$\"foxhole$ <\/p>\n

You\u2019ve heard the expression \u201cThere are no atheists in foxholes.<\/em>\u201d Which means that everybody under extreme threat will seek out a divine power to intervene and save them. No one is quite sure who coined the phrase. Obviously a believer.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve witnessed it. Heck, I\u2019ve done it!<\/p>\n

But I\u2019ve also witnessed the opposite. Heck, I\u2019ve even done that too! I\u2019ve seen and personally experienced people under extreme threat who realize their faith has totally evaporated.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m convinced that we need to get in touch with our atheism, our unbelief. Is there a separate \u201cDeity\u201d out there? Is there a Divine Interventionist? If asked if I\u2019m a deist or a theist, I say not really. If I\u2019m asked if I\u2019m an atheist, I also say not really. Although it might unsettle some, I\u2019m okay with that.<\/p>\n

I have been an atheist in a foxhole. You might be one now. That\u2019s okay.<\/p>\n
