That maxim, "There are no atheists in foxholes," it's not an argument against atheism — it's an argument against foxholes.

On the other hand, if you're already on the battlefield...

[–] HikingVet@lemmy.ca 37 points 4 days ago

Praying in that situation splits your attention from staying the fuck alive and is not recommended.

Actually, I've seen a compilation of plane crash last recordings, and literally all of them are pilots screaming at each other to maneuver and/or cursing at the top of their lungs.

What's hilarious is proof that religious propaganda is wrong is always extremely easy to find. Yet your dipshit demented christian grandparents or parents will regurgitate that trash non-stop anyway.

I have never prayed to god and I've never been in a plane crash.

I am constantly praying to god, and I've never been in a plane crash. Checkmate atheists!

I heard one black box where the pilot’s final words were just a very resigned, almost conversational, “Goddamnit.”

[–] n0respect@lemmy.world 30 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago) (3 children)

I heard one where the pilot exclaimed "we're doing it!" [or something similar] as he managed to fly the 747 inverted, seconds before hitting the ocean.

Strong chance my final words will be "Oh shoot, shoooot." Even tho I swear like a sailor, if it's really bad, I go for clean language.

[–] CXORA@aussie.zone 114 points 4 days ago (7 children)

So this person believes their god wants people to be in fear and panic, begging for their lives, and to die anyway? Thats so fucked up.

[–] SkyezOpen@lemmy.world 78 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Christian God is a narcissist and will burn you for eternity for not praising him properly. This is nothing new.

[–] JackbyDev@programming.dev 33 points 4 days ago (12 children)

God breaks his own rules in the ten commandments. God tells us not to be jealous of our neighbors while describing himself as a jealous god.

My favourite part is how people thank God for surviving a disaster. Like, your God put you there and you’re thanking it for saving you from the disaster it put you in? Lol

[–] glorkon@lemmy.world 15 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Yeah. "This violent tornado missed my home so close! Oh thank you, god!"

Noone ever asks why their god created the tornado in the first place. Not even the neighbor whose house has been obliterated. He's probably thanking god for being alive. It's bizarre.

[–] limelight79@lemmy.world 7 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I remember seeing an SUV that had this in vinyl on their back window (paraphrased, I don't remember the exact wording): "RIP so-and-so - God cured his suffering and took him to Heaven."

So, God either gets credit for killing the guy, or he gets credit for saving the guy. No matter what, God comes out as the good guy!

I have no idea how people live in this mindset.

Ok it's funny but black box doesn't record audio from the cabin. Pretty sure it just has like flight data. From the airplane sensors. And logs of actions. ?

[–] Nalivai@lemmy.world 18 points 4 days ago (1 children)

That's what satanic media wants you to think. But actually, everyone on a plane has a microphone and all the audio goes directly to the big black cube in the middle, to be recorded and stored forever.

[–] ignotum@lemmy.world 7 points 4 days ago (1 children)

They ask you to stow the tray if something happens because the microphone is on the underside of the tray and hears you better that way

Is this supposed to make me believe in God? As if people who die in a plane crash know more about the universe than me somehow? Does falling really fast instill some ancient forgotten knowledge in you?

[–] Doctorbllk@slrpnk.net 22 points 4 days ago

I think you may have missed the bottom text

[–] HikingVet@lemmy.ca 7 points 3 days ago

I've gone bungie jumping; no revelations, just adrenaline.

Fallen out of trees; sudden stop hurts like fuck.

Jumped into water from at least 10m; wet, fun.

Other drops at various speed and landings. No ancient forgotten knowledge acquired.

All data I've collected personally indicates you do not get revelations at less than a 50m drop.

Note: not peer reviewed, sample size small, subject survived all falls with no more than minor injuries.

Either prayers don't work, or they make god super duper angry.

[–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 12 points 3 days ago

Ever read the Bible? God is a sadistic, genocidal monster. He probably laughs at plane crashes.

[–] MisterFrog@lemmy.world 35 points 4 days ago (30 children)

This mfer has never heard of selection bias.

What are the bets they're in the US, and hearing about crashes mostly in the US?

Christianity may be the largest religion in the world, but it's a plurality, not a majority.

Yes, a large percentage of the population is religious, that doesn't make their religion true

"Are all our prayers answered? Yes, they are. What people who ask that question often don’t realize is that sometimes the answer to our prayer is "no." Dear God, please make my mother not be crazy. God’s answer: no. Dear God, please let me recover from cancer. God’s answer: no. Dear God, please take away this toothache. God’s answer: alright, but you’re going to be run over by a car."

Praying is wishing, It has the same effect. Sometimes it works, sometimes it don't. It gives us comfort, because our brains are wired like that, if we can't get what we want, maybe some authority can give it to us by asking nicely. Expressing it soothes us. It's like screaming HELP! when you fell down a well. It's not aimed at anyone in particular, it's just a cry for anyone or anything to help you, because you're desperate.

Shit, cats do that. Do they also pray to god?

Yes, and even God can't understand what is it that they want this time.

It doesn't ever work. It just occasionally coincides with reality.

The ones who prayed to Satan were saved.

Doing my morning walk through the churches in my neighborhood and there's two old churches side by side, both rocking out, one sort of blues riffs, one a little more traditional rock. And as I often do, I stood for a moment taking it in - this is the Southern culture I think is fascinating and rich and... then I realize the blues one is now just doing a call and refrain "I don't need no - evidence" over and over, and my dog's like "let's get the fuck out of here" and so we did.

But it's cute for a second if you don't try to focus in on it. This is how religion should be taken in, and then hustle your ass along.
