I’m not sure what the point is; what impact does a person being scared on their deathbed have on the argument about whether or not there is a god? Does being about to die confer a greater understanding? Surely it is when people are calm that they are most rational.

How original! A thread pitting atheists against creationalists. Not only do they add nothing new or positive to ATS, they are generally just a cheap exercise in point whoring.
Kudos Op!

Matthew 27:46 And about the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani? that is to say, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?
Jesus did the same as everyone else on the list I guess.

Then I'm just gonna point-whore and ask you why you point-whored by making a post about point-whoring. ??
I guess these conflicts, erm, debates, turn everyone into hypocrites except me.

I don't really know a lot about most of this, but when I was younger my pastor told me when Jesus said this he had expressed a lack of faith in God. This was a long time ago, and I can't remember her exact words, but it had something to do with Jesus going to hell before being resurrected.
Pretty sticky situation!

Right, I guess the ultimate test is death.
Either way I hope you find the answers your searching for, because I haven't yet. I'm tending to divulge from organized beliefs all together, and find personal happiness.

It's a normal function of the perfectability process. Nothing to see there, really.
