Comparing Jesus to Elvis? A hillbilly hack who stole all his material from more talented locals. You might be on to something there!

Lies.

I've sat with many people as they've died.  Those not inclined to do not call out to any gods.  And the non religious people tend to be more calm, in general, than the religious ones.

It depends on the person.

Somebody might die in their sleep, or even die with a charging object (penetrating at the speed of sound?)
Or gets beheaded in an ancient battle.

I think once somebody dies; he won't see this dimension anymore. And the wake up for the judgment is quite close.

Huh yeah. Going into a battle, i best get my hands on a machine gun. Swords, Axes, pitchforks, fists and nails are also useful. But bibles? Dunno. It has some weight and if you hit someone in the head with one, might cause damage.

Wait a minute. What about making machine guns shooting bibles? Shit they be claiming to die by the word of their god.

Well, it would be handy for the soldiers.  Especially if it comes in two ply...

Other faiths might have cause to krap themselves, but no true Christian fears death, CHRISTIANS DIE LAUGHING..

Not from my experience.

But then, no True Scotsman dies without his kilt!

Wait...

Let me clarify- it's an old jokey saying that means atheists might well be in foxholes, but when the bombs and shells start coming in they problably murmur a prayer under their breath..

And I know antidote and thus may not count . But as some one who has almost died . A hunting accident in the middle of an ice flow at minus 50 c with broken ankle a gashed leg  and a trashed snowmobile (this is why don't hunt alone I was an idiot) in a place I knew nanuk wandered. And never once did I pray . I instead reflect on how great a life I had . And if bones littered the ice like a thousand before me so be it. The dance of the universe . Why should I think the universe should save me and not the 3 seals I killed earlier. I'm just part of the dance .

God willing, we'll figure this one out together. Then we can delve into that "mysterious" refrigerator light thing.

I'm confused. There's a light in the refrigerator?

Another uncanny similarity between Jesus and Elvis is that they were both seen by eyewitnesses after their deaths! For example here's Elvis caught on street view five years ago rocking in Torquay, England, how kool is that..

1- Good for you mate, most Christians wouldn't pray either if they found themselves in a predicament like yours, they'd take it on the chin and think "Oh well, if I die I die, and that's it"
For examp, 15 years ago I was just out of jail (3 month vigilante rap), homeless, jobless, womanless and near-penniless, living in a tent in a remote wood shivering with near-hypothermia brought on by a wonky thyroid,  but not for once was I downhearted because I was too busy laughing at myself, "Oh great"  I thought, "I've ended up as Bigfoot!"..

2- What makes you think Christians wouldn't die laughing? What have they got to be afraid of?
For examp when Winston Churchill was a young cavalry officer, he found himself unhorsed and alone in a skirmish with the Boers, and as they charged down on him he fully expected to die, and calmly thought "Here at last I take it!"
(But he was rescued by another trooper in the nick of time, sharing his horse)

When atheists die they say to their mates- "Goodbye", but when Christians die they say "See ya later!"..
