There is no heaven as christians think of it.*
Well, there's no heaven the way Catholics think of it, and since you're thinking of their heaven, you're right, in a way.
*and even if we do not vanish after we die, we go to one place (we all) not only christians.*
Straight out of the Bible...
Yea, though he live a thousand years twice told, yet hath he seen no good: do not all go to one place?
(Ecclesiastes 6:6, KJV).
For that which befalleth the sons of men befalleth beasts; even one thing befalleth them: as the one dieth, so dieth the other; yea, they have all one breath; so that a man hath no preeminence above a beast: for all is vanity.
(Ecclesiastes 3:19, KJV).
*christianity is only one of the beliefs on our planet.*
Of course, it's the only correct one.
BTW, I'm not talking about the Catholic crap that most people think is Christianity.
*there are many more and even more ancient thn christianity.
therefore I consider earth to be the best place to be and I intend to enjoy my time here as much as I can. After, we'll see.
Even your god sent his "son" here on earth to educate*
You're on the right track about the earth thing.
After all, we have feet not wings.
We, and so far not you, will indeed be here on earth after the resurrection.
And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.
And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God.
(Revelation 21:2,3, KJV).
Christians will be right here on earth.
So far, you're headed for the lake of fire, unless you repent (change your mind).
*I'm rich because I value what I have. you, however want more. christians are greedy.*
So?
*give them life, give them love, give them heaven, trash their enemies into hell, give 'em food and give them peace. and all for themselves, by some mysterious purpose considering them to be better then other believers, better thn atheists, better thn bacteria! *
Sounds pretty good, except I'm not better than you, just saved.

Sometimes I come across bible contradiction sites, and they're a good laugh, so I browse them.*
Yeah!
Most of them seem to rely heavily on some serious dyslexia to create contradictions.
But they ARE funny.

Actually tony, getting into heaven does not require you to go to church, or believe in a specific religion over other ones. Modern religions have simply taken the ideas of the famous story of Jesus and completely botched them for who-knows-what reason. I believe if God really did exist, he would care more if you spent your life giving to others and loving your fellow people than if you went to church and confessed every other Friday.
I know I'm not going to heaven, because it doesn't exist. But even if it did, you are still wrong in saying there will be no atheists there.*
Either it exists or it doesn't.
In any case, no one's going to be there, so there STILL won't be any atheists there.
Besides, how could getting into heaven require or not require anything if it doesn't exist?
You need to spend some time reviewing your thought processes because they seem to be generating some self-contradictory stuff.
*However, it's about time we focused our attention on things that really matter, such as eliminating hunger, curing disease and colonizing another planet (after all, the Earth cannot support much more, if we don't pack it up and move in a few hundred years there will be nothing left of humanity).*
Things were OK until science started to be taught.
Now things are going for shit.
I realize that it's a stretch for you to see the connection, but it should be pretty obvious.

Good question.
No.
*Oh dear.....*sighs* men and thier over-use of superlatives. And here I was taking such compliments seriously. *

This is connected to no atheists in heaven, how?
