[quote:-GLP-Christian-:MV8yMzAxNTA5XzM5MTkyMTYwX0I1NkYwMDA3] [quote:TunafishSammiches:MV8yMzAxNTA5XzM5MTkxOTYxX0RFQ0VDRUM3] [quote:Brandywine84:MV8yMzAxNTA5XzM5MTkxNDA4X0Y5OTA0MkI2] I needed my chaplain. Without my chaplain I would have probably killed myself. I was in a horrible place when we were there. I hated myself for looking away for half a minute. I hated myself for calling the police. I hated myself for wanting to hurt another human being. I just plain hated myself. My chaplain helped me in more ways than he will ever know. God bless that man. [/quote] So having a chaplain was a benefit to you, and you would deny (and deride) the same thing to another person who has a different set of beliefs than you? If it was an atheist person in the same situation, would you really say it was inappropriate for them to seek counsel with an atheist chaplain? [/quote] Since when do atheists pray, and what do they pray to, themselves? A statue of Karl Marx? What?

Original Message
Members of Congress are set to square off over a push to create military chaplains for people who do not believe in God.
The effort to create a chaplain for atheists and "humanists" has been building over the last several weeks. While the title might sound inherently contradictory, supporters say the point is to give atheists in the military someone who will pro-actively reach out to them and facilitate meetings.
