Measles Outbreak at Vaccine-Denying Church

[Mister Agenda]

I'd like Dirch to admit that his "There are no atheists in foxholes" statement was incorrect. Then we can all go about our day.

Don't hold your breath waiting.

His faith is so weak that accepting that atheist soldiers actually serve honorably in combat without falling on their knees and wailing for Jesus to save them would make it crumble. Knowing that his faith is just a house of cards, he'll keep his eyes and ears as closed as necessary to keep that from happening, because if atheists can be brave, God must not exist.

It's the only explanation that makes sense.

If you dislike obstinacy, perhaps you should stop posting offensive drivel?

Just go back to the usual unsupported presuppositions, seriously.

Maybe that is a serious character flaw of mine. I will stand for what is right, and damn the consenquences.

I'll be translating your comments into something more honest:

I will stand for whatever random thought crosses my mind and damn the consequesnces.

I do not care if it is me against the whole world, I will defend what it right till there is nothing left for me to give.

I don't care if anything I say is really true, I will defend whatever I come up with until everyone else is too tired to keep responding.

I believe in absolutes, and when I see an absolute being trampled on (even by member of our society who should normally be held in high regaurd such as ANY military personal, I will speak my peace.)

I believe I'm always right and when I see something that doesn't support my world view I'll make up any BS I like about the people in question.

I in this instance feel a deep obligation to honor the sacrifice made by those heros who have died in combat to hold their deeds, their jobs in a high respect than everyone else in the military.

In this instance I saw something at odds with what I already believed and responded by making idle speculations about alternate scenarios and insulting the men in the photo based on that sheer speculation.

when I see non-combatants represent themselves in a combatant role it is an insult to those who trained, over came their fears, bled, fought and died in the role these posers are trying to ascribe for themselves. Damn their rank and their honor if they try and take or represent themselves as a true hero.

When I see soldiers in a photo saying they are 'atheists in foxholes' I assume they're lying about being in combat because I think an old aphorism some chaplain tossed out in WWII is an actual fact and that entitles me to make up any narrative I like about soldiers I know nothing about.
