As I lay in my bath tub this morning my mind wondered into this little sillyphosical topic. As my pappy and his brethren were fond of saying, “there are no atheists in foxholes.” Their proof was that under stress of life threatening danger, many atheists were heard saying, “Oh God!!” or “God Help Me!!”
There is only one flaw in this faulty logic and that is that most of the time and most of the people in situations of dire stress will shout out “Oh Shhhiiiitt!!!” I have read that from many different sources over the years but I can’t prove it statistically, but if you are honest with yourself, even the religious (I know that is difficult for you) you would have to admit you probably have said it more often than, “Oh God!”
Does this not seem, using the theist’s rational, that more people believe in Shhiitt than in god? Or is it that they believe that god is shhiitt or that shhiitt is god? I realize that not too many religious people will give this much thought as it might be a strain to do a little critical thinking, but if just one person questions their beliefs, it will have been worth posting this.
