Metaphorically speaking of course, I would expect the flames of hell, at least for a little while, since it is my wish to be cremated, taken out to the Gulf stream and scattered.

I believe the fate of atheists after death will be the same as the fate of all of us. Non existence.

The authors of the NT were well acquainted with the 'prophecies' of the OT. They wrote the NT in a way that made the prophecies appear fulfilled. Simple!
Were you there? How can you honestly attribute this view to being a fact? Only faith and.....history.... that has confirmed every biblical prophecy that transpired as an event that was not only real, but fulfilled to the very "t". What prophets of any other religion can say the same thing? Not one.

always entertaining to see people act like they're knowledgeable on a certain topic and try to belittle other people's beliefs, only to show how ignorant and clueless they are about what they're trying to argue. the "dead sea scrolls" right? gnosticism? you showed them there buddy

the dead sea scrolls discovery contained many documents, most of which (and most importantly) were texts from the hebrew bible.. i.e the old testament. i.e judaism. what you meant to say was the hag nammadi texts discovered in egypt which contained some gnostic and some not so gnostic texts. gospel of thomas, mary magdalen, truth etc.
further researching this on your own will also lead you to discover that your assessment is wrong. better luck next time.
