Atheism Would An Atheist Pray In A Life And Death Situation?
Getting back to the op question of ''Life and Death situation''
-it reminds me of those terrible last moments of the victims of 9/11 that were up on the higher floors. The immense heat and smoke was filling every pocket of available space and soon they were virtually trying to breathe in an oven like atmosphere.
We know that some of them had their heads sticking out the windows just to get some cool air and then there were the one's that obviously made the split second decisions to jump.
What has always frightened me is the thought of 'what were these jumpers thinking ?'
I think that whether they were atheist or not, at that moment in particular it was all about trying to save yourself and survive.
It would be insulting to the victims or the families if I were to say whether they prayed or not.
Some of these jumpers went very calmly whereas others were moving around quite erratically. At this time of calm descent, I can only imagine an atheist saying '' If there is a God, then please save me.. where are you ...."
I can't really write too much on this because it upsets me to be thinking about it, but my heart still goes out to all the families..
and all I can think is 'waheguru'

You mean praying to a mythical figure that has no grounds or place in Sikhism?
Still I have yet to see a leprechaun worshiping Sikh attempting to justify it, I guess they keep it to themselves rather than looking for quotes about leprechauns in order to confuse and corrupt.
Harry ji, there was a Sikh on this website recently defending imps!! Perhaps not worshipping but who knows.....
