Can atheists go to Heaven?

[Khazmatistan]

If a man is honestly and atheists, and has reason in his mind that there is no God, I don't see why he should go to hell. Even C.S. Lewis thinks that.

C.S. Lewis isn't the authority, the simple fact is that Jesus paid for our sins with his death, thus only through him can one enter heaven free of sin - if you don't accept Jesus in your heart as your saviour then you still owe Satan for your sins.

This is true. I used to be a huge fundie, and I've talked to Baptists, and they say the same thing.
Also, it says in the Bible. It does NOT say that anyone good in heart will go to Heaven, only those who accept Jesus.

[Ceannairceach]

If God punishes people eternally for not believing in him, then he's a dick, and I don't want to spend eternity in his heaven.

Not to mention, Heaven would be a PG shit-hole.

I concur.

Though one must remember, Gandhi was a paedo. But I think if your a good person, you'll be fine whatever happens.

[Unilisia]

Heaven doesn't exist, so nobody can

You rot in the ground and get recycled into the Earth.

[JJ Place]

Well, if God is truly as great as Theists proclaim him , or her , or they , or whatever God may be , and God is as Benevolent and Perfect as many pray to him and believe God is, then yes, all Atheists should be able to go to Heaven. If not, then that's not the God anyone should follow.

So? He was a good person.

Or that's my Indian bias willing to overlook anything bad.

[Austin Setzer]

Ok you know what? God has done EVERYTHING for us. He made the UNIVERSE AND EARTH (and for all those who believe in the big bang thats probably HOW HE DID IT!) so he wont care what you do on earth he judges your inner soul. Accepting and embracing Jesus and/or god is the ONLY way to make it to heavon. simple as that

[Laerod]

OF COURSE YOU CAN'T GO TO HEAVEN IF YOUR ATIEST. YOU PEOPLE INSIST IT DOESN'T EVEN EXIST. :palm:

Prove it.

[Artarnica]

I my opinion, if you did nothing but good, or even some good, then god shall let you in.

[Wilgrove]

Not according to The Bible. Who'd want to go to Heaven anyways? You're basically there to worship Yahweh and to stroke his already massive ego.

Atheists are always welcome to Valhalla! We will eat, drink, fight and be merry and Odin doesn't require the ego stroking!

Hitler went to heaven because he was Lutheran, amirite?

No, he was generally good. But I think he might serve some time in Religious Heavenly Jail(Mormon hell) before he gets past the gates, or whatever.

I like your place better... Tell me, are there orgies?

Yes, many.

[Austin Setzer]

unfortunatly thats not true. it all goes like this (christian version) when you go to heavon you go to judgement. If your name is not in the lambs book of life you will go to hell. but if it is, you shall not feel anymore pain. You shall not suffer. You will go to heavon. And if your atheist i want to know one thing....why? dont you want something to look foward to in the afterlife?

Hitler was Christian, yes. I'm not sure of his denomination.

I my opinion, if you did nothing but good, or even some good, then god shall let you in.

It's not about your opinion. The Bible says otherwise. Sorry.

[Laerod]

Why do you think we have the Valkyries? ;)

To feel their rejection?

[New Nassrau]

I believe that Atheists should just be left alone and be considered "Normal" like most other people

But we don't believe that there is one. Why would we take up an illogical faith just so we can have 'something to look forward to'?

No. I like to think life isn't a test.

To retrieve the dead from battle and return them to Odin's table, and reject those fools who don't fall in battle?

Heaven doesn't exist, so nobody can

You rot in the ground and get recycled into the Earth.

That's what the bible says anyway:
"There the wicked cease from troubling; and there the weary be at rest. There the prisoners rest together; they hear not the voice of the oppressor. The small and great are there; and the servant is free from his master."
Job 3:17-20

[Austin Setzer]

because thats better than nothing...

I'd have to agree with this.
