If you are justifying your worldview by pointing out that people under duress fall back on it then there is clearly something wrong.Hausdorffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01690401058367596952noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5442584566219442310.post-68827612151229530862012-09-16T06:59:24.296-04:002012-09-16T06:59:24.296-04:00Also if an atheist were to have a relapse in a bat...Also if an atheist were to have a relapse in a battle that would not prove anything. The testimony of people, who are under extreme duress, is not reliable.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5442584566219442310.post-44879454003874141182012-09-05T11:31:20.608-04:002012-09-05T11:31:20.608-04:00I love the change in perspective there. Something ...I love the change in perspective there. Something that seems reasonable from your side of things might look silly from a different angle. I imagine most Christians wouldn't see your example as the same thing, but some might.Hausdorffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01690401058367596952noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5442584566219442310.post-73365851630772539122012-09-04T17:06:21.713-04:002012-09-04T17:06:21.713-04:00"There are no atheists in foxholes" is j..."There are no atheists in foxholes" is just as absurd as saying, "Christians don't really believe in an afterlife because they fear death." It's just a blanket statement where you assume what people believe, or don't believe. <br /><br />If, say a Hindu, was to say something like, "no one who is facing the possibility of death can possibly not believe that they will be reincarnated," the statement would be rightfully be considered just as absurd.<br />JKerberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06334114886976784914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5442584566219442310.post-60221910110183403342012-09-04T09:46:43.297-04:002012-09-04T09:46:43.297-04:00Thanks :)
