If someone was dying and fears hell, Would a atheists tell them the logical thing to do?

I would tell them the truth.

Why fear a mythical place such as hell.

There is nothing to fear in death. It is one of most nature things we will ever do and something that is shared by all living things on this planet.

Wasn't this question just asked? Here is my answer:

That's one of the reasons I like to be knowledgeable about as many religions as I can. I would reassure the person to the best of my abilities within his or her religious beliefs that he or she is not going to hell, that their god loves them and work with them to do whatever their religion requires of them to find salvation or forgiveness. I was in the hospital a couple years ago with a man who had Alzheimer's/dementia, and sometimes he thought he was god, and other times he'd cry uncontrollably that he was going to hell. All I could do is tell him that if he was God, then anyplace that he was had to be heaven, because anyplace that God was had to be heaven. That made him feel so much better, and the nurses started to use that kind of logic with him too. I don't know what became of him, I wish I did.

If the person who is dying is dying before their time then why would god allow that to happen in the first place?

Two) if god was an ALL-loving god then there would be no fear of hell.

Three.. I'd tell the truth it is wrong to give someone false reassurance

i'm completely desensitized to that style of argument at this element. i think of it quite taken aback me that folk might definitely pass around asserting that to human beings the 1st couple of cases yet i do no longer think in hell so its no longer even an effectual scare tactic. Now its uninteresting except they are in individual and extremely lively with that wild obvious look of their eye. Then i might beat a hasty retreat, some human beings get particularly unhinged and violent approximately their non secular ideals. It jogs my memory of a humorous comic strip I observed. It exhibits extraterrestrial beings in a deliver monitoring earth under the place an entire sequence of conflicts are going on. One alien seems to the different puzzled and the different responds the two befuddled "they look struggling with over whose faith/ideals are extra non violent." =) i think of the super element approximately human beings is that we've stepped forward the means for rationality and reason yet it is under no circumstances to declare its elementary for many human beings or widespread that we hire it in many cases a minimum of at this element.

I would comfort them according to their religion. =/

The easy thing to do is often NOT the right thing to do.

Imagine, your computer is broken. You have the option of fixing it meticulously (the right thing to do) or just banging on it with a hammer (the easy thing to do). Which is more logical, eh?

Also, Pascal's Wager is an argument you want to avoid. =)

Not even *close* to logical. This is just a deathbed restatement of Pascal's Wager.

Pascal's wager! Bottoms up, everyone! *Drink*
