I would have thought that an all-powerful all-knowing all-loving God wouldn't absolve people of their sins but cure them of those defects of sense and feeling which [his] own omnipotence has thrust onto them.

Will There be Atheists in Heaven

I tried once, but that fragmented presentation requires far more patience and effort than I thought the task deserved.

Not "whose" but "what". And the answer is "reason".

Not sure why, given that many on Earth can't seem to agree as to reality - they might just think they have been abducted by aliens.
Aliens who remove our sin nature so that we live in a utopia without hurting anyone while retaining our identity?
Well if Jesus is walking around. Lets hope he lives up to expectations.
Who knows? If religions can do such perhaps aliens can do so too.

Psalm 83:18
The Bible teaches that 144,000 individuals will inherit life in heaven. These 144,000 believe in Jehovah God, do Jehovah God's will and keep following the Lamb, Jesus Christ. (Revelation 14:3) (Matthew 7:21) (Revelation 3:21)
These 144,000 are chosen by Jehovah God and they will become kings, priests and co-rulers with Jesus Christ in the Kingdom of God. (Revelation 5:9-10)
This Kingdom will rule over the earth and establish Jehovah's will of a peaceful paradise earth filled with righteous people who will enjoy everlasting life! (Matthew 6:10) (Revelation 21:4) (Psalms 37:10-11)
So the 144,000 will be elevated to a position of authority?
The atheist will then find the earth a place of peace?
Praise Jah
Psalm 83:18
Jehovah has installed his Son, Jesus, as King. The 144,000 will be co-rulers working along with Jesus. Through this Kingdom the will of Jehovah will be accomplished on earth.
The Bible teaches that only the righteous will inherit everlasting life on a paradise earth. (Psalms 37:29) (Matthew 5:5)
The wicked, the ungodly, those who do not know God and those who do not obey the good news of God's Kingdom and Jesus will be removed from the earth. They will die which means they will simply cease to exist. (2 Thessalonians 1:7-9)
If I may ask, if you don't believe in God is there a reason why?
Being an atheist doesn't automatically make one wicked does it?
Why I'm an atheist? Lack of knowledge. Lots of people claiming to know about God. I find their knowledge to be inconsistent. So I have no faith in what other people claim about God.
I don't claim any knowledge about God, so lacking knowledge, I don't feel qualified to make a decision on who's belief about God is correct.
Praise Jah
Psalm 83:18
Thank you for your honesty! I can understand why you feel the way you do!
You say that part of the reason you are an athiest is because you personally lack knowledge. Did you know that the Bible teaches that it is God's will that all sorts of people be saved and come to an accurate knowledge of truth. (1 Timothy 2:3-4)
This invitation is extended to all sorts of people. That includes you personally as an athiest.
And did you notice that God wants people to learn the truth? He doesn't want us to believe all the untruths that are floating around and being taught.
But is there any way to know what is truth and if there is any religion teaching the truth?
Would you like to know the Bible's answer?
Of course, why not? I think hypocrites will have a much harder time getting through the pearly gates!

If you give limitless power to aliens, then you may have a Creator.
Who needs limitless when a few such might fool the average human.If you give limitless power to aliens, then you may have a Creator.

I believe it is impossible for a person to go to a place that he doesn't believe exists. On the other hand if the person wanted to go there and knew how to get there, then the person could get there and find they believe after they get there. I don't know of anyone who can get there on their own though.

I believe God is just.

I believe that would be by God's standards.
