Question

Atheists? How come you're not scared of h**l fire?

Answer 4

Atheists don't believe in h**l fire, thus it's only obvious that they can't be scared of something that they don't believe exists. Just for the record, I'm a Christian and don't believe in hellfire (much less eternal) unless as a metaphor.

Answer 5

*sigh*

It's perfectly obvious.

They don't believe in any sort of god or afterlife, therefore they are not scared of it. Are YOU scared of the Flying Spaghetti Monster?

Answer 6

Because I've never been brainwashed by the Christian Church.

Answer 7

Wait! I'm a Deist who believes the consciousness of the universe is God and I don't believe in h**l.

Answer 8

Because I will be in a casket resting peacefully. Not in some mythical world.

Answer 9

Actually I'm more scared of the thought of praising and singing songs to a homophobic, sexist, genocidal, massive human rights violator, vengeful, violent, murderous, blood sacrifice-requiring god for eternity. I'm also scared of spending eternity with the bigots who fanatically worship this god.

How come Christians fall for the mythology that paints "God" as a psychotic and sadistic monster?
