Let's take a look at what each, the Christian and the atheist, have to look forward to. First, lets assume the atheist is right, there is no God. When we die, that's it. We shut off like a computer and that is the end of us. No afterlife at all. We will never know that there is no God. Now, lets assume the atheist is wrong, there is a God. When we die, we will stand before Him and account for our life. Pity the poor atheist that has denied God and worked against Him all his life. According to the Bible, the atheist will be condemned. The Christian, however, will be rewarded with everlasting life in Heaven. Now, which future would you want to have????????
This isn't quite correct either... the only one's actually condemned by the Bible when truly translated correctly, or in the original languages, are those who deny God having known God... The atheist having never known God is exempt as far as this life is concerned. He DOES get another chance, though. We all do, actually... Even murderers. The only people who don't are those who deny God knowing God. And as far as the Bible is concerned so far only Cain has been thus condemned.
