What do you think happens when Atheists die?
When Atheists die, how do you think they react when they have to answer to God. Do you think they believe then, even though it's too late, or do you think they are in denial.

They'll probably experience close to the same if not the same thing everyone experiences (or doesn't) when they die.

"What do you think happens when Atheists die?"
-The same as I think happens to anyone else. Their consciousness ends and disappears forever.
"When Atheists die, how do you think they react when they have to answer to God."
-I don't think that will happen, but if I were to entertain the idea, I would need to know which God you were talking about. And I'm sure it would vary quite a bit from person to person, so I'm not sure I could make an accurate generalization.
"Do you think they believe then, even though it's too late, or do you think they are in denial."
-I would imagine that most people would believe when put in that situation. Well, believe that he exists, anyway. There would still be a lot of other things that wouldn't be answered just by looking at him.

I have a theory that people can still think, even though their hearts stopped, because the oxygen from the blood powers the brain, and if the oxygen and nutrients go out, then brain cells die. So we will just lay and wait untill all the brain cells are dead, then we rot. There is no such thing as a "soul" it is simply what we call our personality. So the soul is all in our heads and so is god, because we think he exists, since we made him up. And, if you have a revelation or vision, that is probably a dream that you are having or it is just the obscesion causing your mind to holucinate. Anyway, all people rot when they die.

"Atheists" does not have to be capitalized unless it is at the beginning of a sentence.
When atheists die, they cease to exist, just like everyone else.
What do people gain from imagining things to be any other way? Does it do something for them to imagine these bad atheists having to "answer to God", like disobedient children? Really? Does believing in that contribute to humanity in any kind of positive way? Does it give them a self-righteous little thrill? A sense of superiority? A sense that, even though the bad, bad atheists might be enjoying life now, they will suffer for it someday?
If so, there just isn't enough love in the world, not enough at all.

Provided my wishes are kept, my body will be used to medical research. So even beyond death I hope I'll be helping people in some way. There's no evidence of a god. If there is one, what says it's yours? Every other religion has a story just as believable as yours.

Same thing that happens when people who believe in god die...just be a good person, that's all that matters.

Well you see if I have to answer to God when I die, of course I will believe in him, because he's right in front of me! Too bad he's a joke

I know that the same thing will happen to them as believers, Nothing, they cease to exist.

When they die they will wonder why everyone is Mormon. They will then start taking the missionary discussions!
