Heaven, Hell, and Aetheists/Non-believers
I was wondering what you all think about this:
do aetheist/non-believers go to hell when they die? why? how?
if someone does no believe in hell, how can they go there? to them, it doesn't exist, so it doesn't and they can't go there. I don't see how hell can exist if people know it doesn't. Most of religion is a "just because." situation because it is unexplainable and makes no sence. I think that the cristian/catholic church should just say that all science is completely wrong, because sooner or later cristianity is going to end because of the scientists. Although we won't find all the ansers we are looking for, we'll find enough to stop believing in the literal translation of something metaphorical (which is stupid, and is why i dislike catholicism/christianity)...
i am an aetheist, btw.
what are your views?
feel free to flame me if this offends you as a catholic/christian; i can fight you at any turn and win.

This is really a rather silly question.
If someone does not believe in gravity will they fall? How could they if they don't believe?
Because if something exists, it does- regardless of one's opinion in regards to that thing. This is true of any reality.
Whether or not you or I believe in hell is irrelevant to whether or not it exists.
The rest of the thread is just gonna go downhill fast- but I couldn't resist this little bit.
