all sorts of claims now. 2,000 years later you recover the book and notice I mention that Akron, Ohio existed. You research and find Akron, Ohio. Archaelogical gold! My message must all be true now!

Please expound on this. What scientific evidence for theism exist? If so, why do most scientists, archaelogists, anthropologists and chemists reject theism?
