Two Questions... Really The Same.
July 30, 2014 at 5:26 pm
If you, as a theist, were wounded on the side of the road, would you accept help from an atheist?

Why or why not?

Yes. Because I don't want to fucking die and we are all human beings, we should act in a spirit of fraternity to each other even if we don't share the same belief system.

As an atheist, yes. Furthermore, I would render what aid I could to a wounded theist. As Blackout intimated, being human trumps religious division (for me, at least).

I don't make a habit of asking people about their religious affiliations before I offer them help or accept help from them.
I mean, honestly, besides from the few extremists and fundamentalists that wouldn't help me anyways if they knew I was atheist, religion hardly ever matters. Most people's religion is a personal thing for them. It has nothing to do with me.

Of course, and were someone in need of my aid, I would not care what they believed. We're all brothers in humanity, and it'd be nice if we started acting like it.

In this hypothetical, the atheist is wearing a Fiction Tshirt, and the theist is wearing a religious Tshirt. Just so you know at a glance.
I would like to think almost everyone would say yes.
