Offended at being told I will go to hell.

" Then I guess my grandfather, a man who went to seminary and is an ordained minister of the Lutheran Church, is going to hell then."

maybe... it would have been a good idea to mention that I go to a private christian university (because I wasnt accepted to UT Austin and it was my backup) But since I go to a private christian university I get told im going to hell on a daily basis because im like the only atheist at the university and everyone tries to "convert " me .... it really sux. Im doing whatever I can to go to another university... but I missed the deadline for transfer because im irresponsible lawl.

The way I see it, there are three types of atheists:  the type that have found peace and comfort in their non-belief, the type that are frustrated as all hell (get it?) with religion and follow atheism as their sanctuary, and the kind that like to tell people they are atheists for the vanity of it.  Take a guess at which one you think you are, OP.

"Quit being a prissy baby and stop caring what people say. You have the power to take offense to things, and you give yourself that power. You don't need to. "

You're kind of self centered thinking that people actually spend time thinking about your future and beliefs.... nobody actually cares what you believe in or not...

There was a preacher a few times in my town centre and he told me I was going to burn in Hell unless I changed my ways. The first time I was kind of creeped out by it but after like the fifth time, I just got used to it. Don't pay no mind to what anyone else has to say about religious stuff.

"@Everyones_A_Critic: You realise the sodomites only crime was being distrustfull of outsiders right? Not all that stuff christians would have you believe. They were rude and unwelcoming to Lot and his family, that's the sin they were guilty of, the modern accepted meaning of the word sodomy (IE all the sexual deviancy etc) was twisted into the meaning of the story much later on. "

I still think you being offended by this is the same as someone who believes in Santa Clause telling me I'm getting coal in my stocking. Since I don't believe in Santa.

i have to say that u shouldn't care if people tell u that ur going to  hell. i don't believe in hell but i do believe after u die u will go somewhere else.

I have no religion. I have no religious beliefs.

Who cares? Know how many times I've been told I'll go to hell because I'm Atheist? Lots. I just laugh, give them the finger and walk away.

Dude if your that bothered by that you never should have become an atheist, since you dont believe in hell, how can you go there? in your beliefs it doesnt even exist, think about it

" Do you honestly get random people come to you telling you you'll go to hell, or are you simply being provocative around religious groups yourself, putting down their beliefs at every chance, say if they happen to talk about church or something else, like you've done with this very thread? If both are true, stop it. If only the latter is true, stop it. If only the former is true, tell them to GTFO. "

"These both seem like good responses. Of course people are going to fuck with you if you're an atheist. That's why you don't wear it on your fucking sleeve when you're out in public. I highly doubt if you're not professing your faith (or lack thereof) in public people are going to somehow pick up on the fact that you're an atheist and give you shit about it. Yeah, I'm an atheist too, but I've never had anyone ask me about it. If a job application asks "Religious Beliefs?" Fucking A right I put Catholic, you know why? Because it looks better than "Godless Sodomite". You know what you actually believe and that's all that matters.

If you don't believe in it I can't really see how you can be offended by it. If someone said that I was going reincarnated as a dog I wouldn't be offended because I don't believe in reincarnation.

Not all Christians are all "you're going to hell when you die", most aren't actually. I don't appreciate generalization, so mind how you phrase yourself.

Also, you didn't actually prove there's no such thing as a sould. soul, did you? All you said that "there's no soul so how can we go to heaven when we die?" which isn't exactly proof of anything.

I'm not going to try and spread god into your hearts and minds, I will never try. Everyone gets to believe what they want, and I'm totally okay with that. Just be aware of how and what your write about things.

Just as an added side note, I'm not enraged by this, so no one get any funny ideas now, ya hear me?

I'm offended that you think you AREN'T going to Hell.  =  /  What now, son?

Just let people believe what they want. I just mind my own business. People can believe in God if they want and I'm Atheist.

I belive in god but I don't believe most of the crap they told me in church so I stopped going. I also noticed that my church was pushy when people said they don't believe and that just seemed wrong. I don't really hang my life on the bible but try to follow the stories it shares you know be nice, Don't steal blah blah blah.

Because many Christians believe they are right and that anyone who isn't a Christian is going to suffer. Logic is funny sometimes.

My nan once said that if you are White, you are going to hell. Same kinda thing. And obviously, I disagree-its a ridiculous thing to say.
 
I believe in God, but he will send people to Heaven and Hell if they are good/bad people in the eyes of the world. Nothing else.

ur going to hell....
 
in other notes, how can u go to hell if u don't believe in god and heaven? no well just don't care when people tell u that ur going to hell.

"  My proof for knowing that hell doesn't exist is I am told that "it is a place your soul goes when you die".. but there is no soul. Because when you lose the Insular Cortex part of the brain you lose all consciousness... and when you die your brain dies. This also proves there is no heaven. (defined by: A place your soul goes for eternity that is with god.)" 
 
Wow, you have just settled the entire philosophy of cognitive science. Congratulations on knowing more than any other professor in the philosophy of mind.  
 
I actually laughed out loud when I read your post. Who would have known that a tween from giantbomb would prove that neither a soul nor heaven exist?

I was wondering why this blog seemed familiar. It's three months old.

P.P.S. Excuse my grammar and spelling English is my second language. "

No, its more like I am offended  by how religious people(christians, pastafarians and muslims) walk around with a false sense of duty trying to "save" me. I am confident in my disbelief. "

Don't go to america?

I think the only time I've been told to go to hell was by my father when I was 11 or so.

Go to Heaven for the weather, Hell for the company. Or so I heard.

" @animegreen: Well they shouldn't be telling you you are going to hell but I think you are completely mistaken in what you think is proof of souls not existing. And proof is not the point of Christianity. Although such proof exists. "

Again with the circular reasoning. That shit doesn't play. 

" @MrSnow: Actually I have personal reasons for not saying what things have made me believe. "

 
Im a christian and i believe in god,but i dont hate you because of that.You believe what you believe!Dont give a shit about them!

Extremist religious people (e.g. Christians)  believe that everyone who doesn't believe in a zombie revolution is going to hell. neglect them and better not to provoke them. (Ps: So if a zombie revolution is not going to happen, and I'm not going too resurrect  and I'm not going to be judged about my karma, why the hell should I care about morality and be concerned of doing good and evil? and another thing, why someone who created the whole universe should care about someone believing in him or not? after all, if he did it, he did it. there's nothing we can do about this. fuck these contradictions I'm going to heaven, if this place exists though.)

" I am an atheist and I know that Christians think I am going to hell. I also am told that if I don't believe in god then I will go to hell. This is very offensive; because I am 100% sure hell doesn't exist and when I die I don't want people thinking i am going to hell. lol.My proof for knowing that hell doesn't exist is I am told that "it is a place your soul goes when you die".. but there is no soul. Because when you lose the Insular Cortex part of the brain you lose all consciousness... and when you die your brain dies. This also proves there is no heaven. (defined by: A place your soul goes for eternity that is with god.)How can you go to hell if you have no soul? When you die nothing happens. Doesn't sound that bad to me.Any proof for souls? Reply if you think their is a soul. P.S. I have no problem with religion; It is kind of entertaining.  I just have a problem at being insulted and told I will go to hell when people try and prove to me god exists. P.P.S. Excuse my grammar and spelling English is my second language. "

You care what they think and your offended? XD. Blow them off.

" And God seems like kind of a jerk. I mean "worship me or I'll send you to hell". That seems really dickish. He's a dictator (if he exists)... like Hitler... "
