Christians: Are atheists separated from God?

Yes, but in hell there is going to be gnashing of the teeth and that does not sound too good to me. We all will get the new resurrection bodies that will last

Hi Freethinker, I think the "burning" separation one experiences in "hell" is understood in our human flesh bodies to a degree.

Someone you unconditionally, a spouse, a Mum, Dad, other family member or the biggie, if you have children. To be in another place- away from them is a burning feeling to me. I need to be near my children ( when they were small ) . Same rule applies.

Separation from God will crete that longing if you will.

that is each and every physique's inner combat to tutor they're ideal. That way that area of them interior isn't a lie. we don't % to stay a lie, so we combat not hassle-free to disprove one anothers perspectives or ideals. the subject is that we are going to not purely save it own. If a christian retains their faith to themselves and shall we others stay their lives then its positive, and if an atheist would not circulate out of his/her thank you to bash on a christian for believing in something than the christian is positive with the atheist. the subject is neither do this. The christian the two feels he has to save the atheist or a minimum of stick up for his or her faith, and the atheist feels its incorrect for the christian to purpose to save them and that they factor out each and all of the "information and theories" that ought to disprove the christians perspectives. consistent with threat they attempt it to fill the vacancy they have interior. maximum christians sense comprehensive i've got faith and are often circumstances much less hateful then say an atheist.

"If God exists, aren't atheists already separated from Him? Why don't they feel the pain of Hell already?"

EXCELLENT !

And, why have I had such a great life till now?

I've spent a lifetime having fun, doing sex, drugs and rock and roll (I'm pretty straight these days); I've had good jobs close to the top and earned Buku dollars; my health is surprising good and I have enough money to see out any amount of years very comfortably AND for extra fun I blaspheme quite a bit.

Now, IF there was an talking-donkey riding, invisible sky-dwelling monster who could do some bad stuff to me, shouldn't 'he' have done it already?

Why is 'he' taking it out on poor little black kids in Darfur?

It's almost as if there is NO talking-donkey riding, invisible sky-dwelling monster at all, huh?

Right now they are not completely separated from God, nor do they have a full consciousness of their sin and guilt.

Right now, God is still "present" with the unbeliever insomuch as God provides their very breath. And they receive the " common grace" of life, that is, God doesn't give them death right now.

When they die, however, they will have a fully functioning conscience, they will be aware of the depths of their depravity, and will realize how great was the mercy that they scoffed at. They will spend an eternityof regret and despair so horrible that the Bible describes it as a lake of fire.

EDIT:

You know enough to tell right from wrong. Even a five year old knows its wrong to lie and steal.

Gee whiz>> I felt cut off from him when I WAS a christian! maybe because there was no one there!!

You are using Pascal's Wager to try and defend us to the christians!

Don't bother on my account!

I am living my life for today, and tomorrow! I don't give a damn about the non existent afterlife!

I feel sorry for those that are ignoring the here and now, and dreaming about heaven, when there is no such place! The sad part is that they will never even know that there IS no heaven! AS when they die, that is>>THE END!!!!!

And wouldn't you just get used to it after awhile? jk

Seriously... if a hell exists... then God created it. Why would he create a hell to begin with? Why all the struggle?

Seems like a pretty crappy design for a universe and an existence if you ask me.
