That's for God to decide.

*yawns* They won't be able to prove it. Just the same as you won't be able to prove God doesn't exist.

Not really. God will always exist to those who believe in him. Personally, I don't believe in God (Believing in God to me is sort of animal-like; we control our own destinies and fates and there is nothing beyond death) but those who do...well, they aren't going to stop for Hawking, are they? And Hawking isn't neccessarily going to discover the beginning. There are many other brilliant scientists out there working or working with Hawking to discover the origins of the universe.

There is no exception. The only ones who will make it to heaven without salvation are ones who are not able to understand or comprehend the things about God. Those who can understand are held accountable. We can know that a God exists without being told about Him because of nature, conscience, and history.If you want to learn more on this, read BIBLE DOCTRINES FOR TODAY from the A BEKA BOOK company. This particular subject can be found on pg.89 - 94. Rene Descartes, the Father of modern philosophy, stated a basic proposition: "I think, therefore I am". In the DISCOURSE ON METHOD he wrote and develops his proof for the existence of God. (You don't have to believe what he wrote.Every Christian needs to form their own interpretation of the Bible because no one will ever know if another person is right in their interpretation of the Bible.)

becuase maybe the person has never seen the lord's miracles, or they think God has abandoned them or they are just uptight people.

yes,you are right the one who create the Sun can also Create the Hell...i feel pity and really so sad for the people who laugh at you....of course we must not believe in God just because we are afraid of Hell...but human beings have a lot of differences..there are sort of people you can not stop them of doings a bad thing except if you show them the punishment.....this is why there are prisons .we can see a lot of people in our life do not do crimes just they afraid of going to prison not because crimes are bad....but the not Smart bad people who insist on doing crimes even they know they could go to the prisons but they just laugh at...so the Prisons in all the countries are full of these sort of people..and for that too the Hell will be full of people who laugh at....God help them with his mercy .....\nand at the end like you said if these people have blind hearts to find God...they should think of it by mathematical mind (probability of existence theory) if there are 0.0000001% Hell and God are true ..what they will do?so it i prefer to believe in God than find nothing, than to not believe in God and find Hell.

I want to convince  people that God doesn't exist for the same reason Christians try to convince people he does exist.  Christians think that if they can convice some one that the Bible is true, then that person will go to heaven when they die.  I think that if I can convince people to stop deluding themselves about God, then we could put aside our differences and Christian, Muslim and Buddhist could work together to make Earth a paradise.

If God does not exist, how does that for one second make my life a lie?  If I found out that God did not exist, I would not feel stupid or tricked.  I would feel disappointed, but I think I'd be rather philosophical about it.  After all, I LIKE the life I lead.  It's not as though I suffer through it because I'm afraid of hell, and if I found out that God didn't exist, I don't think I would live all too much differently.  Unless you're suggesting that loving people and helping others has no merit?  You say that at least in hell you'd be surrounded by nice people, but try reading through your question again.  There's nothing nice in that.  Quite frankly, you're giving good atheists a bad name.

No one because there is no hell.  I know this because no religion teaches hell except modern Christianity.  Gnostics do not believe in hell, but instead reincarnation and rebirth.

No, I don't.\n\nI am not God, the searcher of human hearts and the ultimate judge of all people. So I refrain from even pretending to know where anyone--including myself--will spend eternity. I am familiar with God's main requirement for entry into heaven--but it is in the other points of Christian theology that I am uncertain...and rightfully so.\n\nIf other Christians are saying literally, "You are [or someone else is] going to Hell," they are self-righteous and prideful, and God will bring them to account as well. How, only he knows--but rest assured that such an offense, the one of imagining oneself sitting on God's throne, will not be overlooked by the almighty.

nope. if hell DOES exist then god is not all loving. if god i no lal loving then he isnt worthy of the title "god".

Like the people in an unknown Pigmy tribe??  \n\nGod will judge their hearts.. I don't think He would throw anyone away because they were never taught.\n\nGod is too merciful and loving for that.\n\nNow, if someone were exposed to Jesus , and they denied the Lord, then that's a different story. Yes, according to the Bible, they would go to hell. :o(

The Bible says judge not lest ye be judged. And God makes the ultimate decisions regarding us going to Heaven or Hell. And they are both very real places. God says we work out our own salvation with fear and with trembling... but if you aren't living according the WHOLE gospel then the Bible does say one is on the path to hell. One human shouldn't say to other they are going to hell. That descision is God's and ours.

Well that's a good Q, I'll try to answer that from Islamic background.\n---------------------------------\nMy answer short:\n1) There is nothing considered hidden or not known to ALLAH, ALLAH knows that even before the creation.\n2) we are not like Angles or animal world not given the choices to choose, and hence we are rewarded better.\n3) Now your self have the choice to embrace Islam as ALLAH says in the holly Quran, if you  believe in it you will go to heavens and if not you ( not you your self) will be in Hell.\nSo, it is your choice, your have enough time to pass???\nSo,what do you think???

Fair question, friend. I probably would NOT want to know. If I knew for certain that there was no God, then life would be utterly meaningless--especially in the area of morality. I would become crazy selfish, which would cause me to attack everyone else (verbally) just so I could survive emotionally until I died. So, in the final analysis, no, I would not want to know.

Hell is not a place, but a state of Godless existence without truth, reason, logic, or continuity.\n\nThis is where humanity exists without enlightenment. In a godless, truthless, amoral, irrational existence without meaning, people become depressed, manic, anxious, afraid, angry, irritated, and in pain both spiritual, physical, and emotional.\n\nHell is a place where there is no reason, no truth, no morality, no law, no compassion, no justice.\n\nHell is what we are born into, and Heaven is what we can create if we can overcome ignorance and fear and selfishness and subjectivism.\n\nI do not see an almighty and forgiving God creating a place such as a burning lake of fire for all eternity. What would happen? Would we feel pain and irritation of the physical senses? It would seem incredibly unfeeling of God to do such a thing to his loved Creation.\n\nHell is a place humanity chooses to go, by rejecting morality, truth, compassion, selflessness, and logic. It is a state of despair and ignorance and insanity where the only return is enlightenment, but such a thing cannot be achieved unless the correct path is chosen.\n\nYou choose your destiny because of free will. God allows you to choose Him, or to go against him. Since we have all sinned, we have all gone against Him. You had better believe we are already in Hell if this is true, because our only way to heaven is through admission of guilt and asking forgiveness. We must seek to bring God back to this world ourselves.\n\nIf God wished to conquer this world and turn it into heaven on his own, he could. He has not done so.\n\nHe wants us to create heaven here, and ask him to return. He wants us to choose correctly.\n\nThere is no hell but what we create for ourselves.

if you come to terms with the non-existenance of god, then you realize that there is no sin.  there is no good or bad, there are only consequences that affect people.  \n\nknowledge is not from a devil, but something that liberates man from superstitious religious nonsense.
