Atheism-is it right? Is it wrong?

There are many diffrent religions. Atheists choose none of them. They belive in no god or all powerful being. Is this wrong?

If an atheist is good and follows 7/10 commandments will he go to heaven?

I believe it's possible, but many people don't.

When it comes to religion, I believe that there is no right or wrong answer. However, I do feel it is a bit narrow-minded, perhaps, to completely disregard any possibility of any higher power.
That's not to say I believe in it though.

However, I do believe that an atheist could go to heaven, if he follows a lot of the commandments. Does it ever say non-believers are barred entrance? I don't think it does... O.o

it depends on what the belive in athism to go to heaven or not, if they directly say i hate u god, chances are they arnt going :P but if they just havent really gotten the chance to know a religon but yet folo the commandments i belive its possible (more than likely)

Here's an example. John is a good man. He has a family, and never does anything wrong. He doesn't drink, smoke, do drugs, or gamble. He is an atheist. He has never specified his religion or denied God saying he is non-existent.

How's that?

I've heard before you have to accept God and Jesus into your heart to get into heaven, though.

Hmm...well, if your last comment is true, than I don't believe that an atheist could be allowed into heaven.

However, is this the same for other religions, other than christianity? For example, Judaism (just a random religion) may not 'require' for a person to accept Jesus to be allowed into heaven. Just not blaspheme against it, for example.

Do you understand what I mean? It sounds rather wordy and unclear to me... O_o

Yeah. So if your atheist you ain't going to Catholic heaven, but maybe Jewish heaven? Kinda weird if you ask me.

Miyagi, from what I believe, Islam, Judaism, Catholics (religion name?), and Christianity all relate to the one God, and I think they all believe in that one God, but at different angles.

There might be other religions that believe in this god, but I don't know of any except Mormonism (sp?), which sounds kinda stupid to me IMO.

"My religion consists of a humble admiration of the illimitable superior spirit who reveals himself in the slight details we are able to perceive with our frail and feeble mind."

Since I am a man of science, I'll stick to this quote of my friend Albert E.

Just sit back and think that all religons say their way is right and everyone else is wrong, yet they have no proof past books and manuscripts writen by men claiming to have conection with god/gods. I for one will maintain my position that all things are made of energy and when you die the energy in your body returns to the whole. In the even a god reveal themself to mankind i will revise my position.

This isn't a flame war..... <_<

This is an interesting, thought-provoking discussion in my opinion. It's not quite as simple as what you believe, I feel.

Thinking about this though, I began to wonder if there is a heaven/hell at all. I mean, all of the religions have varying stories regarding the beginning of the world as we know it, how can there only be one heaven? And, if there is only one heaven, does that make some religions wrong?

If there are multiple heavens, however, what would happen if any person followed the commandments of more than one religion? What if he blasphemed other ones? What would happen then? Would the soul be split into many pieces in order to go into the different heaven/hells? Wouldn't that be hell in itself?

Tiger, it's a debate in the DEBATE forum. Not a flame war.

I believe there is heaven, hell, and purgatory.

There's always the thought that these are metaphors though. There is a God, but no heaven, hell, or anything in between. It just is a ploy to get humans to do good, and not murder each other.

Also, I'm pretty sure the only guaranteed way to go to hell is to deny the Holy Spirit.

Some pretty cool Einstein quote regarding your post 1337:

"If people are good only because they fear punishment, and hope for reward, then we are a sorry lot indeed."

I know people for who this is the only reason they believe in God.

That's really true.

Btw, where do you get all these quotes?

Religion = Lol'able. This is my opinion.

The fact that one diety rules over all, and you must follow some rules carved into stone is insane to me. The whole concept is farfetch'd.
