...and our country is under direct attack. Troops are fighting on the homefront. They are trying to protect you in the utmost sense of it, now in the ruins of your neighborhood that you fled only hours before. In keeping the enemy back to give you, your family, and your neighbors time to flee, a soldier looses his or her life. This person was an atheist, they died as one. What do you think of him or her?

Chill bloody_gothbob, I'm a non-believer. I just wanted to see what people would say, if some would say he/she was still destined for "hell" for being an atheist despite dying for them, or... Or would some think an atheist would get into their "heaven" after that...

I would be most grateful to him or her for allowing my family to escape. It would not matter to me if this person was a non believer. I would hope that this good deed would not go unnoticed by the almighty.

What has atheism got to do with it? I'm an atheist. Are you insinuating it would be strange for an atheist to give out his or her life for his or her country? Why? Because our morals don't come from a code set up by religious authorities?
What a sad mentality.

They had the chance to learn the truth, anyone in the military is just doing their job as they are told to do. The choice was theirs to make before hand .

He is heroic. And I would consider it a double tragedy. A fine soldier not only lost his earthly life, but his eternal one as well.

I think he wasted his life, but hey, thanks, I got away.
In the days when land = life, fighting "for your country" made sense. Now you can just run away somewhere else and rebuild. Wars and states are obsolete.
