Yesterday, I posted about the Christian troll who said that atheists all die in foxholes – but god protects Christians from death. Bart Centre, author of The Atheist Camel replied: Good reply Justin. When I was in Nam I saw a lot of Christians die. One guy was so busy praying during an assault on our …

Facebook super-fail: only Christians survive in a foxhole
Larry M. says I’m a ‘dummy’ that’s going to get ‘wacked’ (sic) in a foxhole because… I’m not a Christian. He’s also grateful that he doesn’t have to be the guy who carries my body back to the FOB. Atheists are just too damned heavy! At least he accepts that there are indeed atheists in …

Really, Fort Bragg…Salvation Army is okay, but not atheists?
When Fort Bragg denied our plan to collect canned food at the recent Rock Beyond Belief festival, the news went viral, and was even front-paged at reddit. If you haven’t read it already, you really should take a look at that article. I broke down the regulations that their lawyers were ‘creatively interpreting’ in their …

The writing is on the wall at boot camp (literally)
A brand new foxhole atheist sent me a few pictures from his cell phone. He’s in ‘hell week’ or ‘reception week’ of basic training. In a few days, his phone will be confiscated by his drill sergeants. He’ll get it back when he’s a soldier. This is Fort Jackson, SC. These posters are not government …

Nightly ‘non-sectarian’ prayer aboard USS Abraham Lincoln in Hebrew?
I’ve been screaming that there is no such thing as ‘non-sectarian’ prayer for years. There is no universal method of prayer, and many religions don’t even have such a thing. Still, the conventional wisdom in the military is that as long as you don’t say “Jesus” it’s somehow legal for them to pray at you …

Two marriage proposals at the Fort Bragg atheist festival
Just before the camera started rolling, I started the set up: “The best part of any YouTube debate is always a Q & A session. It’s a bit more intimate, and honest discussion starts happening. So let’s get a mix-mic out there, for some Q & A” Congratulations to the Riddlehoovers! That’s enough Q & …

Reverend Otis invites us to tweet our questions to his congregation
Yesterday I wrote a post about Rev. Otis Moss III from Chicago. He uses twitter during church. Perhaps aptly, he’s compared mobile social networking platforms as on-par with the printing press. I thought that Twitter’s 140 character constraint would render it an ineffective tool for any congregation. So I tried to boil down the entire Bible …

Seeking: WWII-Vietnam veterans dishonorably discharged for being gay
A trusted journalist asked me if I could put him in touch with any victims of discrimination from a specific era. Frankly, I’m not able to help! I’d love to connect with someone who received a “dishonorable” or “undesirable” discharge from the military for being gay. This was the standard procedure before the DADT policy …
