updatemachine:It's not a matter of level, your ring can do something that isn't natural, they are offering money for you to show them something that isn't natural. Your ring can do that, go for it. By my estimation, the total sum is more than $2million 1 Like |

hopefulLandlord: This is a report from a soldier himself June 1916 “The Times” of London printed a comment from a soldier as reported by the Lord Mayor of London: 6 I can tell you, Sir, there are no atheists in the trenches. There is something in the air which tells us, when most eager to fight for our country, that we must trust to a Higher Power. I agree with you, there may be some few atheist who still keep to their non god existence during bombardment...but most atheist soldiers who go to war and face near death experience do reconsider their faith....even those who are beliver but are not very strong in faith redouble their faith ...there was a US report that indicate it... Check a picture of some soldiers praying in war front... 1 Like

vaxx: No doubt there may be atheists that become religious in hostile situations but this thread is challenging the saying that all atheists would definitely call on a god in such situations I do not know how valid the 1916 quote you gave is but I'd rather ask atheists soldiers themselves than ask third parties as the bias of a third party might come to play, I gave the story of a soldier who faced impending death but didn't call on any god on the first page, I prefer such over third or fourth hand accounts 2 Likes 1 Share |

hopefulLandlord:that quote was from an academic research paper...i can't post all on this page becuse of plagiarism.... You may as well do you own research online to justify the claim The truth of the matter is.....some athiest can still remain adamant even to the point of death....that is his unchanging dogma...they are many Christian who prefer to die just to say the shaadah ( Islamic attestation of faith) even at the point of daggar or gun ...so the same with Muslim who wear the garment of bomb to kill himself for the sake of Allah....(fear do not take its cause...it is their belive and dogma which supersedes their fear .. My argument here is base on general view of any rational human being who exhibit a complete character of fear and anxiety at the pont of danger....be you solder or civilian... We are both human with this natural quality ...it is normal we still hope to live or survive despite the closeness to death. In time of extreme stress and difficulty.. study by University of Oxford psychologists also suggests that faith in the explanatory and revealing power of science increases in the face of stress or anxiety. To empirically examine the question, "Are there atheists in foxholes?" Cornell University behavioral economist, Brian Wansink examined 949 post-combat surveys of World War II American infantrymen and observed that these soldiers' reliance on prayer rose from 42% to 72% as the battle intensified. To test the lasting impact of combat on religious behavior, a follow-up survey was conducted 50 years later with a different sample of veterans from all branches of service. First study of the sample included analysis of archived World War II surveys after a battle and showed a soldier’s reliance on prayer rose from 32% to 74% as the battle intensified.The second study showed that 50 years later, many soldiers still exhibited religious behavior, but it varied by their war experience. Soldiers who faced heavy combat (vs. no combat) attended church 21% more often if they claimed their war experience was negative, but those who claimed their experience was positive attended 26% less often. The more a combat veteran disliked the war, the more religious they were 50 years later. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/There_are_no_atheists_in_foxholes 1 Like |

hopefulLandlord:.’ In the end, saying there are no atheists in foxholes may be less of an argument against atheism than it is against foxholes.” This is what you are likely directiing me toward....I have read it in details... Right? |
Re: "There Are No Atheists In Foxholes" How True Is That? by hopefulLandlord: 12:33pm On Oct 10, 2017 |
vaxx: if you studied the link very well you'll see the study didn't study atheists, it only studied soldiers in general which is actually a big issue when we get down to the specifics; a study of atheist soldiers would've been more accurate as being irreligious=/= atheism secondly, they said soldier's reliance on prayers rose to 72%, that still doesn't tell us who amongst these guys that now relied on prayers were actually atheists to begin with, I've met theists who also don't rely on prayers (they rely more on action), that doesn't make them atheists, does it? thirdly, below was your point My argument here is base on general view of any rational human being who exhibit a complete character of fear and anxiety at the pont of danger....be you solder or civilian... We are both human with this natural quality ...it is normal who still hope to live or survive despite the closeness to death. In time of extreme stress and difficulty.. of course I can't argue against that, everyone hopes to survive and everyone has fears but that doesn't mean much in this discussion or is there something I'm missing? 2 Likes |

hopefulLandlord:that is why I actually do not really know what you are directing me to do.... I copy the above quote as a suggestions of what you mean but since you have clarify it.. The research study the general behavior of solder and atheist inclusive.... It will be wrong to specifically study atheism alone....since the puporse of the research is to compare and contrast.... The last sentence indicate it... I simply indicate that atheist who reject prayer at the point of danger do not do it becuse of their wish but becuse their dogma and belive supersed their Fear.... It is normal you wish for an invincible helper to aid you in point of danger...the report indicate 1 Like |
