Would you still be a skeptic in Heaven?
No.
To quote Bertrand Russell on the subject of being questioned by god as to why he didn't believe... "Not enough evidence, god".
If he puts me in hell for unsubstantially not believing in him without evidence, then that's his beef.
It's not something I worry about... Death will just be as it was before I was born.
Would you still be a monotheist in Valhalla?
"Without evidence" would not be your excuse, that is for sure, you'll have to conjure up something else.
If it was simply a matter of intellectually scruitinizing evidence, then there would be no need for faith as the bible clearly says you as a believer should have.
You're starting from ground-zero Kenny, God says that those who don't admit that there must be a Creator of all we see in nature is a liar.
-a 'book' that has been written by men that has a plethora of contradictions in it, that is also very, very vague scientifically is not evidence
I will go to my grave wondering why so many people think the Bible is solid evidence.
YOU'll have to come up with something better than that dude.
Wait, I can be a skeptic and still get into heaven?
No.
God did not say that. Men in a desert thousands of years ago did. I don't take too kindly to being called a liar by idiot men from the past
It is they who are the liars. If god wants to call my a liar, then you tell him to say it to my face instead of having simpletons say it for him.Even if the old testament is the words of god... then god can kiss my ass and learn not to be such a vindictive prick.
Then I will never see evidence to contradict my assumptions?
You might, who knows?

That's been my mentality for quite sometime dude.
I mean really, who would want to worship such a vindictive, wrathful god who claims to be benevolent?
He died upon the Cross to bear the burden of your Sins, is that vindictive and wrathful?
Don't cherrypick like that. There is plenty in there that is vindictive... but don't worry, that's not your god... that's just man trying to scare people into their rules.
My "sins" didn't even happen yet.
If that's true then logic and reason died with him.
No he supposedly died on the cross for our sins because God messed up in the very beginning and had to find some sugarcoated way of playing it off.
If God is omnipotent, he has the power of wiping out anyone's sins from any time period w/o having to send his 'only begotten son'. Please.
