I hate to say this, but all of his points with the exception of guns are correct.
@amerika @Mr_NutterButter
So, do you believe, that atheism is a positive belief in absense of God, or that it is a lack of belief in his existence?
You cannot argue with me on this topic, and then say to @NEETzsche that you agree with the same claim.
@NEETzsche @amerika @Mr_NutterButter
Sure, there is a lot of philosophy, that I LOVE about christian thought.
But fear of death is the entire premise of "no atheists in foxholes."
@beardalaxy @matrix
Although, I never thought about the economics of continual development.
A new player who pays the full price of the game is worth 2 old ones buying some 1/2 priced DLC. So, It makes sense, that keeping a good will, that attracts new players can be enough of a monetization in order to keep free updates flowing 🤔
@NEETzsche @amerika @Mr_NutterButter
Well said.
From my side, I believe, that the christian belief in God is deeply rooted in the fear of inevitable death. Therefore, someone breaking in the foxhole is completely natural and just confirms the nature of christian belief.
I also think, that most christians live already "broken" by fear of death for their entire lifes.
But also, I don't see people trying everything including a prayer in such an extreme situation as them in fact being sure, that God DOES exist. That is a huge jump in logic.
An atheist is someone who doesn't believe in any god. You can break it down by etymology: a(without)theist(god). We can go into Leddit distinctions between different kinds of atheists, like those who positively assert the non-existence of gods vs those who are merely skeptical enough of them to not think they're real given the information they have, but I don't think it's really germane to this conversation, beyond this point:
The conversation is what does foxhole prayer entail. I don't think it entails the existence of God. I do think it's an indicator that the atheist in question is not very confident in their atheism, that they become pliant to theism in dire circumstance. It's a statement on the personality and views of the person foxhole praying. It's not a statement on external, objective reality. Quite a few believers lose their faith given hardship or the fear of imminent death. This is a two way street.

But, what is worse is, that you believe, that you can define, what my argument is, before you attack it.
Not only is it a strawman, but it is a strawmen with a request to accept it from my side.
I seriously cannot believe you tried something so postmodern.
@amerika @Mr_NutterButter @NEETzsche
I will ignore for now, that you thought I will be stupid enough to fall for appeal of authority, but please, keep the conversation on some level of dignity.
This was just pathetic.
@amerika @Mr_NutterButter @NEETzsche
Of course, that you can be "successful", when arguing a strawman. But afirst step of an argument is always to talk about the same topic.
And just as I refuse to accept 69 genders on a fundamental level, I will not give up the label of an atheist just because you decided to make the definition isnane.
@amerika @Mr_NutterButter @NEETzsche
Then your definition is insane ![]()
@amerika @Mr_NutterButter @NEETzsche
> Then again, is anyone really an atheist?
Yes. The belief in god is a positive belief.
I am not saying, that I have a proof that he doesn't exist with 100% certainty. I am atheis BECAUSE I don't have a reason to believe he does.
But that is different from claiming the oposite as a certainty. Some atheists do that, but I absolutely don't see it as a requirement.
And I refuse to use the word "agnostic", because at that point, we're getting into a politics levels of pseudo definitions.

Let me check the paycheck tables really quick. If I'm going to risk my life, I'm sure I will be able to afford a house, right????
@beardalaxy @matrix
The game is absolutely mid, but the support is so great, that I had to buy it just out of the principle.
Just look at KSP2 FFS. It's such a different story, that it cannot even be called the same industry.
