Rep. Burgess (R-TX) handles this student quite well who is only there to push the dumb idea that the military should have atheist and secular chaplains.
Burgess: "I thought it was a dumb idea. I'll do it again" - thunderous applause.

What an oxymoron..............from a moron..........
Why would you have a Chaplin for an atheist? These people are just looking for attention.
Look Mr. atheist....Why does MY believing in God bother you so much. You realize of course, that in doing so, you are acknowledging God.
WTH is a secular chaplain?
I despise these morons. I have a cousin taking up this totally stupid, illogical atheist garbage, whining about how unfair churches get this or Christians get better treatment, etc. Complete nonsense with nothing but venomous hatred for anything not devoid of religiosity.
Force the “atheist college student” join the Army.
“Why would you have a Chaplin for an atheist? These people are just looking for attention.”
No, they are going after absolutely everything relating to religion. They are not “live and let live” people despite what they say. They are “you shall live as I live too or be destroyed” type people.
As Antonin Scalia told somebody regarding a Ten Commandments monument “avert your eyes if you don’t like looking at it.”
These types want anything that offends them removed, but things that offend us, well, we’ll just have to deal with it.
Chaplains believe and practice the faith in God. Atheists don’t believe in God. Who are these so-called atheist chaplains going to pray to? obama? air? Ok kid, which part of this logic didn’t you get? Burgess was too nice to this imbecile.
Atheism is a cult and you must worship it fundamentally. I don’t have enough faith to be an atheist.

Secular chaplains - just as soon as the Godless Left acknowledges having Christian and conservative advisers as the way for their side to go...
Glenn Beck just pointed out that if you need an atheist chaplain, then you admit that atheism is your RELIGION.
A militant, aggressive, intolerant religion. Kinda like Islam.
There are already plenty of “secular chaplains” in the military. They are called psychologists. This is a typical left wing tactic. What their aim is to eventually get rid of chaplains altogether.
Correct. This is the exact same tactic employed with homosexual marriage. Once you get your foot in the door by allowing "other" living arrangements to be called marriage, you completely undermine the institution itself.
“chap·lain
Noun
A member of the clergy attached to a private chapel, institution, ship, branch of the armed forces, etc.”
“cler·gy
Noun
The body of all people ordained for religious duties, esp. in the Christian Church.”
So strictly speaking, to have an atheist chaplain, there would first have to be a body of people ordained for religious duties of the atheist faith. I wonder what those duties would be and who would do the ordaining.
Seems like a lot of effort to set all that up just to get atheist chaplains.
It would be easier to just redefine the word cha...oh, wait.
to do what... tell them NOBODY loves them and they are alone and on their own when times are hard???
They already have. They’re called psychiatrist.
That an utter nonsense. Another communist military has called them political commissars.
That’s my Congressman! I like him.
It is a dumb idea and the brainless student is an Obama lover...
secular chaplains
What are they??
