In these threads, the atheists are all like, "Well, I'm that one guy." I'm sorry. I don't buy it. I've played enough poker to know the difference between the talk and the action. I just think a lot of the responses to these threads are all talk and no trouser.
You obviously do not have children. In other things I would agree with you. If there is a person with a gun to my head, there are not a lot of things they could ask of me that I would refuse. I don't claim to be brave or courageous. My only claim is that I have 3 children who I brought into this world. They are mine and I love them more than I could ever describe to you. I would die rather than let someone harm them and I have the physical scars to prove that. There is no person or god or anything scary enough to convince me to harm my children. If there were a god. Absolutely undeniably real and it were to order me to shoot you in the face I would do so shamefully, but without hesitation. If it were some big scary powerful monster like the one in the bible it could probably convince me to go on a killing spree, maybe even close friends and/or family members. I would be ashamed and I would hate myself for being so weak, but I would do it.
Not my children though. Absolutely not.
