Question to the abrahamics here.

Let's take a person (We'll call him A).
Now A is a good person, he's lived his life well, he's also done well with his life.

He's never heard about the bible, god, jesus etc.

Is he going to hell?

Just need to know what you guys think.

Bump.

Bump.

Grave = Hell

Hmm...silly question to ask an atheist. Since atheists do not believe in hell, our typical answer is:

"No, Person A is not going to hell -- Person A is going to rot in the earth, forever and ever."

Well, I guess corpses don't last quite that long.

Fundamentalist teachings

During my younger years when I still beleived the fundy god/jesus fairytale I was taught that anyone who was not "saved" would burn in hell. What that basically boiled down to was anyone who was born in an area that did not have any belief in or knowledge of the abrahamic god was doomed to eternal hellfire and torture. Pretty disgusting, isn't it?

I used to be one

I used to be a fundamentalist christian. I used to firmly believe if you didn't believe in my church's version of god and weren't saved by my church's version of Jesus, you were going to hell. I used to believe jews, bhuddists, catholics, lutherans, muslims, etc were going to hell. ANYONE who didn't believe what my church believed, whether they had ever been exposed to christian dogma or not, was going to hell in the opinion of my former church. I no longer believe in hell as I don't believe in any gods, but this is what fundamentalist christianity taught me: "If you are not one of us, you are going to hell." I hope this answers your question.
