Last year I was invited to speak at several national conferences, but could not attend a single one because I was deployed. I gave this speech in Fort Lauderdale Florida last month, at the FLASH / American Atheists regional meetup. It was my first official public speaking engagement. I had to follow a pretty awesome talk …

This is a before and after shot documenting the rapid changes the commanders at Travis Air Force Base are implementing. I made Dan Rawlings’ quite legitimate ‘Let there be light…’ complaint public on Wednesday morning. The picture at the bottom represents Wednesday night. Click to embiggen. Foxhole atheists are demanding equality at every step. This …

The sign says “Have a safe holiday season”. But you’d think it said “I toss Christians into the Sun”, judging from the butt hurt coming out of this self identified ‘agnostic’ also stationed at Travis AFB (verified) who hated the signs. “I think it’s more than a bit funny that you **NEED** christianity in order to define your faith …

Fresh off of being vandalized, the officials at Travis Air Force Base secure the lighting for the atheist sign. Sounds good right? Well like many parts of the story, it’s once again 2 steps forward, one step back. Progress, but seriously… what the hell? They took down his 120 watt bulb, and replaced it with …

This was an awkward sign for a hotel conference room, with our without the hundreds of atheists there. That’s also probably not the best phrase for congregation naming purposes. I’m just sayin’… The conference was awesome, and all …

Air Force officials have at Travis AFB are at it again, but probably not in the way you’d expect. Take a look. This sign was at first banned by the chaplaincy. Then the media and legal attention made them reverse their decision a few days later. Now they want the (already printed) sign to be …

This display will be going up as early as tomorrow morning at Travis Air Force Base, courtesy of American Atheists. Rawlings says the artwork including images of the Flying Spaghetti Monster is playful. Civilians will probably miss out on the real in-joke here. The entire military has inescapable and seemingly endless ‘safety briefings’. It was pretty hilarious …
