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

I don't think its very nice to make fun or mock overly sensitive athiests, but sometimes they really bring it down on themselves. Some of them are so unhappy and offended from anything that has to do with Christianity they want to take it away from everyone. What they don't realize is that when a fundamental right is taken away that leads to more rights to be taken away later down the road. I am really laughing at the demand for the Gaurd to stop handing out bibles.

Atheists should worry about what they can do to promote a strong moral code in their own home and stop worrying about everyone else. I do not understand why they should be actively Anti-Theist. To each their own as long as it is not detrimental to another persons freedoms.

The old saying goes something like, there are no atheist in the fox hole when all hell is breaking loose all around you!

The athiest working for me in Afghanistan was professional, focussed and dependable. He and I agreed it's fine for him to go to the truck during platoon prayer before mission. End of discussion, we respected each othrr enough to discuss and settle it. End of issue.

Why are they so scared of something they don't believe in!

Do not stop the Bible Handouts, that is a unrighteous thought from the pit of hell to blind your souls into thinking that there's no God, read that Bible and know the truth, to the solutions of your problems from a earthly point of view. As God says, My people are destroyed for a lack of knowledge.

there is a saying that will some this up, a conservative wants to stop eating meat he or she simply stops eating meat. a liberal wants to stop eating meat they demand all the meat to be removed from the from the store shelves!!

I still have my Army Issue Bible. If they don't like it then don't take it....

It is always curious to me when issues such as this come up -- SSG Rushlo nails it: if you don't want it, don't take. Don't over think the problem. If you are an atheist, live your life and let others (Muslim, Christian, Mormon, Jewish etc.) live theirs.

"Activist" soldiers and "activist" people in general puzzle me -- is it about what they want to do, or what they DON'T want others to do?

Religion can be a huge moral boost for military personnel. No one should stop bible handouts. There are tactful ways to decline a bible. On the flip side, there are also tactful ways to hand out bibles. I'm thankful that during my service, the chaplain's assistant and chaplain were extremely open and tolerant of my different beliefs. As a matter of fact, the chaplain's assistant turned out to be a great mentor for me. I have heard of other chaplains that are very "pushy" and that's not okay either. Anyways, let's not prevent other service members from having access to religious materials. Besides, doesn't the military always say that part of being fit is being "spiritually fit" as well?
