Navy atheist came out of the closet on Good Friday

navy atheist stands up to be counted

Over the last three weeks I’ve been hammering home the importance of identifying as an atheist on your records. Most atheists in the military are still under the false impression that it’s not allowed. Most of us were told that “No Religious Preference” is all we can get. That hasn’t been true for at least a …

These Marines are stationed at Camp Pendleton. This platoon is in an artillery ground combat unit. Names are withheld. Here is some more information from the source: I didn’t get to ask the two Lieutenants and my other Sgt but I know they are religious. As I stated before there were 7 avowedly open atheists, 1 …

“The military needs god’s protection not some wacko like you”

Sick of wackos is typing

I am the recipient of comments. Sometimes I’ll get a rapid-fire volley from a single person, too impulsive to resist the warm embrace of the ‘submit’ button. Their brains are mid-explosion, possibly their underpants too. Like this: This person says that I need to get out of the military and America. Then he went on for …

justinwaynegreen-public

I don’t have real words for this. This is why we can’t back down, and we can’t fail. If America needs to have this conversation, so be it. Atheists think about and care about all the same shit you do. We ask all the same questions. We just sometimes have a different answer. Spc. Jose …

Rapture Ready cockroaches pray that the foxhole atheist festival is cancelled

end is near stay tuned

It seems that a failed end-times prophecy should logically teach adherents a valuable lesson in gullibility (a word that emphatically is in the dictionary, but unfortunately spelled incorrectly in many dictionaries.) You’ve heard the saying about cockroaches surviving even a nuclear world war? Well, much like cockroaches, the …

Coming out as an atheist at Marine Corps League veteran’s group

He’s sent me some pretty amazing stories that I’ve shared here, including being briefly arrested for not attending an inter-faith event during his training, and his run-in with future-WWE wrestler, Randy Orton – who beats people up for Jesus.
