My personal belief is that atheists are going to be stuck in purgatory?

People isn Purgatory are saved, and will eventually enter Heaven.

As to how God treats each atheist, I don't know, but to those who refuse in this life,

I have my doubts on their salvation.

There's no such place as purgatory. When we die, we are judged and sent either to heaven or hell. There's no purgatory where you get better and getter. It's too late to be saved once you die, so it's better to get saved now. Then you can go into eternity to be with Jesus

Anyone can play that, let play a Norse religion believer my personal belief is that Christians are going to be stuck in Hel yes with one L? the Norse underworld isn’t described often in the sources, when it is, it’s generally cast in neutral or even positive terms. As a place where the dead live on in some capacity, it’s sometimes portrayed as a land of startlingly abundant life on the other side of death. The dead in Hel spend their time doing the same kinds of things that Viking Age men and women did: eating, drinking, fighting, sleeping, and so forth. It wasn’t a place of eternal bliss or torment as much as it was simply a continuation of life somewhere else. See the difference?

Christians eyes are open but not all the way open. They refuse to see other possibilities. Perhaps if Christians opened his or her mind a bit, the truth would settle in... all knowing father Odin... What do you think?

How many options did you consider before choosing your religion? Did you PROPERLY research at least all the major ones - Christianity, Islam, Hinduism, Buddhist, Chinese traditional, Sikhism and Judaism? And then research which denomination - Roman Catholic, Coptic, Orthodox, Protestant etc?

My belief is, it's really none of my business what other people do or do not believe in. And.. I know who I am, and how this whole thing works for me. But I don't know how it works for them. Not everyone is the same as you, or has a brain that functions in exactly the same way as yours!

One thing that has really gotten this point across to me, more than perhaps anything else..? Is: I've got a close friend who's basically the polar opposite of me, in just about every single way. Which has oftentimes made me very frustrated! And at times, it might feel like: "really, why are we even friends?" Because on many levels, he can't give me what I really crave in a friendship. In terms of deep emotional connection, and exchanges, and the whole nine yards.. But he's a sweet person, in his own way. He's kind, and incredibly accepting! He's an amazing listener! And just.. we've got a LOT of past memories together. So I will always care about him, no matter what. <3

Anyway, this guy is also autistic. And I don't know how much you guys know about autism..? But suffice to say, people on the spectrum are neurologically different from other people! They're also unique, of course. Just like non-autistic people are unique. But they've often got certain things in common, that overlap. And one thing that is true for my friend, which is also true for MANY autistic people? (Although not all.) Is: when it comes to spirituality, and that kind of thing..? He just plain doesn't get it. His mind just doesn't work that way! It's just as abstract and confusing to him as emotions, and emotional context! In fact even MORE so, I'd say... And that's definitely NOT due to any ill will on his part! Like I said, he is also incredibly accepting! It's just.. he does not experience life that way. His brain just plain doesn't go there! So he's an atheist by sheer DEFAULT, kind of... Always has been. And I don't see that changing, ever. In the same way as, if you have always been asexual, it is incredibly unlikely that you're one day going to wake up and be sexual, in exactly the same way as other people! Many things about ourselves, we can change with time... But there are also some hard limits, that are just always going to be there. Because they go very deep, and are perhaps based in inborn brain structures that are not really flexible in that way.. And for my friend, and I'm sure other people like him..? I feel like their lack of spirituality, and spiritual experience, is very much a HARD limit. And not something they could just choose to change, if they sufficiently "opened themselves up to it", or whatever... I mean, this dude has got no understanding of what "opening himself up to it", or indeed "it", even means, to begin with! And speaking as someone who spent many years as an atheist, myself..? I've noticed that he's a very different kind of atheist than I ever was. Who is that way for markedly different reasons.

My personal belief is that atheists are going to be stuck in purgatory?

- And then you wonder why we think you idiots. The church has already said that limbo/purgatory were made up from Dante's Inferno in 1300. It is all a church fantasy to sucker you into giving them money.

What do you think?

- We actually do think, you obviously don't.

Your personal belief is not in accordance with reality. In other words: It is nonsense.

Nothing indicates that the stories about an afterlife might be true or that there might be any kind of afterlife.

"Their eyes are open but not all the way open."

You are the one who does not know how to tell fiction and reality apart.

"They refuse to see other possibilities."

I see them, and I can tell you that stories about gods are fictional. Just like stories about superheroes.

"What do you think?"

I think you don't care enough about the difference between fiction and reality.

I think you need to open your mind a bit and see other possibilities. Most atheists were formerly religious. It's not that we failed to see what you see; it's that we were able to see THROUGH the scam.

Things that are the truth can be demonstrated to be true. Maybe you should work on that if you want other people to accept it in that way. Making bald, unsupported claims and thinly veiled insults towards the people who don't see things your way isn't likely to accomplish that.

Then you are a complete MORON.

The Pope himself said Purgatory does not exist and it was his church that invented it.
