If you lived in a country with a dictator and he commanded that everyone must believe in God or be killed, would you say that you believed in God to keep from being killed? There's no middle road. You are being questioned with a gun to your head and if you say no or maybe, you will be killed. What would u say?

Silly Fundy Myths are for kids - You evaded my question. Why don't you answer it?

Tu Nga - I agree but you didn't answer the question either. I didn't ask if it was true faith to be forced to believe. I asked each of you if you would die for what you believe or if you would lie to save yourself.

William M - It's ok to say that you don't know what you'd do. I respect you for your honesty.

My faith would guide me and I can assure you, in this scenario, I would be shot.
If one can't defend their faith, then they have none.

To be honest with you, I can't tell you what I would do.
Because if I'm ever in that position I will do exactly what I need to do.
I'm not mocking your question. I am indeed only staying prepared.
It is quite a relief to see someone ask a legitimate question. I'm tiring of the juvenile nature of so many here. They do not represent my beliefs. Sorry to ride their bandwagon a few times.
EDIT: I didn't say I didn't know what I would do, I just can't reveal that information.

I have a nice 9 MM hand gun and can shoot fairly well. Any imposers of religious law better be ready to shoot well to impose the God laws on me.
My classification would be terrorist or freedom fighter.

Not to believe God or to appear as believing Him in disguise is of no difference. Faith by force is not true faith.
I think that they will truly believe when they become thirsty of the spiriual truth and voluntarily embarking on seeking for it.

I'm an athiest not stupid. Obviously you'd agree that even elephants could fly if there's a gun to your head. Get what I mean? I'd say whatever, doesn't mean I believe it.

If it's a matter of survival of course I'm going to lie. That's what any intelligent person would do and in general, atheists are very intelligent.
