Subject: and there ain’t any atheist's in foxholes Всем добрый день!Что бы это значило? Спасибо за идеи! |
|
без контекста imho [Во время войны] (Скорее всего, это еще о первой мировой войне) А так смысл зависит от контекста, который Вы не привели. |
|
atheists is directly referring to communists (of this i am sure) so basically, you have a guying saying that there are no commies waiting in foxholes to ambush you |
| "не бывает атеистов в окопах под огнем!" (с) гражданская оборона |
|
В окопах (= под вражеским обстрелом) атеистов не бывает. Т.е. все резко начинают верить в Бога. |

Nina79 *atheists is directly referring to communists (of this i am sure)* You're wrong here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atheists_in_foxholes The statement is used to imply that atheists really do believe in God deep down, and that in times of extreme stress or fear, that belief will surface, overwhelming the less substantial affectation of atheism. Many atheists find use of this saying offensive. Atheistic combat veterans disagree with the claim concerning the loss of atheism under the stress of battle. |

2Nina79 wonder, how many people in the us share the same opinion (commies=atheists)? |

| Серега опередил (((: |
| Sorry, Nina. But I think this is an old expression meaning that everybody believes in God when he's being shot at. I think it has nothing to do with Communism. |
