There Are No Atheists In Foxholes

 

There Are No Atheists In Foxholes

it is uncertain who first said  ‘there are no atheist in foxholes.’ but whoever it was had experience the battlefield and soldiers facing death.  Because in order to actually see the enemy in order to do battle the solder must climb out of the foxhole and expose himself or herself to the enemy and when the fire is heavy perhaps to certain death.  At the command of charge the solder cannot escape.   the deed must be done.  Alone and vulnerable in the foxhole the soldier appeals to the heavens for a miracle. Miracles come from gods who live somewhere in the heavens and perhaps to a particular god that the soldier may not believed existed a half hour before.

there are other kinds of foxholes occurring outside an actual war zone that are being dug an occupied every day by young and old people. Car accidents can leave people so crippled their bodies will never be the same and are in a foxhole cannot escape by their own efforts. The odds are, I believe that the majority will eventually appeal, as the soldier , by appealing to a higher power for help. Other near brushes with death such as the necessity for a risky operation or an unexpected health incident that leaves one  overwhelmed with feelings of helplessness.  Just as my long streak of good health was recently broken by a massive stroke. I am 96 years old, female,  and the world has no use for such a creature as myself. Old and wounded my age category alone makes me one of the useless eaters as some globalists define us and say so however, I refute the label in name of all who live and deserves like physical catastrophes and been strengthened by their communication with a higher power, I believe we have a hell of a lot to say that young people have no knowledge of. However, I also think that most of us also are soldiers that live in foxholes and most individually and communally. Next time   Bj Rhodes
