The statement "There are no atheists in foxholes" is a proverb use to argue that in times of extreme stress or fear, such as in war, all people will believe in, or hope for, a higher power to protect them - more referred to as "God."
This is, indeed, ticklish; but what is even more ticklish is that no one has ever found a dead Christian in a foxhole who did not first pray before he died! Well, if there were no atheists in foxholes, it is because there is also neither wisdom nor understanding either. There is only ignorance and fear that produced foxholes.
For my part, I am an atheist. I did not lose my faith. I threw the holy garbage out the window! Of course, it is obvious that there are no atheists in foxholes. There is never any room left for the atheists to be down in foxholes. It is already crowded with hate, a Standing Room Only situation filled up with Christians, Muslims, Jews hating and killing each other in God's name on earth and for His glory in heaven.I say it is more truthful to declare that there are no atheist officials in the government and no atheist leaders in the church. Look how these two great institutions are the most corrupt and rotten in our poor and backward country. Both entities could only survive with lies and deceptions especially to protect each other existence in cahoots
together. In the meantime, the religious morons are never able to understand the
atheists. To begin with - in the history of the world, how come there
never was an army of atheists waging war against another army of
atheists because they did not believe in the existence of God!.
Listen to this great scientist/astronomer/atheist Carl Sagan: -
"Every one of us is, in the cosmic perspective, precious. If a human
disagrees with you, let him live. In a hundred billion galaxies, you
will not find another."
For my part, I would love to be inside a foxhole. Inside those believers there, I'd like to ask: "have any of you ever heard of a Poor Filipino who got to be FILTHY RICH by believing that God is BAD? So how come a great many Filipinos are FILTHY POOR for believing that God is GOOD! - - -Poch Suzara
