The Marine Corps Times just released an outstanding story about us! Seriously… this is simply good reporting. Two national atheist groups, and one advocating religious freedom, have complained to Navy Secretary Ray Mabus that officials at Camp Pendleton, Calif., continue to deny them access to the base while giving “preferential treatment” to Christian religious organizations, including …

The Stars and Stripes posted a story about Brig. Gen. Tammy Smith, the first openly gay general officer in the US Military. Though she downplayed the ‘first gay’ angle, the importance was simply unavoidable. CNN picked up the story, and OutServe provided some great pictures from the ceremony. The article at S&S generated some heated …

Those bibles in our court rooms are literally disgusting. Think of the filth exposed when objects / hands are held up to ultra-violet lights. For this reason, I never read magazines at the doctor’s office. Everybody touches them! Bibles are gross (click to embiggen) I received a letter from an atheist who recently gave sworn …

Brigadier General Tammy Smith is the first openly gay flag-grade officer in the US Military. At this rank, she’ll have thousands of service members quite literally looking up to her. The private ceremony included a twist on an old military tradition. Brig. Gen. Smith’s spouse ‘pinned’ her. In other words, her wife slapped the new …

More than a few people have been asking me to poke Assassin Actual to see if he’s alright. He is OK. He’s stuck in a very demanding job right now, with the workload of several people falling solely on him. That’s what you get when you’re good at your job, I suppose. He should have known …

Despite their controversial end-times message and history of sex scandals, the group has co-sponsored several high-profile concerts and other events with the approval of local Navy and Marine Corps commanders. Comprised of …

Back in December I wrote about a fierce young Marine Corps recruit who was told that she couldn’t have “ATHEIST” on her records and dogtags. I gave her some advice; she fought back, and won. She recently graduated from Boot Camp in top form. She had a blast despite the USMC’s grueling 13 week training. …

The King James bible is my favorite. Not only is it the most poetic translation, KJV also has unicorns! Isaiah 34:7 And the unicorns shall come down with them, and the bullocks with the bulls; and their land shall be soaked with blood, and their dust made fat with fatness. That’s my favorite of the bunch. …

The original photograph shows a large advertisement for a Vacation Bible School on a US Navy base. Transportation is included. Equality is not. I’m not sure which base this photograph came from, but it’s far from an isolated incident. Here’s a write-up in the Periscope, an in-house PR rag for Naval Submarine Base Kings Bay …

It was actually Sniper Jesus that was apparently inserted into the chain of command at a Fort Bragg unit. I still think this was a real photo (the shadow is consistent, albeit from a smaller frame). However, I doubt that this picture would fly very long. It was probably either somebody goofing around, or otherwise …
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
