OK, just show me where it says in the Bible where is says no one will perish? Just because its God's desire doesn't mean it will happen. The Bible talks more aobut Hell and God judgment than it does about Heaven. Because God doesn't want that to happen to anyone.

"Just because its God's desire doesn't mean it will happen.
Um....according to Christianity...just because it's God's desire damn well does mean it's going to happen. I'm assuming you didn't really mean to say that, because if you did, check your hemline, because your atheism is showing...

Here:
The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some men count slackness, but is longsuffering toward us, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. - 2 Peter 3:9
Then again, you may know something god doesn't. Fair enough.
Just because its God's desire doesn't mean it will happen.
Ooooooh, no he di-ent! God, you best kick this dog to da curb, Big-G! Huh! I wouldn't let that punk get all up in my face, talkin' 'bout, "it doesn't mean will happen". Hmmm-mmm, if that was me, I'd say someone 'bout to get a size 13 flip-flop up they ass!
But in addition to the passage quoted by xplicit, there's also
"All flesh shall perish together, and man shall turn again unto dust." - Job 34.15
and
"Who can tell [if] God will turn and repent, and turn away from his fierce anger, that we perish not?" - Jonah 3:9
So we've got three passages: one that says we won't perish, one that says we will, and another that says nobody knows. Yet another proof that the Bible says anything somebody wants it to.
If your God is omnipotent and he desires that no one should perish, then no one would perish. Either your God in not omnipotent (including the likelihood that he doesn't exist), or he doesn't care if people perish.
Coffee, some fundies claim that not only is the Bible inerrant, but if you're a true believer, your interpretation of it will be inerrant, too (so everyone who disagrees with you will go to Hell).
A conversation in heaven.
Angel: So you created everything in the universe, including heaven and hell.
God: Yep.
Angel: And hell is where unrepentant sinners go.
God: Yep.
Angel: But you don't want anyone to go to hell.
God: That's correct.
Angel: So you made hell so you could put unrepentant sinners there, but you don't want to put them there.
God: Yes. They put themselves there.
Angel: Against your will.
God: Yep.
Angel: Can't you change that?
God: No. I don't have that power.
Angel: But... why not?
God:..... I'm working on that.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
