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

I got offended when someone offered me "Fifty Shades of Grey." Calling IG

Mikey Weinstien. God bless him.

It's simple. If you don't want a Bible, decline the offer. As a Chaplain I carry around various different religious books in the field and ask 'Would you like any reading material? ' I also offer playing cards and puzzle books. In garrison, Bibles and other books of faith sit on a table outside Chaplain's office. If a Soldier doesn 't want, don't take. In the field, Chaplains should use tact when offering.

If you don't believe, then why do you care, Atheists do not speak for everyone, they only speak for themselves, so then if you don't want one just say no thanks and keep moving nobody is forcing you to take anything.

Atheists sure invest a great deal of time worrying about a God in whom they don't believe, and trying to prevent others from experiencing a God that they say does not exist.

I am sick of whiners.

They can always join another military. I heard the old Soviet Union came down pretty hard on distribution of religious literature. Perhaps the Russian Army would be a healthier environment for a committed Atheist. I'm sure the CCCP is still alive and kicking in some parts of eastern Europe and central Asia.

Are the atheists in the Missouri National Guard? Were they forced to take a bible? No? Then they can shut up and color.

SSG Robin Rushlo, Absolutely NOT!! This request is more of a statement. Atheists is just like any other political group. They have agendas hidden behind their actions. Someone somewhere along their life cycle has irritated them with respect to religion and the concept of God. Now, this is strictly my opinion.

I am a christian and am totally secure in my salvation. I don't need to speak out against any evil thing especially in our type of democracy. I would be a Hypocrite to demand my beliefs overshadowing someone else beliefs. Now understand, we all need to get along peacefully not interfering with others right to live as they believe. Only when those beliefs cause harm to all others is when it should be considered illegal.

Handing out religion materials of any kind does not violate any Constitutional interference when the service member do not have to take the literature. No. I believe that the request is one small subtle step in trying to get rid of religion in our society. Some want to live without religion and I understand. Just because they want to for them. They will never decide if I have religion. As for me and my house we will serve the Lord.

If atheists think the Lord is a joke or a silly superstition fine. No skin off my back. Makes me think though, if just a silly thing they are sure irritated with bibles being offered, not forced mind you, but merely offered.

Cogito ergo sum (French: Je pense donc je suis; English: I think, therefore I am), often mistakenly stated as Dubito ergo cogito ergo sum (English: "I doubt, therefore I think, therefore I am"), is a philosophical Latin statement used by René Descartes, which became a fundamental element of Western philosophy. "I think therefore I am"?

If something irritates me it pretty much exists.

Based on their logic, They believe in nothing, so nothing should be banned
