I've always thought that a “non-atheist in a foxhole” is a *very* scared person.

Also I think there was something about praying publicly instead in your home in the Bible 

@pzmyers

Gah, that's disappointing left right and center 🫤

@pzmyers God-botherers always finding a way to cheapen everything good in life.
@pzmyers more evidence that we’re all still in the Bronze Age, eh?
@pzmyers Apparently, they do on occasion stick douchebags on top of rockets...
@pzmyers this reminds me of the time I commented on a copper water bottle of someone’s from Flight Operations Directorate. They said thx and it helps de-ionize the water or some BS.
@pzmyers Great piece, thanks for sharing the link.

@pzmyers

Does he report to the flat earth brigade too?

@pzmyers C`mon, lighten up. Lifelong atheist here, heard the foxhole line when I was in the Army and found it amusing. We atheists are not immune to superstitions either.

@pzmyers I don’t understand the anger in this post.

He believes in God and you don’t… so what? He’s doing something literally out of this world.
