Jesus, Camp Pendleton! 2nd foxhole atheist festival announced
My name is Paul Loebe and I am a Marine Sergeant. I am stationed at Camp Pendleton and I am an atheist. I’m working on this: In the beginning I spent a quarter century of my life heavily involved in church as a Bible-thumping believer. Then came the fateful day when I began to compare …

Photo of the planning meeting for those billboards you hate
We need quality control, and that’s what Martin Wagner’s blog post was all about. I just disagree with him for his sloppy aim, misdirecting his valid criticism. He praised an American Atheists billboard (that he didn’t realize was from AA) (EDIT: Michael from the Mid-Ohio atheists explains how we were both wrong about this in his …

Pro-tip: first check to see if yours was ‘pro’ and/or ‘tip’ at all
Martin Wagner over at the Atheist Experience blog lashed out at American Atheists (AA). For the last few years, American Atheists have been throwing billboards up around the country, and pretty much all of them have been a preposterous fail. Setting aside the often poor and flat-out amateurish graphic design on most of them (bad …

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 …

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

The parachute team is *not* atheist and they are forced to perform
Justice has prevailed with one of the last big-ticket “equal levels of support” to secure. The prestigious Golden Knights are working on a way to do a demonstration jump at our event, just as they had at the Christian event – including at least one atheist. There obviously was a lot of back and forth …
