When I die..

Consider God and heaven to be true for this thread. (most of you allready do

)

I don't believe in the guy. According to some I am going to hell. The very moment I am dead, God, heaven and hell will be proved enough for me and I will believe.

How to deal with such a situation? I am floating there, completelly believing in all, but I never did in real life..

When I die, will I instantly be in hell? Or will I first get a summary of what I have done right or wrong? If I go to hell, will I ever find out what I did wrong, because I can tell you, if nobody would tell me what I did wrong, I still wouldn't believe I am there because of what I believe.

I don't think it's quite that cut and dried. According to some scriptures, it's how you reflect God's love that makes all the difference. "Whatever you did to the least of these, my brothers, you did also to me!"

Whether you want to or not, you celebrate God's existence, every time you show LOVE. Subconscious? You betcha! That's REAL belief: belief that turns into ACTION.

You don't expect the God of Love to play fair, did you?

Some say there is a waiting period, like purgatory or spirit prison, and then judgement day will happen for everyone at the same time.

In that case it would be strange that atheists go to hell. I asume most atheists will not say no to either God or the vision of.. After dying and a waitingperiod, I, as atheist will believe in God.

Many Christians say all you need to reach heaven is belief in Jesus Christ, so if we die and it is revealed to us that the Christian cosmology is correct we will, like you say, immediately have not only belief but full blown knowledge of Jesus Christ and will surely enter into heaven.

Its a win/win situation for us.

If you wake up smelling bacon you're in trouble.

Fear not, its not that likely there is a heel. Its just so abrahamic religions have some means of scaring their sheep back into line
