I'm well aware what the various strains of Christianity promise (and threaten) as a consequence of a choice made.
And: I'm an *atheist (or apatheist, or hard-ass agnostic, or non-theist... ).
So: at least when it comes to me, with eyes wide open, if the Christians are right, I'm gonna burn.

**Hobbe's Choice...HA!
"The wages of sin is death" - not eternal torture. Or Jesus saved us from all out sins. Maybe they were just talking about his death. It's all pretty confused.
You might be surprised to learn that Christians don't agree on if Hell exists, or who goes there.
Some say we all go to heaven; others that you only need to believe in Jesus and others say that you need to do good deeds and believe in Jesus, whilst yet more say that only a tiny minority of do-gooder believers can get through the gates.
Some say that atheists just die.
So whatever you might think, you seem more sure about it than Christians.
For God to punish even one of us after death shows a God who did not create for the best possible end and that makes him less responsible than men because we create for the best possible end.
As to hell, check how many Americans of low intelligence believe in the traditional burning hell. High 60s last time I looked.
If the price goes up it's bad. If they change the flavour of our preferred brew it's even worse. But if they stop bloody making the stuff it's the end of the world as we know it.
