No Atheists in Foxholes
Advertisements [?]
I was reading through the interesting thread regarding atheism and politics. It reminded me of a recent debate I had with a co-worker who reminded me (at least so he thought), that given the right situation, everyone falls on their knees and begs God for forgiveness and mercy. I called bull. He told me that war in particular brings about mass conversions. I personally believe that many lose their faith as a result of seeing the fruits of war.
