IF there is a God, then there will be a consequence for not believing.
I happen to believe there is a God, so I must say yes.
What the consequences are depend on how you are judged and only God can decide that.
No matter what, you will be resurrected and become immortal as a result of the Atonement. You will also undoubtedly go to heaven. LDS believe that everyone but a very small group of people will go to heaven, but those who do not believe in God will not be allowed to be in God's presence or live where God lives.
(at least that is the LDS view)

The way I envision deity, she wouldn't care if someone didn't believe in her. She'd hopefully concern herself with better things.

The consequences of not believing in God are that you will live the life you are living now, as an atheist, instead of living a life that you aren't.
I love my life. The consequences seem good for me. :yes:
Your mileage may vary.

And in the days of those kings the God of heaven will set up a kingdom that will never be brought to ruin. And the kingdom itself will not be passed on to any other people. It will crush and put an end to all these kingdoms, and it itself will stand to times indefinite Daniel 2;44 All manmade goverments will come to there end when Jehovah steps into the affairs of humans, depending on whos side we are on at that time will depend on weather Jehovah thinks we are a rebel and adversary or not ,i am putting my vote in for Jehovah and i am welcoming his sons kingship right now ,then i can be on the right side revelation 7;9-10

And what if people do not believe in me? YOU K(NOW) what? That is their right and privilege. I do not need for anyone to LOVE ME or like ME or acknowledge ME. I AM LOVE, and I certainly have enough LOVE for the many who do not want to believe. I must confess that I find the whole concept of not believing in ME most intriguing.

Good way of explaining the answer in the question

If the 6th dimension is matter, all carbon base life is 6 electrons, 6 photons, and 6 neutrons ..
The 7th dimension is anti-matter it takes seeing a noumenon to understand passed matter and so yes guess it does matter in terms of reincarnation and anything that goes beyond matter.

For God loved the world so much that he gave his only-begotten Son, in order that everyone exercising faith in him might not be destroyed but have everlasting life. For God sent forth his Son into the world, not for him to judge the world, but for the world to be saved through him. ......................yes as it says above he loves the world soooooooooo much, and everyone exersising faith in the one Jehovah has chosen to be his king in the heavenly kingdom goverment ,will not be destroyed .when the appointed time comes for action to start i am making sure that i am putting my vote in before that day comes.i am waving my symbolic palm branch to welcome Jehovahs chosen one ................jesus christ
18From heaven God shows how angry he is with all the wicked and evil things that sinful people do to crush the truthmay said:
What it seems to me to be saying is that the "ungodliness" and "unrighteousness" of non-believers is "the wrath of God" evident in them. That doesn't describe a consequence, so much as the state of non-believing, itself. God is in us, and it is through us that wrath is displayed.

Beliefs are free. (It is one of the very few things in life that are free). Although, like any freedom (and in essence belief is a freedom), there is a chance it can and can't BE abused.
Faith is not free. In fact, faith is very expensive and taxing to one that is trying to develop UNDERSTANDING.

GOD explains to me that there is an understanding that He has as to why humans believe certain things over other beliefs. As GOD explains, believing is indeed a freedom. I think it applies to our capacity for free will. If we have to rely on faith or doubt for something as imperative as knowing a God, where is the freedom of living our life without such a BEing when we discover we are not interested in such a REALationship?

Since I don't believe in gods then there is no consequence. To believe that there are consequences for not believing infers that God exist.

ahhhhhh...but if everything submitts to the will of Allah and nothing would exist if Allah didn't create it then how could you ever defy him.
Wouldn't your very actions be his will since he is the ALL?
Is Allah not the creator of every decision you make? If he isn't then do you mean that there are things that even Allah did not create, has no knowledge of and no control over?
Just curious.....
