Why do atheists hate the very idea of Heaven/Hell?
I think it's because they know if it is true
they are destined to a hell not even Wes Craven
or Steven Spielberg could fathom
Additional Details
Nope. Hell is a real place.
It's a place of punishment for your
evil ways because you don't repent.
Good luck down there!!!

I was never indoctrinated with the crazy shit from your fantasy book, so to me, heaven and hell are just fictional places from a collection of 2000+ year old goat herder and camel driver scifi stories.
I would certainly never think they were real, I'm not crazy.

Why do Christians hate the very idea of reincarnation? I think it's because they fear coming back as a cockroach or sea slug.

Oh, good. Kindly point out where it exists so that I may inspect it for myself.

Good luck returning as an intestinal parasite for being such a moron in this life!!!
Jackass.
"...a hell not even Wes Craven or Steven Spielberg could fathom ..."
And, yet, fundies claim that they not only worship but also love the entity they believe created such a horrible place of torture for anyone who doesn't show it sufficient honor. That, in my opinion, is so twisted that I cannot fathom the fundie mindset.
As an atheist, I hate the IDEA of heaven/hell because it is part of a delusion which afflicts a great number of otherwise fairly nice folks.
When one is as unfamiliar with thinking as you are, Chelesy, one should presume to tell the world what other people think.
Please provide proof that heaven and/or hell is a real place.

Yet another picture ineptly painted in black and white, courtesy of that microbial lump of maybe 20 neurons that fundies pass off as a brain.
Why do they vehemently insist on limiting the human emotional palette to just love and hate? Either you love it or you hate it, no third possibility whatsoever. I mean even chimps are known to have more then two emotional states.
Steven Spielberg?
What the fuck?
I understand the ACLU will shortly be filing suit on behalf of Middle, which has, in this case, been tragically excluded without reference to its merits. Quite fallacious.
Why, oh why does disbelief automatically get equated to hatred?
@John-in-Oz
I heard they put a Starbucks where it used to be.
I do in fact dislike the ideas a fair bit. especially their descriptions.
First off, we're talking eternal reward or punishment for finite transgressions of arbitrary rules given only by those claiming to "speak" for said deity. Anyone OUGHT to see that this is rather suspicious or unfair at best.
Second, you read the actual descriptions they have, not the "fire and brimstone" crap the priests like to spew, and its pretty much absolute boredom. "heaven", the "reward", involves spending all day basking in the 'glory' of someone else, and you "get" to worship and sing its praises all day.
Whoopdeefuckingdoo.
"hell" is nothing but a "lack" of said deity's presence. Given this, chances are its at the very least less boring. But even the "fire and brimstone" dante version's not all that threatning. If you're now incapable of dying, and the torture's apparently always the same, then pain loses a lot of its meaning. The "danger" warning goes away with the knowledge that you're now 'eternal'. It may still hurt but its no longer as threatning as it could. its something that's just a matter of getting used or numbed to.
Please stop. You're hurting my feelings.
Cunt.
@ Horsefeathers: They'd better not come back as a cockroach and then try to scurry around my apartment. I killed one in my bathtub the other day by squirting bleach onto the nasty little fucker, then poured some of my boyfriend's cheap shampoo onto it before running the water and letting it expire in the drain.
>_>
In my defense, I have a fear of roaches and my methods of killing them help assuage those fears.
Robbery: No divine intervention or punishment.
Swindle: No divine intervention or punishment.
Stealing food from the starving: No divine intervention or punishment.
Spousal Beating: No divine intervention or punishment.
Rape: No divine intervention or punishment.
Murder: No divine intervention or punishment.
Torture: No divine intervention or punishment.
Genocide: No divine intervention or punishment.
Being of a different religion: Torture for eternity.
I'm sure my Christian friends, who are all great people, have excuses for the above statement. I have a feeling it's nothing convincing, though.
Why don't you...you know...talk to a few atheists? On a more personal level?
Oh to Sheol with you, just keep asking retarded questions to Yahoo answers whilest issuing general declarations as to who your target audience is.
Actually anyone whom actually read the scriptures in the apocalypse of Peter which was a part of the Bible that was removed during the canonization process due to political reasons, is all about hell and you know what?
It's not all that imaginative. Wes Craven could do better.
Down where? Where is hell? We can find oil deposits all over the place but we can't find a chasm in the earth big enough to house all the sinners?
Again, just total detachment from reality.
Item #1: not believing in something is not the same as hating
Item #2: Stephen Spielberg never made a horror movie in his life (unless you count the last Indie movie, which was horribly awful)
Item #3: if you wish to masturbate over my supposed future life in hell, could you please do it in a cup? I'd like to have your dna examined for inconsistencies.
Hell doesn't exist, so it doesn't scare me. I hate the idea of hell because it is used as a threat against your own group. It is used to terrify children. It is abusive and sick, and you are doing it to yourselves. I hate the idea IN DEFENSE OF YOUR CHILDREN. You are the ones who should be defending your own children, but instead you are the perpetrators of this abuse.
Why would we hate the very idea of imaginary places? Do YOU hate the very idea of Azkaban, Mordor or Nangijala, Chelsey?
Judge not, lest ye be judged, Chelsey. Oh, and I don't think gloating is a trait that Jesus finds charming, either...
See you in Hell!
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
