Can athiests get into heaven?

[flobadob]

Say when an athiest dies and it turns out he was wrong in his assumption and there actually is a heaven, assuming he's been a good guy all his days, can he get into heaven or is he automatically barred because of his beliefs whilst on earth? Furthermore, supposing it's the latter, where would he end up?

TTG - I think you're going to Hell. You won't get angels in saucy underwear in Heaven - tooo much temptation! Unless you're one for eternal punishment. (laughing)
And Birdie you're hilarious - poetic justice! I have to get off-line.

[flobadob]

I know that this question could be construed as being irrelevant to athiests, but thanks for pointing it out. It was more just a general query along the lines of, as some mentioned, would God punish a good guy just because the guy didn't believe in Him due to lack of any proof of God's existence.

From what I've heard about what heaven is like from those who believe they're going there . . . I certainly hope not . . . especially if they're gonna be there!

[Sandy-Wroe]

They'll be very surprised when they do.

I was just about to say what mibs said, so that makes it two tickets to somewhere else please.

One lifetime of navigating my way around the pitfalls of the faithful has done it for me. However, hypothetically, if I was condemned to spend an eternity in the clouds and they could all be persuaded to take just one more leap of faith into the abyss of blessed assurance, that would be heaven for me. Poetic justice. Poetry in motion. Lord have mercy, now they've got me dreamin' too.

I have trouble with the 70 virgins thing.

Down on Earth, in the Kingdom created by Our Lord ...

... followers have to be abstemious, no alcohol, no sex outside marriage, etc.

Whilst up in God's Kingdom, the "good" guys spend their time shagging like nymphomaniac, sex starved rabbits.

You reward for Earthly sacrifice is "endless pu5sy".

Is that really God's message ???

If so, the closest we have to God on Earth is Hugh Hefner !

I've changed my mind if its anything like what jj just described! :o)

[naomi24]

^^ Huh! Make that just one ticket! Some people are so easily led!

A few days ago someone in Chatterbank asked "When you die and go to heaven, who would you like to meet?" (or something like that). Being a student of religion and naturally tempted by such a question, I ventured into the virtually unknown territory of those hallowed halls, and said 'Jesus'. However, as an afterthought I added George Clooney just to entertain me in the lighter moments - and then I realised he's not dead. Drat! :o(

Christiananswer.net....just love that site. Especially the film reviews and the way in which it trys to twist scientific findings to fit in with the Bible.

[flobadob]

Is that christiananswers site serious or a take the proverbial site, ergo,
"In fact, the Bible says that we should so love God that our love for Mom and Dad and brother and sister should seem like hatred compared to the love we have for the God who gave those loved ones to us."
That is hilarious.

[naomi24]

I can't see anything funny in that at all, flobadob. It's sickening.

[flobadob]

I know it's sickening but the way it's written is funny, like from the mind of an 8 year old.

[Toureman]

this question should be in the myths catogery.
