If you also agree that an animals suffering should be avoided rather than encouraged, consider what steps you can take.

Noir - my grandbaby (3 months old) doesn't know about the bible, religion or gods ........... I don't think he would be condemned to hell, do you? Personally, I don't believe in heaven or hell.
Ever heard of quantum physics .... everything that exists is made up of nothing but energy?
My "god" is the universe ....... and a belief that every single particle of energy is just a cell in the total makeup of God/Universe .......as our physical bodies die the energy of our soul regroups and decides what our next lesson will be and then creates the situation from our combined energy and thoughts.

No, no, no, you have it backwards. The very reason those Evangelists that people are so annoyed by try to convert you, is so that you will spend eternity with God. I am always perplexed by how much people are hated for just trying to give others what they believe is the biggest reward possible. Aside from the few shysters out there, most do it because Jesus asked it. And for souls.
So no, I don't wish hell upon you. I can be glad and convinced that God exists, without wishing punishment on you. That is between you and God.
Anyway, aside from not having to worry about your grandparents, which is nice, what do you personally gain from not believing? What makes your life better for living/dying in a godless universe?

Well i don't believe they'd go to hell either, cus it doesn't exist IMO, however, there are no doubt religious people who would say that unless they were chirstaned at birth ect then they would. See thats a massive problem i have with religion, no matter what God does it is just, for anything against his will is Sin, thus if he wants to send babies to hell, and forgive deathbed conversions of murderers, then that is 'just' because it is his will.
I have, and it fascinates me,Ever heard of quantum physics .... everything that exists is made up of nothing but energy?
Indeedy, this is a very common form of 'God' and a view that has been shared by many, such as einstein, the problem is that people can manipulate what you say by removing context, for example Einstien is often quoted as saying "God does not play dice" which he did, but he was using the word god to talk about nature, not about any personal god.My "god" is the universe ....... and a belief that every single particle of energy is just a cell in the total makeup of God/Universe .......as our physical bodies die the energy of our soul regroups and decides what our next lesson will be and then creates the situation from our combined energy and thoughts.

I have no doubt that you and many others do what you do sincerely and out of caring, and i know you do not wish ill on me, or anyone else, however, it is your belief that one must follow God through Christ and have your sins forgiven ect ect, otherwise you go to hell. As such in hoping that your Gods exist, and that you are following the right one, you are hoping that others are worshiping false gods, and by the scripture that you have faith in that means they are damned to hell

Sorry bout that,
1. Well we are all in this world together mates.
2. You like everyone else has to ask yourself, "Do I feel lucky punk?"
3. No really just joking, we care what happens to you Noir, or whatever your name is.
4. But the thing is, is God makes the rules, we just listen and follow is all we're saying.
5. Sure we are mostly screw ups, we make mistakes too, just like you do.
6. We ain't perfect, but we are forgiven by his grace.
7. And theres still room for another, its you who desides.
8. We're pulling for you,.....

Because if God exists, we are not free to recognize, on our own accord, what is meaningful for us. We are not free to recognize beauty where we find it. With God, whatever is beautiful, whatever really matters, is whatever God says. And if that were so, if that's all we're here for, is to be God's cheering section - then what the hell are our individual lives for? If God exists, everything is meaningless - it's all a parlor game God plays in his head.
True freedom (and true responsibility) are only possible in a Godless universe. Life is valuable, only because it is finite. I can think of no more perfect hell, than to condemn a man to unending life. The people who yearn for it, don't understand the implications. An eternity of insomnia - the ultimate self-aggrandizement of your ego, and with no escape possible! Life is beautiful, and death is hard. And that is as good as it gets. The grand irony of the hereafter, is that the exact same notice is posted above the gates to heaven and hell alike: "Hope Dies Here."

Not true.
If you can let go of what you currently believe about God, perhaps you could realize that YOU are a piece of God and through you the creator of the universe can experience all that is.
I do not experience God through the belief system of any religion, therefore, I put no limitations on what I believe God to be, therefore I have the ultimate freedom.
