I’m also an active member of Gideons International. When serving as a Gideon I have never said one word to the God haters that verbally assault me on a Bible distribution. On my time, the opposition gets a quick lesson of righteous anger and the founding of this Republic and the importance of God given rights.
I try to quell that righteous anger, and replace it with prayer. I’m not always successful in my quelling. God wants us to witness and share, not crush. God bless you and your family.
