I am an atheist in the sense I do not believe in any God, although I am fully aware that I cannot prove no God of any kind does not exist, and a God may in fact exist.
Your saying, and correct Me if I am wrong;
You do not believe in any God. And,
You have no evidence that God does not exist.
Therefore, God may in fact exist.
My question to you is, Why
believe in some thing that may actually be false?
(By the way, do not think about what you believe in, just concentrate on answering the question itself.)

If you are confident that jesus was not God, then you must be confident about what God IS. So, what IS God?
Or, if you do not know what God is but you only know what God is not as you appear confident about, then what else is God not?
Science Fan wrote: ↑Mon Jun 12, 2017 12:38 am This means that according to Christian scripture, I am now headed for hell, regardless of anything I shall do with the rest of my life.
Could your interpretation of christian scripture be wrong?
Could, in fact, you already be in hell?

There will be nothing to look forward to but the terrible punishment of God's awful anger, which will consume all his enemies." (Hebrews, 10:26-27).
A few questions here;
What is meant by 'sins'?
How exactly do you reject the savior?
If there is a second coming could you become more enlightened to the scriptures then?
Do you know the truth of forgiveness? If so, what is it?
What is the actual 'sin' that will not be covered by christ's death, and how and why it is that there is no way to get rid of that sin?
What do you imagine God's "awful" anger would look like and how that anger would actually consume all of It's enemies?
Could God show anger by consuming It's enemies with love?
Who/what are God's enemies?
By the way I still do not know why human beings persist with calling God a he, so why do you call God a he?
Once the words that are written are fully understood, then answering all these types of questions is really very simple and easy. The answers by the way are just about nothing like that what you assume them to be also. Unless of course you can prove Me wrong here.

Human beings who call themselves, and thus are labelled, as "christians" are no more wiser to the meanings of the words (the scriptures) in the bible as you are. Most just think and say they are wiser.
The reason these human beings want to convert you to what they believe is for the exact same reason you want to convert others to what you believe. ALL adult human beings (mis)behave this way. You all think you are wiser than you really are.
Science Fan wrote: ↑Mon Jun 12, 2017 12:38 am What motive could they possibly have to convert atheists like me, who cannot go to Heaven, and are headed to Hell, even if we were to accept Jesus? Wouldn't it make more sense for Christians to actually completely ignore us atheists, since they consider us doomed anyway?
What motive could
you possibly have to convert "others" not like you, who cannot go to where you are going, and who are naturally headed on another path from you, even if they were to accept you (your word)? Would it not make more sense for others to actually completely ignore
you, since they consider you (partly or mostly) wrong anyway?
Science Fan wrote: ↑Mon Jun 12, 2017 12:38 amI would actually enjoy not being bothered by a Christian knocking on my door during my weekends, trying to convert me, which is why I am interested in the answer to this question.
Well answer the question of why you do it, openly and honestly, then you will KNOW why they do it.
Have you ever considered that others would also actually enjoy not being bothered by you, who has your own distorted beliefs,"knocking on their door" (or in other words talking to them) during any day, trying to convert them?
Have you not noticed any resemblance between you on here, in this forum, in how you try to convert others, to your way of thinking, from how others try to convert you, to their way of thinking?
I see the exact same thing going on with all of you. You, all, believe in things, and to maintain those beliefs you, all, try to convert "others" to see the same way as
you do.
If instead of functioning this way, with a very narrow field of view to see things, and you opened up the way you looked at things, then you would see things for what they truly are. The more open you are the more you can see. So, if you are fully open, then ALL is revealed and seen.
