You Die, You Die ... Worm Dirt ... Atheism (none / 0)

I watched Henry Waxman's hearings today on Pat Tillman and Jessica Lynch | by Martin Longman - 24 April 2007 |

In a transcript of his interview with Brig. Gen. Gary Jones during a November 2004 investigation, Lt. Col. Ralph Kauzlarich said he'd learned Kevin Tillman, Pat's brother and fellow Army Ranger who was a part of the battle the night Pat Tillman died, objected to the presence of a chaplain and the saying of prayers during a repatriation ceremony in Germany before his brother's body was returned to the United States.
Kauzlarich, now a battalion commanding officer at Fort Riley in Kansas, further suggested the Tillman family's unhappiness with the findings of past investigations might be because of the absence of a Christian faith in their lives.
In an interview with ESPN.com, Kauzlarich said: "When you die, I mean, there is supposedly a better life, right? Well, if you are an atheist and you don't believe in anything, if you die, what is there to go to? Nothing. You are worm dirt. So for their son to die for nothing, and now he is no more -- that is pretty hard to get your head around that. So I don't know how an atheist thinks. I can only imagine that that would be pretty tough."

Christian dying on the Afghan battlefield have a pass for heaven?? WTF ... idiocy unlimited.
