Changes

As a teen, Pat kept a journal. The writings in it would be a trophy for atheism.  "I consider myself an atheist, however, in the back of my mind, I wonder if there is something greater." At age sixteen, most people don't know enough about life to make a profound decision such as that, a young mind still growing. If you look where he was at the time and how he ended up, it is a certainty that he was never an atheist. At age 17, he was arrested for assault and spent 30 days in jail. There is no doubt, his life would change for the better. He left behind all that was wrong (atheism) and he strove to be the best at whatever he did. He became a college football sensation. Tillman was a team player, he had moxy, he had determination to be the best. At his funeral, Chad Schwartz paid Pat homage "morals that could not be compromised,” and "he wanted to be an inspiration. He wanted to change people and he wanted to change his country for the better.” Does that sound like an atheist to you? Pat was an avid reader 'the man with an insatiable zeal for debate and an ongoing thirst for knowledge, the man who read everything from the Bible to the Koran and Emerson to Thoreau', even the Book of Mormons. But the hit piece article focused on Noam Chomsky, 'Pat just loved Noam, was prepared to meet him after the service.' Even though it was confirmed by Noam, I seriously doubt it. This all fits nicely into the leftist soldier who wrongly died for his country. It is true that he was not married in a Church, only an atheist would use that to their advantage. All the talk that Pat said the 'Iraq war was illegal', is hard to believe he truly felt that way. You've heard the old saying 'There are no atheists in foxholes', I believe that and I believe that Pat had issues under the stress of war.

Then there is the issue of Pat's football career. He had already served in war and could be let out of the Army early, the NFL wanted him back. Smith's article goes on to say how he seriously considered this. I don't believe this either. Here is a man loyal to his country, to his fellow soldiers, out of personal hate of the war, Smith argued Pat thought seriously about abandoning them. Include in this fact that Pat signed up for military service with his brother. He would leave his brother behind? Pat had married right before he volunteered. His wife spoke of a man that did not have an ego. Pat had accummaleted award after award, trophy after trophy playing college ball. His wife would say the only thing on Pat's mantle was a hand drawn U.S. flag. This is somebody who would turn against his country? How many atheist do you know would sacrifice their life for their country? For others? Selfless is not an atheist quality.

Everybody that paid Pat homage spoke of an incredible man, his courage, his bravery. Pat's brother-in-law would say, "take great notice of his daily pursuit to become a better person. But more importantly, his utter pride, devotion, and love for Marie, his family, and his friends.” Show me another atheist with the same convictions.
