Why should I listen to you about God? Recently I have been having some philosophical discussions with someone I work with. He’s a very ardent and enthusiastic Christian. Upon learning about my lack of faith in any deity he took an interest in getting to know me better. Maybe he wants to convert me. [...]

May 20th, 2012 Paul Loebe Last year… I’m sure we all remember the outcry from the liberty hounds when the National Defense Authorization Act last year authorized indefinite detention over U.S. citizens as long as they are accused of ‘terrorism’ and can be held without trial until the end of the War on Terror (this is currently being challenged in [...]

May 19th, 2012 Paul Loebe 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 [...]
This map of our festival’s layout is freaking certain people out
March 28th, 2012 Justin Griffith Can you spot who? Hint: it’s the ‘building’ that looks like Macaulay Culkin. Jason Torpy from MAAF just sent me this. I laughed like a bastard. He said it was in response to the deafening silence coming from the chaplaincy at Fort Bragg. Not a single one at Fort Bragg seems to want to speak [...]
The parachute team is *not* atheist and they are forced to perform
March 22nd, 2012 Justin Griffith 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 [...]

February 22nd, 2012 Justin Griffith A few days ago, Pastor Bryan Griem viciously belittled foxhole atheists in the Pasadena Sun newspaper. I encouraged readers to let him know how you feel. He didn’t respond to my letter. But he did reply to at least one. Elizabeth wrote him a letter. You can read it in this comment. But I wanted [...]

February 5th, 2012 Justin Griffith Facebook netted me another strange troll. Apparently this person forgot why / when he added me (I pretty much never seek others out anymore, but feel free to add me. If you ‘suggest friends’ to me, you may be rounded up and shot.) This person makes a living off of predicting the future. Check it [...]
Captain Ryan Jean: “Getting ATHEIST on my records took two minutes”
January 5th, 2012 Justin Griffith A while back I posted about a heart wrenching and debate-ending example of why foxhole atheists need to demand NO-REL-PREF be accurately updated on their records to ATHEIST. Many are being told that it’s not possible – and on the contrary it has been for decades. Captain Ryan Jean wrote to me: It took me two minutes [...]

December 12th, 2011 Justin Griffith This morning’s article about a Marine recruit who got NO-REL-PREF against her will got a bit of attention. Much of it was from people who had almost the exact same experience. I’ve seen hundreds of comments to that effect in the few posts I’ve made that dealt with this topic. For instance, shortly after I [...]

December 12th, 2011 Justin Griffith I’ve written previously about my difficulty getting both my dog tags and my Enlisted Records Brief to accurately reflect ‘ATHEIST’. Some of the story is kind of funny and even eventually made it on the Flying Spaghetti Monster website. My corrected dogtags even made it on Wikipedia! NO-REL-PREF makes you a target for proselytism (even [...]
