I am the same, and that is technically a state of atheism. Atheism is actually the lack of a belief in a deity, not the belief that there are no deities (that's called gnostic atheism). One who has no beliefs regarding the existence of a deity would therefore be an atheist, because having no beliefs about that mean no belief in a god.
Everyone is infinitely likely both to be doomed and be granted with eternal bliss, and an infinite number of other possibilities. Get that into your puny fucking head.
ATHEISTS AND AGNOSTICS AREN'T AT -1 YOU DUMB FUCKING MORON. EVERYONE IS AT 0 BECAUSE THERE ARE AN INFINITE NUMBER OF FUCKING POSSIBILITIES. NOW PLEASE, THINK FOR A SECOND OR GTFO.
Allow me to pose you a question. Say that there is a god never before thought of who rewards atheists with eternal bliss, and theists with Hell. You'd be pretty fucking screwed if that god were to exist. The fact of the matter is that there is nearly an infinite number of gods who could exist, who'd each act differently, and with believing in any of them (without evidence, for there is clearly no viable evidence to suggest the existence of said being) is illogical for you would have an infinitely small chance of being right.
I shan't waste more time on a retard such as you. Please, think (I know that thinking may be hard for you) for a second before spewing out such thoughtless, derogatory, and childish beliefs and pissing off a great number of people.
Don't be sad for us who don't believe in an afterlife. Nothingness is neither good nor bad. In this sense, it isn't even something you'd feel. As I have said before, it would be like the time before you were born. Did you enjoy the time before you were born (/became conscious)? No? Were you unhappy? Of course not. You couldn't think during that time. Nothingness is technically impossible to imagine, just like infinity, but that doesn't mean it can't exist.
Personally, I would much rather just die and have nothingness than an afterlife, even if it's bliss.
Well, there are some quotes which would be pretty damn hard to turn into a metaphor. I'm talking mostly about some of the stuff to do with slaves, and punishments in general.
Also, the "Mormon's Were Right" thing doesn't really fit here, cause the Mormon's believe in the Judea-Christian God. Just saying...
I have a few points for you, and they're not meant in a derogatory manner, and I hope you won't take them as that. I, as an atheist, and somewhat curious as to why exactly some people, such as yourself, can be so convinced that their religion is true.
Firstly, there are many contradictions and generally stupid things in the Bible which make no sense, and if God were perfect (I'd also like to know how God could be perfect, and I wouldn't want any sort of circular logic crap), why would there be these things?
Also, your evidence for God being the ultimate source of everything doesn't answer anything. You'd merely be left with a question just as valid as: "What created the multiverse?" That being: "What created God?" That's logic.
And one thing about "life" after death, be it torture or bliss, it would be illogical to assume that you would be able to feel or think after you die, for it's a well known fact that the brain is the source of all one's thoughts and emotions and memories etc. How would one be able to be tortured or in bliss if they lack a brain to feel such things?
I personally think that believing there is nothing after you die is just incentive to do as much with one's life while they yet live.
These are just my thoughts, though.
Also, do you believe the story of Genesis? About how Earth and stars, let alone the universe, was created by God? Do you realize how much of a big middle finger that is to astronomers, geologists, and biologists?

That, I would say, is one of the few reasonable and respectable theistic positions. If I recall correctly, that position is known as deism.

Still don't feel bad, you're infinitely likely to be wrong. I'm not afraid of your infinitely unlikely Hell.

@Taintedwisp: Go
I was talking about an imaginary scenario in which you get angry, hit someone with your baby, and your baby explodes, not what actually happened :P
@Taintedwisp: Go
You'd have to be even more angry to hit someone hard enough with your baby for it to explode 0.0
@Taintedwisp: Go
I meant that if you had a baby lol :P
@Taintedwisp: Go
Tsk tsk, imagine if that had been your own baby :P
Would have been quite a traumatic experience.
