What do you believe is the fate of atheists after death? (hell, bible)

["Progressive" Liberal]

As an atheist who loves to have a intellectually stimulating debate with anyone who disagrees with me, I often get told (verbal debates with Christians I know, not on good ole CD ) "you're going to hell" and "You will regret being an atheist one day" or something in those respects. I've always pondered the statistics of Christians who think atheists in particular go to hell, considering our beliefs directly contradict to each other more than say Judaism or Hinduism compared to Christianity. So, what do you believe will happen to atheists after death?

It is not a pretty picture.

We'll probably rot in the ground forever (or, until the Earth is destroyed by human means or the sun).

But, if I had it my way, we'd all take a cosmic trip to other galaxies (kind of like in star trek but better), singing "99 bottles of beer on the wall, 99 bottles of beer!" as we discover "A world we've never seen! To infinity and beyond!"

But hey, that's just my hunch. I believe it'd be pretty kick ass.

As long as I've lived a good life, helped my fellow man and respected the earth that we walk upon .. I think I should be ok.

On the basis of all evidence, we die, and that's it. If there is anything else, such as an afterlife, it's like birth and death. It's for all of us, not just those who pray to the 'right god'.

I think the dead are dead and know nothing

I believe there will be a ressurection of the just and the unjust

I believe the unjust will be judged in front of the white throne and die a second death

at the end, I think also the unjust will raise from (second) death to take part in the olam haba, as God is the savior of all men as the bible says (1. Tim 4:10)

voted "other" just so I could see the results.

Dead is dead. No brain activity means no consciousness. Feed the cycle.

After all, we're also told there's a lot of different, proven and established god-figures here. They are either all correctly described, and the heavens are run by some sort of majority-wins annual-vote deity counsel, or there's really none, and we get to zip around the etherial universe as we see fit.

I like the later!

(Likely, there's just nothing at all.. As Aerequipa says; based on the evidence)

I vote life ever lasting, since all the elements in our decaying bodies will go on to form minerals that will in turn renew life on our planet (well at least if you don't spend goozillion dollars on some stupid crypt).
