Atheists, what would you do if...
Post #1So you're talking to this total rude***, who hates you, (the feeling being mutual) and all of a sudden some random dude pulls out two guns and points one at each of you. He then asks you (the Atheist) who's gonna' walk out alive of this situation. He says if you say "shoot" the previously mentioned jerk gets his pretty head blown off. But if you say "bang" your guts splatter on the wall. Would you say "shoot" or "bang?" Why?

OK, fair enough. So now you know this guy is going to only shoot one of you, somehow or other, and he's the sun god so if you touch him you get incinerated. "Shoot" or "bang?"postroad wrote:How idiotic!!!
How do I know the nut wont shoot us both anyway?
Best thing is to rush the guy and beat him into submission.

Bang. I don't really fear death, and odds are this nut will shoot us both anyways. I'd rather go before having to see someone else.
At any rate, how would you answer this question?

Unless the other person is going to be notably more beneficial to society than I might be, I'd hope he has a living will, assuming I felt like living for much longer.
Really, I'd think it depends on the day for me, but I'd have no problem either way.

There is nothing more powerful in uniting opposing forces than common danger.
In this scenario (far-fetched, unlikely to the point of being ridiculous) I suspect I would be looking at my “hated enemy� and he at me. We would both be thinking the same thing ....“ This character (sun god?) is a dangerous idiot� and we would both run for our lives probably helping each other to escape.
This assumption that people who disagree actually hate each other is false or at least very rare. *Thank God*.
*-*Sorry didn't mean to say that I'm an Atheist.

To answer your question, I already know what a Christian is required to say. "Bang." However, I figured if I were an Atheist, I'd want to live as long as possible. Survival of the fittest baby! :2gun: To answer at the same time Admurus, I would say "bang." I just went to confession today, I'm pretty clean, and the sooner I'm gone the better. This form of martyrdom, is looked upon as good in the eyes of the Church. Bonus points an' all that. Hopefully then you go to heaven. Or, God doesn't exist and you feel like an idiot. Oh wait, no you don't, you don't feel anything.Autodidact wrote:Why is this question addressed to atheists?
I am not afraid... I was born to do this.

The Church of God she will not bend her knees
To the gods of this world though they promise her peace
She stands her ground
Stands firm on the Rock
Watch their walls tumble down when she lives out His love
