Youâve heard it said there are no atheists in foxholes. Thatâs because most people who are dying or think theyâre going to die soon pull all the comforting God-loving, God-saving reinforcements from their religions, all they can possibly muster. Thatâs why Iâm having trouble with your man who does the opposite. Not that itâs impossible. There might be a religious person somewhere, someone who has tried to follow God all his life and when he comes to the end, brings out all these counter arguments. Iâve just never seen it and think it usually goes the other way. I make the arguments in your poem sometimes, but would I make them on my deathbed â thatâs the question.
