Vasectomy. Why do some women think it is hilarious to kick a guy when he’s down? These are friends of mine, and pretty active in the freethought scene. Seriously, this conversation spun out of control rapidly. One woman mentions vasectomy, and all of a sudden another woman takes it too far. It seems that there …

This sign was finally put up by the atheists at Travis Air Force Base, donated by American Atheists. Click to embiggen Staff Sergeant Dan Rawlings is brave enough to do this without anonymity.

Right after the American Atheists / FLorida Atheists Secular Humanists regional meetup finished, this group started setting up.

The entire military has inescapable and seemingly endless ‘safety briefings’. It was pretty hilarious …

Travis Air Force base is already under intense scrutiny over these displays that are inappropriate to begin with. The official word so far was that each of the 20 or so displays represented a squadron on base. Apparently this facade implies that an entire squadron is Jewish. And wouldn’t you know it – their display …

President Obama came to Fort Bragg yesterday to announce the news. All of our troops are scheduled to arrive home before Christmas day. This is ahead of the previously planned December 31st ‘final out’ date. How does a foxhole atheist feel about this? The same as my religious brothers in arms – elated. Nothing could possibly …
The free festival on Fort Bragg's Main Post Parade Field was a massive success! Expect updates, highlights, and other footage over the next few months.
UPDATE: A second festival is in the works for Camp Pendleton - a large Marine Corps base near San Diego, CA. Summer 2013
