71 shot, 12 dead. This tragedy had already been re-purposed by opportunist theocrats by early this morning – 8 hours later. Congressman Louie Gohmert (R-TX) went on the air and attributed this massacre to ‘attacks on Christianity’ and specifically cited so-called ‘unreleased DoD statistics’ that military suicides are all / mostly atheists. I am in …

Amazingly, this just happened. I already typed this into YouTube’s description, so forgive the 3rd person narrative. The Chaplain respectfully leaves off “so help me god” for the deployed atheist soldier’s re-enlistment ceremony. Chaplain (Colonel) Strohm is overseeing Sergeant Justin Griffith’s re-enlistment ceremony. The Chaplain is a devout Christian with decades of active-duty service. Sergeant …

You may remember a few months back when SGT Kloberdanz told us about being kicked out of a Dining Facility for wearing a Bad Religion Shirt. Well, along these same lines comes a story from Navy Atheist CTR2 Michael Wheeler. I’m so proud of all the military atheists shedding the (often justified) fear of coming out of the …

EllenBeth Wachs, the Florida atheist who has been harassed and arrested by a religious zealot in the Polk County Sherriff’s Dept recently shared something with me. It involves B-list Hollywood actor Daniel Travanti of Hill Street Blues ’fame’. He played Captain Frank Furillo, if you were trying to remember this ‘Where are they now’ thespian.

Check out these links before they disappear: Aberdeen Proving Grounds (Army base in Maryland) – The image below is their only content for spiritual fitness. HADOUKEN! YOGA FIRE! YOGA FLAME! HADOUKEN!

SGT Dustin Chalker, my friend and fellow foxhole atheist, wrote to me with exact figures from the mandatory Spiritual Fitness remedial training. Keep in mind, when reporters and lawyers are around – Spiritual Fitness is only about ‘team spirit’ and ‘human spirit’. They emphatically declare that it has nothing to do with religion (clearly an …

Sergeant Poe’s Law Firm has been alerted. “Here is undeniable pictorial evidence that the Army is forcing me to learn Wiccan rituals.” Sergeant Poe Here is the link to the Virtual Spiritual Fitness Center… act quickly before the new world order deletes the page. They even control Google Cache! Christians, are you thinking to yourself, …

This is that rare combination of well-informed reporting and genuinely funny brash sarcasm. Raleigh-based A-News is the DIY equivalent to the Daily Show / Colbert Report for atheists. I have no idea why this show isn’t already massively popular. This entire episode is dedicated to the recently reinvigorated struggle for acceptance by foxhole atheists. Is …

Jason Torpy, president of MAAF, sent out a request for some visibility on his remake of the Army’s insane Virtual Spiritual Fitness Center. I thought that was a pretty fun idea. I remember telling Jason in late March about the ridiculous website. We both kept finding more and more crazy stuff. Remember, this is brought to you by the same department that …
