Yesterday I told you why it was IMPORTANT to stand up and be counted as an “ATHEIST” and not a “NO-REL-PREF”. Today, I’m going to tell you how. Army: Walk in to your unit’s S-1 office. Ask them to update your ERB or ORB. Tell them you want to fix your religious preference. Tell them you [...]

February 28th, 2012 Justin Griffith These videos may just disappear soon. Grab them while they’re hot! They’re from the Army’s public facing media outreach website. Remember, whenever lawyers and reporters are around, the term ‘spiritual fitness’ has nothing to do with religion. It’s about ‘team spirit‘ and ‘human spirit’. So it’s not illegal when mandatory… CH (MAJ) Choi – Sunday [...]

February 18th, 2012 Justin Griffith This may be ‘more’ unconstitutional than it is on money. It certainly reveals the man behind the curtain with the coins in your pocket. The motto was first challenged in Aronow v. United States in 1970, but the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit ruled: “It is quite obvious that the national motto and the slogan [...]

February 12th, 2012 Justin Griffith This is coming from the Army’s website of pre-packaged videos for the media to pick up. It’s all well and good to be respectful of fallen soldiers, and to embrace diversity among the religious preferences. But to brag about the fact that you brought the first Torah Scroll into a Muslim nation? Probably not a [...]
Army medic “has seen Christianity, Judaism, and Islam in action…Frankly, I’ll pass.”
December 26th, 2011 Justin Griffith Mikey Weinstein, President of the Military Religious Freedom Foundation, shared something with me today. He shared a report in USA Today that speaks about the statistical trend away from traditional religious identities. MRFF is an important – albeit religiously neutral - ally to the secular community and fierce defender of the US Constitution. But Mikey saw something that he [...]

December 20th, 2011 Justin Griffith Foxhole atheists are taking notice of the rapid changes made at Travis Air Force Base nativity scene, spearheaded by Staff Sergeant Dan Rawlings.

December 14th, 2011 Justin Griffith Earlier this week, I highlighted an incredibly easy way to send a care package to a deployed military member, completely free of charge. It was a combined effort between Revision Military, who makes SawFly battle-ready eye wear among other things, and also the AnySoldier charity who helps match military members with individual donors. This started [...]

October 17th, 2011 Justin Griffith Spoiler: I don’t hate it…? Fred English is a super-troll who goes out of his way to harass foxhole atheists. He found me on Facebook and has been saying dumb things to me ever since. Like this: “why dont you get out? if you dont like what the army does you damn sure joined and [...]

October 8th, 2011 Justin Griffith 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 [...]
College professor assaulted by Army veteran who was ‘sent by god’
September 15th, 2011 Justin Griffith 
The Army Vet was put on academic suspension and now faces assault charges. Furthermore, he failed to prove that his imaginary friend was anything more than just that.
Weeks later, he underwent court-ordered psychiatric evaluation for the violent voice in his head. Members of the press asked the Army veteran how he was going to prove his innocence. He punched them all in the face, and said…There’s your proof!
His own lawyer has released a statement claiming that he is not mentally competent to stand trial.
