Of course, we all will burn bright some day. After all, we are nothing but stardust, and billions of years from now, what is left of our atomic makeup, will become stardust again. No magic needed.
Read and learn. Current knowledge, not something superstitious, itinerant desert goat herders dreamed up around their campfires 2000 years ago.

I already made the right choice -- to refrain from superstition and wasting my life believing in ancient gods that do not even belong to our culture, ethnicity or geographical region. In fact, the god most people in this country bow down to did not even "choose" them but rather "chose" some other tribe a long time ago (but of course that tribe was chosen considering that tribe was the one who invented God in the first place -- why would you invent a god who chose someone else, after all.)

Maybe your a HYPER NOVA?

Because our salvation is of God -- not the fickle whim of man.
You would have thought that if God was at all concerned with salvation, he would have started immediately and not wasted several thousand years doting on the Hebrews while ignoring everyone else.
Of course, no one seems at all puzzled by the fact that God never once tried to convert anyone -- or ordered the Hebrews to try and convert anyone -- in the Old Testament. In that book, anyone who wasn't an Israelite was simply put to death, not saved.
There was no salvation before the Christ Cult came along -- and even today, the original Hebrews do not believe that the salvation offered by the Christ Cult is necessarily real.
It just seems rather odd that God would withhold his son for tens of thousands of years, making no mention of the Hebrews even upon the Creation of the World (were Adam and Eve Hebrew and, if not, where did Hebrews come from and why did they make such a sudden appearance? How did they evolve? What caused a split between Jews and Gentiles? Considering Hebrews and the rest of us are often physically different, how did this occur and why is there no mention of this in the Bible?)
But no one seems to care about this rather strange anomaly and simply continue to blindly worship even though they, themselves were never chosen by Yahweh for salvation and that the Hebrews themselves do not believe that their very own messiah is, in fact, their messiah. Which is to say that Christians are following the wrong guy.
The REAL Hebrew messiah may have absolutely nothing at all planned for Gentiles ... meaning that all the rest of us should have gotten our own god a long time ago ... but didn't. I guess we were just too lazy.
Not that it matters for we atheists since we don't believe in gods to begin with, but it just demonstrates one of the reasons WHY we don't believe.
SOME of us actually THINK about these things and realize that, when scrutinized with rudimentary critical thought, logic, and comparative historical study, what we're taught in Sunday School wilts like a flower in a drought.
But hey, whoever said that religion is supposed to make a lick of sense, right? *shrug*
