Todd Stiefel takes an unconventional approach to philanthropy. He put up the $50,000 at American Atheists that made our festival possible via his Stiefel Freethought Foundation.That represents 100% of the funding. Last week, we were discussing ways to soften the blow that many Christians feel we are inflicting. We’re not attacking them at all, but it’s [...]

38 Comments »19,000 service members raped or sexually assaulted in 2010
February 15th, 2012 Justin Griffith You may have seen Jon Stewart speak about the insanity from Fox News personality Liz Trotta. It was brutal. He championed the natural facepalm reaction to her comments in a glorious way. It was funny, but it still made you want to cry, or scream. I actually yelled at my TV. Crazy talk. Reap has [...]

February 10th, 2012 Justin Griffith The above image is part of that mandatory Spiritual Fitness training you (yes, you) can help us debunk! Participate in that survey to help scientists help foxhole atheists. We are still banned on post because of a single sentence in the Chaplain regulations (AR 165-1) “DFGLs will not conduct services before approval by the IMCOM or MEDCOM Command [...]

February 4th, 2012 Justin Griffith Julie M. wrote to me with a pretty funny story: Hi, Good luck. My air force brother asked me to forward this. He hopes you’ll get a kick out of it. He had a squadron commander who liked group prayer. This made two men in my brother’s crew uncomfortable. Solution, organize the whole squadron to [...]
Iraqi Christian groups winning the war for the US?
February 4th, 2012 Justin Griffith I was following this story in the Fort Bragg newspaper, Paraglide up until this point: Being able to come to the U.S. to talk with their fellow Christians has strengthened the relationship between the Iraqi and U.S. pastors and creates an even stronger partnership. “I believe the best way to connect with each other is between [...]

December 22nd, 2011 Justin Griffith This is an excerpt from a very funny atheist Army veteran. I had no idea that many Mormons use/used the military as a way to learn languages for their missionary work. It makes sense. Late in her career, she describes being harassed simply for being pregnant or a woman, etc. The harassers were the same religious people who spent [...]

October 22nd, 2011 Justin Griffith A friend left this quote on my facebook wall. “The sermon was based on what he claimed was a well-known fact, that there were no Atheists in foxholes. I asked Jack what he thought of the sermon afterwards, and he said, “There’s a chaplain who never visited the front.” -Kurt Vonnegut Hocus Pocus
