Atheists Want Guard to Stop Bible Handouts. What is your opinion?

They is only a doctrine set out about separation of Church from state. All the law says is that congress will make no religion period. The rest is just the courts thinking they know best.

Well...no, no they shouldn't. At first glance I love the idea but I imagine an atheist might feel it is inappropriate. I'm sure a Muslim would feel offended just as I would feel offended if they tried handing me a Torah or Koran.

Can we all take a humble pill and at least try to get along?

I think that atheists along with a lot of other knot-heads have misinterpreted the establishment clause of the first amendment. It is in place to keep one religion from being elevated above others. Simply offering someone a copy of the New Testament with Psalms and Proverbs hardly qualifies as being non-compliant with that. Now, if they are handing out ONLY Christian literature while also openly and blatantly refusing to hand out literature concerning other religions, then maybe. But unless you can prove that to be the case... shut up and color.

What’s next? Vegetarians stop everyone else from eating meat?

I agree. if you want a Bible take one if not, don't. we are catering to everyone based on the slightest little offense. as a country if not the world we need to stop trying to make everything better for just ourselves and start thinking of how it will affect everyone else if what we don't like goes away. I think they should always offer a bible/Torah/Quran to everyone they have the freedom to offer and you have the freedom to turn it down, as long as you aren't chastised for turning it down it doesn't matter And this is coming from an Atheist.

Atheists have be:ome professional complainers wishing everyone to give up their beliefs for them. Firstly, I defy anyone to find the words separation of church and state in the Constitution. You cannot.as it was an opinion of Jefferson voiced in a letter which has become sacrosanct. I have been offered the book of Mormon, I declined. I have been offered books by Hare Krishna,again I drclined. I live in the South and receive a multitude of invites to services to churches other than our own, again I decline. The moral of the story is politely decline and move on without filing a million lawsuits to impose you lack of faith upon those of faith.

They don't like Bibles? They don't have to take them!

I think recruiting stations should be allowed to hand out bibles.
I am non-religious, but I still read the bible at MEPS to pass time.

Why can't atheists leave us alone we don't infringe on you stop infringing on us.

Obviously these "atheists" have some real will power. It's like the super chubby kid who asks his friends mom to stop giving carrots as snacks. When the time comes you will need what you dislike more than you know. Until then don't screw with other people's religion.
