I am so proud of all of you. Thanks for sticking in there and being the example to all the other MASH groups that are sprouting up. It’s up to you now. I’m leaving – I’m a recruiter now – hooray! Effective immediately, I’m quitting this group. I love you all (in god’s gay way) …

I’ll take a baby on the rocks, shaken not stirred
So I get email. I’ll spare you because it was simply lyrics to a god-botherer song. I replied “Poetry sucks. Get a guitar.” That riled him up, so he expressed anger and then sent me another set of lyrics. This was my second reply: By the rivers of Babylon You really did babble on Crazy …

Church sign fail “Jesus – making atheists backslide for 2000 years”
The word ‘backslide’ has a very specific meaning. It doesn’t mean what they think it means. Click to embiggen: Wikipedia sums it up: This article is about the theological phenomenon. For the dance, see Moonwalk (dance). Backsliding is a term used within Christianity to describe a process by which an individual who has converted to Christianity reverts to pre-conversion …

Anti-gay marriage legislation directly affects straight couples
On September 20, 2011 Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell was officially repealed. This was a huge victory for all the soldiers, organizations, politicians, and citizens that put their time and effort into combating DADT. Obviously, the LGBT rights issue is far from settled in the military. But here at Fort Bragg, N.C. we’ve got a special …

Trolls really are ‘misplacing’ the 1st issue of atheist magazine!
Unfortunately… I was right. My wife checked the Fort Bragg area Barnes and Noble around 3 PM. The clerk couldn’t find any of the three copies they had in their inventory. My wife left empty handed. Later that night (7PM), the new acting president of the Military Atheists & Secular Humanists at Fort Bragg (MASH …

This disgruntled retired chaplain is clearly from outer space
Some of you may remember the atheist-bashing retired chaplain, David Druckenmiller. Days after he retired, he let me know how he really felt about me – and the looming atheist festival. He was an integral part of the event that spawned ours. He is also a robot from outer space. Imagine Mitt Romney but with …

Off the record, Sgt. Griffith is doing the work of Satan
Enough time has passed that I can share this bizarre little story. A powerful chaplain refused to speak to the press about RBB, citing an unverified order from above. He just couldn’t help himself from saying something. A documentary is in post-production right now about the lead up to RBB, keep an eye out. Scott …

PBS coverage of Rock Beyond Belief
Check it out! Rachel Medley’s soundbites were triumphant and prescient – despite some setbacks RBB faced at getting the Golden Knights to agree to jump. I’m comfortable with my own comments, as well. I’ve been the victim of unethical editing before, and I’m glad to say this is not one of those times. My favorite …

PBS will air their coverage of the military atheist festival this weekend
PBS sent a team out to Fort Bragg to cover the festival and interview me. It’s for their long running Religion and Ethics Newsweekly program. It seemed to go really well so keep an eye out. The show airs at different days and times in different markets (and is absent in a few). They’ve made …
