I think you missed my point. What if just being an atheist is considered by god to be an evil thing. What if some of the things we do is something that your god considers evil when we as a society do not? Then we are basically screwed.
Also, Lullaby presented a good argument about how parts of the bible say believing will get you saved.
Though you may not of realized it, you have said things that can easily be interpreted as you saying you have to be a good christian to go to heaven. You say that one must accept Jesus Christ as their lord and savior to be admitted into heaven. So therefore, since atheists don't believe that there is a god, therefore no son of said god, we would be doomed to hell. |
Yes you must accept Jesus Christ to go to heaven. But dieing as an athiest doesn't necessarily mean you are doomed. Being an athiest doesn't mean you are evil. You can be a good person, if you care for others and act on that caring. Being an athiest means you lack faith.
You lack faith, but you may yet gain it, even if it doesn't happen until you enter the afterlife. Death may be what it takes, to get you to hear the Holy Spirit inside of you, and accept Jesus.

All of us sin, including Christians. Jesus died for our sins, just try your best. Be a loving person. Be the good Samaritan, love your neighbour as yourself.
