A lot of atheists are going to a 'heaven'

Basically a lot of atheists are going to a type of 'heaven'. Its everything they're complaining about, though. Like reciting verses to the demiurge.

Why? Because it's just a default in a way.

The problem is, in that atheist paradigm, its either that, or hell. And either way, it isn't preferable, as far as Im concerned.

Why do atheists go to a mythological hell hole? c
Can you truly imagine being couped up with millions of holier than though types?

I would hazard a guess that in the vast majority of "atheist paradigms," there is not thought to be either a heaven or a hell. Take myself for example - I truly do not worry about either. I only ever talk about them in order to try and make those who believe in them understand how little evidence of their existence they are actually relying on, and how foolish either concept is given the reality we are able to observe that we inhabit.

You've obviously never been a chaperone for teenagers at an all night outdoor event, but I take your meaning that it could be almost as bad as that.

Does 13 count? Does 4 continuous nights count?
We have just had a 4 day village fete with fairgrounds and rock bands, magnets to 2 teenagers Its a doddle compared to evangelists in heaven

Please explain why? I think heaven is for righteous, are atheists righteous?

These will go away into eternal punishment, but the righteous into eternal life.

This is somewhat theoretical.

John 3:36

For example refutes it, however there is a suggestion that there are other variables in 'hell', [everlasting,
So that's not quite the hell that people are familiar with, if I just write 'Hell'.

Old Testament, [where I get my theism, or God beliefs, or rather what parallels my God beliefs, suggests variables in ''hell', or hell. That's how I'm reading it, anyway.

The NT is more absolute.

you can lead a mind to matter but you can't make it think otherwise.

Sorry, I don’t see how it refutes, it says:

One who believes in the Son has eternal life, but one who disobeys the Son won't see life, but the wrath of God remains on him."
John 3:36

And I don’t think there really is variables in hell. It is a place were soul and body are destroyed.

And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.
Matt. 10:28
