They prefer the next world because they obviously believe it's got to be better than this one.
It seems to me that you usually won't find suicide bombers among the ranks of the athiests. They've got everything to lose, and nothing to gain.
your statement proves that this is a war against a religion.....i love GWB....but all of the pc BS that this is not a war against islam will not change the fact that it IS !!!!
Funny. If I were an atheist, I'd be more inclined to commit suicide because (assuming I'd done it successfully) I'd be sure no punishment awaited me. I'd take out a few enemies and die, game over.
Nonetheless, history is on your side here. Atheists are terrible at organizing fatwahs and jihads. And they're usually so anal and selfish that they could hardly be bothered to do something for the community. Why should they, since there's nothing in it for THEM!
