LOL; I don't think so. There is just so much wrong with that! Just for starters, we atheists generally disbelieve there exists a heaven to 'go to'!
I suppose you could, in theory, have a proper atheist (I would say a proper atheist excludes any atheists that believe in one of the ancient religions that doesn't insist there must be a god ), i.e. someone who disbelieves there is a god and has no belief in any of the ancient religions, inexplicably and idiotically believe there is some kind of supernatural heaven -but that would be a very strange inconsistency and an extreme rarity!

Let's all pray for the success of atheism.

What's the point of being a Catholic, then, if there's a road to heaven that doesn't require Latin chants, prayers, nunneries, and dogmatic mumbo-jumbo?

not a science topic.

This is not the atheist forum or the spirituality forum it's the science forum.


EDIT: also, for the record, when Christians talk about heaven... This is what I think of...

What makes you think that I, or any atheist really, would actually WANT to go to heaven???

However, while you think about that, take it up to spirituality.

I also posted this in the spirituality forum.

Not surprisingly, the point of the post was missed by some. At least sonhouse, wolfgang59, and Soothfast got it.

I don't have to "think about that". If you think hard enough, you may understand why...or maybe not.

Where is the 'Atheist Forum' by the way?
