        If I ever convert on my deathbed, it's either a lie or I'll have lost my mind.

        "There are no atheists in foxholes." Mortal fear might stir hope in some but that really constitutes belief?

        Not everyone tells lies when they are desperate. Lying smoothly takes constant practice.
