Foxhole atheists need you at Fort Bragg, NC today!

BRB, changing the world. Please come to the Main Post Parade Field today for the groundbreaking Rock Beyond Belief festival. It’s the first time we bypass the chaplaincy’s ban on atheists meeting on post. We still have years to go to fix that problem, so please stand with us while we have this crazy opportunity. …

FastSigns initially refused to print THIS atheist sign!?

Fast signs refused to print this

A local FastSigns store refused to print this sign: Yeah. Nothing in there attacking religion at all. It’s simply ‘atheist’. That one word. What the hell? They eventually changed their minds, after my team member fired off an angry response to this: From: FASTSIGNS 243 Sent: Wednesday, March 28, 2012 10:04 AM Subject: MASH banner …

Vet drives to Bragg after his court hearing, arrested for atheist activism

I’ve previously posted about the strange proselytism that John Kieffer endured at Fort Bragg in the 1970′s. Mandatory ‘born again’ day, he called it. Sounds familiar. Well, John is driving back up to Fort Bragg for Saturday’s groundbreaking atheist festival. But he has one thing to do before he can be on his way. He …

Christians should eat free food with Fort Bragg atheists on Saturday

Stiefel Freethought Foundation

Todd Stiefel takes an unconventional approach to philanthropy. He put up the $50,000 at American Atheists that made our festival possible via his Stiefel Freethought Foundation.That represents 100% of the funding. Last week, we were discussing ways to soften the blow that many Christians feel we are inflicting. We’re not attacking them at all, but it’s …

This map of our festival’s layout is freaking certain people out

AHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!

Can you spot who? Hint: it’s the ‘building’ that looks like Macaulay Culkin. Jason Torpy from MAAF just sent me this. I laughed like a bastard. He said it was in response to the deafening silence coming from the chaplaincy at Fort Bragg. Not a single one at Fort Bragg seems to want to speak …

Fort Bragg wont let us feed homeless vets at the atheist festival

JE 3-211 membership drives

I fought very hard for this to happen at the festival this weekend. We went back and forth for several months. The ‘pro-starvation’ camp has prevailed. The idea was simple. Our festival is already paid for, via a generous donation from the Stiefel Freethought Foundation (directly deposited into our accounts at American Atheists). So here …

MSNBC’s excellent coverage of the upcoming foxhole atheist festival

March 31st 2012 is Rock Beyond Belief's official date!

How has the massive atheist festival on a military base not broken through to network television news? The awesome stuff at Reason Rally probably had something to do with it. But that’s over now – so please help us get the word out – now! Finally, MSNBC has some meaningful coverage: After a sometimes painful …

Sideburns should go back to 1860′s regulations

slightly out of regs justin griffith

I’m just sayin’… I’m on leave. Lots of soldiers do embarrassing little cosmetic experiments when we can… because we can.  Mohawks, beards, etc. Our wives all roll their eyes, but, “YOU JUST DON’T GET IT!” works every time. (: Shaving them off tonight. My hair grows fast; that’s only a week or so of intentional mutton chop …

Baby learning to speak in tongues

zoe-by-any-other-name-art-small

So this is how they get you. Perhaps babies are ‘born atheist’ (without a religion)… but they seem to become zealots really fast. I see grown ass men talking like this on late night televangelist programs. It’s baby talk! Grow up, raaaabaaalololo baaaa faaaaaaa riggookkooolala dooooooooooooobooooooo JEEEE-SUS aabbbbbloriahnooobogo nobogo looo wookiewookie jibby jibby jibby. They …
