Atheism is a rejection of the assertion, "there is a god," and it is NOT necessarily the belief that there isn't a god.

Strange, think about it this way, free-will is the ability to make choices, we are not slaves to ourselves or anyone else, we do exactly as we decide consciously and morally. If free-will did not exist, then we'd be merely drones following orchestrated perfections of God's will, which means: this world would perfect and only moral good wold exist, there would be no errors or bad choices. Would you prefer a totalitarian God? lol. What could someone do to deserve eternal punishment? Something similar to Hitler's crime or worse, global genocide, I think you can go too far...enough to the point where you're so far in the dark that God cannot reach out to you no matter how hard he tried. He doesn't want anyone to go to hell quite frankly, it breaks his heart when people doom themselves there by rejecting him, not repenting for their sins (if people didn't repent and their sin stained souls were taken to heaven where sins do not exist then that would cause another Lucifer event more likely...). I still think The Holocaust is completely unforgivable. But God would give him a chance if he was TRULY sorry, remorseful and wanted to change in his heart. But he can only save who comes to him willingly. God has unlimited power but he will not use it to interfere with our free-will without our consent, we have to allow him otherwise, he can call out to us sure but he won't force us to do anything we don't want to. I think God will try to save people that are in hell by using people's suffering to purify their souls so they can be redeemed, (according to Catholics this can be done).

I'm going to bed but I'll link you to one of my stories in the mean time, take your time reading it and analyzing it since it's kinda long lol! Goodnight, great talking with you :)

I'll talk to you later, then. And great talking with you as well.

Could you PM me? I cannot send you a message for some reason, won't go through.

Although I'm starting to think that it would be better if I were called a negative atheist, you could call me an agnostic atheist. Agnosticism and atheism aren't mutually exclusive and neither are agnosticism and theism. My definition of agnostic atheist would be, "one who doesn't believe a god exists but doesn't claim to know that a god doesn't exist."

okay. to me it still sounds like the same thing ;D but what ever feels right to you.

Haha. :)

Atheism and agnosticism aren't mutually exclusive. I'm an agnostic atheist. One either believes that a god exists, or they don't believe that a god exists. You're either a theist or you're an atheist; there's no middle ground.
