If atheists think there is no judgment day, what if they are wrong?

This question is asked often on here.  I will tell you what I have said before.\n\nIf I am wrong about being an atheist, and I stand before god, I will hold my head up. I'll say "I looked for you harder than anybody I know. I read the bible in its original languages. I prayed for hours and hours. If you know all, you know how sincerely I looked. If you can chuck me into hell, knowing that, then I go with a clear conscience. Because I wouldn't want to share eternity with a being who could torment ANYone for eternity. Let alone someone who looked for him so hard."\n\nI would rather go to hell with a clear conscience and a pure heart than go to heaven because I chose out of fear.

I asked this question to a jehoivus witness (however its spelt) and they said that saten had another 10,000 years ruling earth and then god would come down and banish him to a prison af sorts, thats when life on earth is supposed to end, the dead willl rise (not in zombie style,lol.) and their souls will be judged, along with the 'living'. the bad will get cast to hell and the 'good' will have new lives on earth where there is no death or desiese and will be ruled over by jesus. Thats why its called 'judgement day'. \nDont really believe this, because apparently if you dont believe in the jehovus wittness way of life you will defo go hell. \nDont believe ANYTHING that jehovus witness say, come to think of it! :)

if you were an atheist and you went to hell you would deny that you are in hell because you don't believe in it.  I am an atheist, not the most hardcore of atheists, but anyways, I would feel dumb if I were in hell because I would be wrong.

Good first part of your question. If they don't believe then why judge or blame?  It seems they would be blaming and judging something they don't even believe and/ or think exists.  Simple example--If I don't believe the New York Mets exist how could I ridicule their poor play?Yo easily, people take credit for anything good that becomes them but blame God for the bad. Why is that?

I pretty much agree with you. An atheist is sure that God does not exist, and an agnostic isn't willing to commit either way. (Sort of like the dyslexic agnostic who developed insomnia. He kept lying awake at night wondering if there really is a Dog...).

Same reason christians think they're right, same reason buhddists think they're right, same reason muslims think they're right...etc. In the end, none of you are right. You die and your corpse rots in the ground. If you want everlasting life, make something of yourself in the here and now, then when you die, kids will learn about you in history class.

None. i'm an atheist. And I don't know what my destiny is because i don't believe that you can tell the future and you never know what's going to happen tomorrow (or in a year). respect is important. But it doesn't make it beautiful.

Theoretically, if they are saying the phrases you describe then they are not actually atheists. how can someone you don't believe in damn anything? Seriously I don't get especially annoyed by this one thing that atheists do but there are other things such as being illogical and pigheaded which usually bother me more!!

An Atheist is a believer.  However, they do not believe in the correct religion.

they probably have atheist and agnostic mixed up

Only if they want to be ridiculed.\n\nThe religious person says "If I'm wrong, I have nothing to lose.  If you're wrong, you'll burn in hell" (or some such nonsense).  Sadly for that person, this is wrong.  If you believe in the Christian god, and it's actually the Muslim god who exists, you're going to burn in hell for all eternity - the Quran says so.  If you believe in the Christian god and he's an evil sadist rather than a benevolent god (a reasonable assumption, considering the incalculable suffering that he - supposedly - presides over in the world), then he will take great delight in sending the most fervent believers to eternal torture and keeping us atheists in paradise, just to make your torment that much the worse.  If there is a god and he values reason over blind faith, he will reward atheists and punish believers (since they have no justifiable reason to believe that any gods exist).  \n\nAny genuinely religious person would spend their lives eternally tormented by the possibility of believing in the wrong god and ending up in some other hell, or offending the Christian god and ending up in his.  If you don't feel this way, then you can't be a genuine believer.\n\nAtheists, of course, have no such worries, since we know that when we die, we cease to exist.  You spend your life sweating over the prospect of burning in hell, and we'll live comfortable lives without fear of what might happen in the next life, because we know there is no such thing.

Atheist, you in your comment show you are as bad as they are.  They have the right to believe whatever they want and to say whatever they want no matter how hurtful.  Be we have the right to report them for it and not giving them power over us by letting their ignorance hurt us.

God made himself evident in creation, only a fool says "there is no God"..truth be told the atheist do believe there is a God or at one time had, they turned their back on him for one reason or another. BTW Satan believes there is a God too and he shudders. Now you know

Atheists don't have enough knowledge about religion because they are not associated with any religion. I guess it's their own ignorant way of forming an opinion which ins't even valid. It's kind of like children laughing or teasing at something that they have never heard of. It's a childish way of coming to terms with something.\n\nYou're right in saying that there is a reason to believe in God. As a catholic, we don't really consider it as a "higher power" though. However, it is the only form of being that we worship (we worship no one else except God) which comes from one of the 10 commandments.\n\nOne other thing, why would God be unfair and cruel? Because of all the terrible things that happen? Let me tell you that there is a reason for everything that happens and it's all part of God's plan for each of us in the future. For example, something bad had to happen today for something more important that will happen tomorrow.

Atheists just don't believe at all. Good, bad or indifferent it's irrelevant.

No.  All an atheist is saying is that they don't believe in God.  One could be an atheist and still not believe in science.

Sounds good, an atheist is someone that doesn't believe in God, has nothing to do with religion. Your outlook on God is a refreshing change from the usual dyed-in-the-wool pew sitter.
