    All of them? You claimed that 'none of them would be dying atheists'. Exceptionally unlikely.
    Do all theists have doubts, making them agnostics?

    You said that there were facts that suggest otherwise. Exceptionally unlikely.

    The fact that nothing suggests it's true.
    The lack of evidence to support your claim.
    People talking about things entirely unrelated to prayer as they're dying.

    I was only airing my opinion, as I believe that human nature would make somebody pray as they were dying, as in, "they are all Christians(muslim, jewish etc delete where applicable) on a sinking ship". I said nothing about facts, that was you.

    You actually said, "that's for sure", not, "that's my opinion".
    Prayer isn't human nature. It's something that you learn.

    Yeah, for sure it is my opinion, how could anybody know it as fact, which I believe I mentioned about an hour ago. So, if it is something you learn, who taught the first person to pray to the sun?

    Presumably they learned how to ask for things from other people and then did the same from the person that they believed the sun was.
    No learned belief in a deity, no prayer.

    If humans believed the sun was the one, surely that is a form of human nature, or was it aliens that taught them?

    A nice clean joke to lighten the mood.

    what do you call the offspring off 2 Herpestidae, one from a region to the south of France, the other from a country between China and Russia?....oh, and they are a little bit ******ed also.....and they are stoned as well.

    Monged Monegasque *****lian ***** *****ose.

    If you see this post has been edited, you'll know I have thought of something else.

    Humans didn't just start off thinking that the sun was a deity though, as far as we know.
    I've not seen anything to suggest that animals worship anything.

    I'm not sure that animals have "human" nature.

    The opposite is probably closer to the truth.
    Humans are just intelligent animals.

    Wait a minute, I see what you have done there! For the record, I am not even drunk let alone stoned. I'm trying to watch Breaking Bad, but I can't because I have keep on coming back on here every 5 minutes.
