Organizers prepare for atheism-themed event at Fort Bragg, 1st for a US military base | The Republichttp://www.therepublic.com/view/story/6a7c32aadc7943389b57102c4fbb6b96/NC–Army-Atheist-Concert/RALEIGH, N.C. — It has been more than a year in the making, but organizers of the first concert at a U.S. military base aimed at atheists and other non-religious service members and their families say they’re putting the final touches on the Fort Bragg event.
“Rock Beyond Belief” is scheduled for Saturday, March 31, and plans to feature bands and speakers, including Richard Dawkins, the famed British scholar and atheist author. It will be the highest-visibility event so far in a growing effort by military personnel without belief in God or religions to be recognized by their peers and the Pentagon.
I will be in prayer for our War Fighters and leadership of the community, of the church and for the unchurched/unsaved. There is always the opportunity to take something negative and the Glory be to God, amen. My first reaction was just that, a reaction. Yesterday I received mail from Billy Graham’s ministry and what his son Franklin and his sons are doing for our War Fighters and their families and then we have the concerns of Atheist groups.
I know three certainties! 1. We are going to die (1Cor15). 2. We will be judged, all of us, but in one of three ways. As Christians, as a Nation, and the unsaved 3. Jesus will return. All Biblical.
I am a Christian, US Army retired 26years. May God bless us all.
OH, Originally i was looking for Father Fore’ (from Boston) he was assigned to and deployed with us, 82ABN 1/17AirCavalry, to the Gulf War. I remember he was leading soldiers to Christ Jesus right out in the middle of the desert, amen.
