"There are no atheists in
the foxholes of Bataan."
-Gen. Douglas MacArthur
[Wikipedia says "...first use of the statement "There are no
atheists in foxholes " has been traced to Lieutenant-Colonel
William J. Clear in a story of Bataan's final weeks, delivered
during the "Army Hour" program over the NBC Red (Radio) Network
in 1942.] **Min's NOTE: I've also read that the Pulitzer Prize-
winning WWII war correspondent Ernie Pyle (3 Aug 1900-18 Apr 1945)
was attributed with that quote, owing to the hypocrisy of Atheists.
The point being, the God-hating, Family-hating, Country-hating
Anti-Christian cowardly hypocrite Liberal Atheist weaklings are
afraid of Death & Hell--and Judgment tremendous...so much the
better! The great Hebrew-Xian-Roman historian Flavius Josephus
described it this way, in his erudite 'Discourse to the Greeks
concerning Hades' bk 1 ch 1 (albeit crude English translation):
"the just are guided to the right hand, and are led
with hymns, sung by the angels appointed over that
place, unto a region of light, in which the just
have dwelt from the beginning of the world; not
constrained by necessity, but ever enjoying the
prospect of the good things they see, and rejoice
in the expectation of those new enjoyments which
will be peculiar to every one of them, and estee-
ming those things beyond what we have here; with
whom there is no place of toil, no burning heat,
no piercing cold, nor are any briers there; but
the countenance of the and of the just, which they
see, always smiles them, while they wait for that
rest and eternal new life in heaven, which is to
succeed this region. This place we call The Bosom
of Abraham.
"But as to the unjust, they are dragged by force to
the left hand by the angels allotted for punishment,
no longer going with a good-will, but as prisoners
driven by violence; to whom are sent the angels
appointed over them to reproach them and threaten
them with their terrible looks, and to thrust them
still downwards. Now those angels that are set over
these souls drag them into the neighborhood of hell
itself; who, when they are hard by it, continually
hear the noise of it, and do not stand clear of the
hot vapor itself; but when they have a near view of
this spectacle, as of a terrible and exceeding great
prospect of fire, they are struck with a fearful
expectation of a **future judgment**, and in effect
punished thereby: and not only so, but where they
see the place [or choir] of the fathers and of the
just, even hereby are they punished; for a chaos
deep and large is fixed between them; insomuch that
a just man that hath compassion upon them cannot be
admitted, nor can one that is unjust, if he were
bold enough to attempt it, pass over it."
