I'm an athiest. I'm an athiest because life has made me fully confident that there is no god, that there cannot be a god, so the idea of going to hell is completely theoretical to me. I live my life completely morally, I try to do as much good for the world as possible, helping others whenever I can, giving to charities, trying to protect human rights. In some cases this may be contradictory to some people's ideas of morals such as supporting gay rights/ gay marriage, yet my life has given me every reason to believe these things are moral, and failure to support them would be immoral.
So I suppose one day I will die, and hypothetically assuming that there was a god, I would then supposedly be sent to be judged as to whether I am worthy for heaven or I am not and must be sent to hell. I would not apologize for not believing in god in my life since, undenyably, god honestly has given me no other reasons but to believe in what I do. I've done everything I could to live as morally as possible, and I would be willing to admit that I was wrong at least to god. Would this supposedly 'omnibenevolent' being still condemn me to spend an eternity in hell?
