Some of my fellow soldiers have said some pretty unscientific or unrealistic things. A lot of these things are based on sensationalized, hyped, outdated, misread, or otherwise incorrect science. Some of it comes from their own weird minds, but a frightening amount comes from regurgitating science-sounding ‘facts’. “You only use 10% of your brain. Except …

It’s obviously not just evangelicals and uninformed Christians spinning a national tragedy on their metaphysical terms. Here’s one from a yoga instructor. You see, the real ‘tragedy’ is that people are calling it a ‘tragedy’. Brace yourself: The comments and ‘likes’ were awful too. People said things like “that was beautiful!” Full text below

Yesterday, I released the ‘fixed’ version of that horrible t-shirt. You might have seen one or the other. I was shocked to see that the original photo had been shared on facebook 300,000 times. Unfortunately, it has more than doubled. It’s a start, anyway. I hope people seeing the ‘fixed’ image are actively posting it as …

My wife saw the image on the left going around facebook. It had over 300,000 shares. Spread it / steal it / share it, whatever. What was preventing god from stopping the shooter before he entered the school? What prevented god from interfering with the shooter’s acquisition of weapons and ammunition? Why didn’t god stop …

If you like kids with shitty fingers, this is for you! “Great for little hands that can’t quit figure out how to keep their hands clean / covered when wiping.” I know it’s bad form …

An anonymous foxhole atheist at Fort Jackson sent me this. If you seek it out, remember do not start flame wars, and always be respectful. Don’t feed any trolls that may pop up. I’m going to Fort Jackson in a few weeks – trying to keep pitchforks and torches out of this. If you must, …

They are stationed at Fort Bragg, N.C. —- EDIT: ***IMPORTANT UPDATE*** ***IMPORTANT UPDATE 2 – They ‘fixed’ it and reposted it… with a wall of text rant aimed at …

Larry M. says I’m a ‘dummy’ that’s going to get ‘wacked’ (sic) in a foxhole because… I’m not a Christian. He’s also grateful that he doesn’t have to be the guy who carries my body back to the FOB. Atheists are just too damned heavy! At least he accepts that there are indeed atheists in …

I am the recipient of electronic mail. This one from Ronnie was disarmingly titled “No Death Wish!” I am not writing to pass conflict to others. However, I cannot understand why you hate love so much. What?! Hate ’love’? That is the unrealistic demeanor reserved only for Disney villains. Are you a child? It is hard to …
