    It doesn’t matter. Even if every single atheist recanted on their deathbed, it wouldn’t change the fact that there is simply no empirical evidence for any deities.

      You and I know this, but this video was for people dealing with that smug ‘you will change your tune when it is your time’ BS family loves to end this conversation with.

        I suppose, but I think those people need to understand that “you will change your tune” says nothing about reality.

    Of the several times I have brushed death, none of those times included a chant to a god.

    My typical response in my head was “Ah fuck. This is going to be a fun ride.”, or a variation of those words. It usually involved some dark sarcasm, now that I think about it.

    (Working on an aircraft carrier flight deck is extremely dangerous and sailors can delop some morbid humor as a result. I ain’t saying it’s right, but that it’s just a thing. Stress response is weird.)

      For me it was always “huh, so this is it” only later would I freak out how close I was.

    “based on what sources?”

    “We take it on faith!! HAH GOTCHA!”

    (Also… lego brick dude’s neck needs to be braced. Just saying.)

      It’s also super weird like if these Atheists speak for all atheists, then every pedo priest speaks for all religious people?
