[Oh, sweet irony is a wonderful thing]
One of the first things that atheists have to learn is that beliefs don't determine reality. Thus, claiming that hell doesn't exist because one doesn't believe it exists is like a criminal sentenced to death saying; "judge I don't believe in the electric chair."

Hey, dimwit, there are Christians who don't believe in Hell either. You might want to crack open your Bible a bit rather than just pointing to a closed copy of it whenever you feel like spouting off hateful or factually inaccurate nonsense.
And the comparison is just daft anyway. The criminal would be a moron if he were presented with the electric chair and refused to acknowledge its existence. I don't see God irrefutably physically manifesting himself in front of every atheist. If he did, I think it's pretty safe to say that most atheists would convert really quickly.
One of the first things that Carico has to learn is that beliefs don't determine reality. Thus, claiming that hell exists because one believes it exists is like someone saying "I believe the Tooth Fairy exists, therefore she does."
I have to say if God or a being of sufficient power that it'd be indistinguishable from what humans like to think God is like appeared before me as absolute PROOF that such a being existed, I'd convert in a heartbeat. I'd be fucking stupid not to in that situation. But I'm pretty sure that situation will never come up, so I don't have to think of myself as a hypocrite ;)

No, generally atheists have a pretty good grip on that, it's the religious persons who need to learn that.

No, dipshit, there is plenty of evidence both for the existence and the effects of the electric chair. Evidence for hell? Zero, zip, nada, nil.

Acualy,, most atheists already know that.

Hell doesnt exist period, whether or not I believe it exists does not matter one bit. Your feeble comparison is nonsensical
Boy, should we tell her 99% of humanity doesn't believe in the electric chair.
Oh, and telling an imaginary judge his imaginary electric chair doesn't exist... Nah, I'll pass, my list of things to do is quite long enough.
This just in: "In an independent report, according to FSTDT, the irony for october increased by a whopping 200%. Experts predict this might be concidered the new normal level as no signs of sanity have been detected for at least two weeks"

Yeah, I've already figured that out. Why don't you work on it, mkay?

There is evidence that electric chairs exist. Anyone can see it. There is no evidence that any gods exist. Therefore, your comparison is rather flawed.
Confused?
