Which Version Of Christianity Is The Correct One?

[Confused Ape]

they do? that's some assertion there. a belief determines how people think?

Are you saying that Christians see Christianity the same way as atheists do? After all, how many atheists would use theology and the Bible to 'prove' that some versions of Christianity aren't really Christian?

did you know some of us want a atheist chaplain in the army now? what the funk is that about. stupid atheist fundamentalist are embarrassing. Now there is different types of atheists too. a funkin chaplain ... It seems to me the more we try and not be like them ... the more we are them ... "humans"

I did a bit of research. Atheists Seek Chaplain Role in the Military

Atheist leaders acknowledge the seeming contradiction of nonbelievers seeking to become chaplains or receive recognition from the chaplain corps. But they say they believe the imprimatur of the chaplaincy will embolden atheists who worry about being ostracized for their worldviews.

Military atheist leaders say that although proselytizing by chaplains is forbidden, Christian beliefs pervade military culture, creating subtle pressures on non-Christians to convert.

As an example, they cite the Army’s Comprehensive Soldier Fitness program, created to help soldiers handle stress and prevent suicide. The program requires soldiers to complete surveys assessing emotional, social, family and spiritual well-being. Based on their answers, some soldiers are asked to take “resiliency” training.

Atheists say the survey and training are rife with religious code words that suggest a deity or afterlife. The Army counters that the program is intended to determine whether a soldier has “a strong set of beliefs, principles or values” that can sustain him through adversity — and not to gauge religiosity.

Atheist and secular humanist groups in the military are hardly new. But at some bases, they have become better organized and more vocal in recent years.

Stanford University has now got a chaplain for atheists.

"People are shocked when I tell them," Figdor said. "But atheist, agnostic and humanist students suffer the same problems as religious students - deaths or illnesses in the family, questions about the meaning of life, etc. - and would like a sympathetic nontheist to talk to."

It's not so silly from that point of view. If an atheist needs help in coming to terms with something they won't appreciate being sent to someone who will talk to them about God and faith etc.
