I think it is. When facing a life threatening situation, I'd bet my brand new Macbook that you atheists would turn to God. Agree?

I have no idea what I'd do if faced with that kind of situation, fear of death makes people do all sorts of things, things that cannot be predicted. I don't see what that has to do with anything though, a few people converting under extreme stress is hardly evidence is it? For what it's worth I'd be amazed if in all of history there's never been an atheist who has faced a life threatening situation without becoming religious, I'm sure it does happen but I'm sure it's not always.

So you are saying that when atheists face their demise they change their mind? Well if that were true how do you explain Christopher Hitchens (author of 'God Is Not Great')? He has terminal cancer but continues to go out of his way to advocate an atheistic viewpoint in his appearances & writings despite the advanced state of his disease.

I've added a link below so you can see this is true with your own two eyes. When can I expect to recieve the brand new Mac Book? Ironically my one is dying on me (& it is still an atheist too!)

Thank you for the brand new Macbook. I LOVE IT!

Actually if anything in reality if you face enough situations like that and bounce back you are probably uusally a positive atheist.

Nope.

I've twice been held at gunpoint, once been chased by an elephant, and was also in a plane whose engines stopped.

Not once did I think of calling out to any deities, nor superheroes either, for that matter.

Bloody hell. You are delusional.
I am an ex-christian, and ex-army. I have already faced a life threatening situation.


Hand over your Macbook.

I'm sure a few soldiers and marines would beg to differ. With all of the sh!thole places some of them been to is proof enough to some that any loving god would not allow for such things to happen.

Gimme your MacBook.

My truck was blown up three times. I was shot at countless times. Had RPGs and artillery lobbed at me. Not once did I find myself believing in god.

Nope, try studying history a little more-The Abraham Lincoln Brigade-was a socialistic atheistic organization that volunteered to fight fascism before the majority of "god Fearing" Americans were drafted in ww 2
