That seems to be the word on the subject....

I'm noticing the same thing that Captain Atheism has noticed here. Strange... :)
Here's my take with the help of Dr Seuss' Green Eggs and Ham...
There are atheists here or there
There are atheists anywhere
There are atheists in a boat
They would not, could not, with a goat (Thank goodness)
There are atheists when it rains
There are atheists that ride a train
So please don't be such a troll
Somewhere, there's an atheist in a foxhole
Sub "atheist" with agnostic or non-Christian or whichever you prefer.
The point that needs to be driven home here is that non-Christians are every bit as capable as Christians of having the courage of their convictions.

I don't think you have a complete grasp on the subject. Since 2/3 0f the world's population is not Christian, I would estimate that most of those would die with the same beliefs they had when they were alive.

Tee hee hee.
I'm really just commenting on other's questions more than answering them today. But I must say, this is a really interesting response we have here today.
If you were to ask "Are there atheists in foxholes?", the Christians would, with one unified voice, say "Hell, no! When an atheist is faced with difficulty, he'll come crawling to God!"
Odd that when you turn the question around, the response is... how shall I say... COMPLETELY THE OPPOSITE?

Definately not...That would mean that the people that have been active Christians their entire life would end up with the same result after death as those who either followed a different religion or sinned horribly without regrets...and thats just not right!

No, not everyone. There are some people who are athiest clear until death. And, death over comes some people in the middle of the night and they dont even know it.
So, not everyone "dies a Christian" on thier death bed. Also, if they die on thier death bed, then they havent been baptised, and the LORD specifically said to the Apostles:
Matt28:19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:
So, they arent baptised according to the LORD.
Besides, the LORD knows what is in thier hearts, not us, and HE is the one to judge everyone...
I wish you well..

Well you know what 'they' say:
"There are no atheists in foxholes. Blahblahblah nahnahnah."
Oh except for the atheists there aren't any.
I'm going to start my own saying
"There are no christians in foxholes because anyone that close to being torn to bits by the horrors of war would surely believe that no loving god could possibly exist."
OK, that doesn't role off the tongue as well. Sue me.

No... You have it wrong.
Very few are Christians when they die. Narrow is the way that leads to salvation. Wide is the path that leads to destruction.

No, that's more along the lines of " wishful thinking " with a lethal edge.

No. That's childish. Besides, what makes you think an all knowing, all powerful God would be duped by that trick.
