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 [...]

Paul Loebe Two marriage proposals at the Fort Bragg atheist festival
April 11th, 2012 Justin Griffith Just before the camera started rolling, I started the set up: “The best part of any YouTube debate is always a Q & A session. It’s a bit more intimate, and honest discussion starts happening. So let’s get a mix-mic out there, for some Q & A” Congratulations to the Riddlehoovers! That’s enough Q & [...]

2 Comments »FastSigns initially refused to print THIS atheist sign!?
March 29th, 2012 Justin Griffith A local FastSigns store refused to print this sign: Yeah. Nothing in there attacking religion at all. It’s simply ‘atheist’. That one word. What the hell? They eventually changed their minds, after my team member fired off an angry response to this: From: FASTSIGNS 243 Sent: Wednesday, March 28, 2012 10:04 AM Subject: MASH banner [...]
Vet drives to Bragg after his court hearing, arrested for atheist activism
March 29th, 2012 Justin Griffith I’ve previously posted about the strange proselytism that John Kieffer endured at Fort Bragg in the 1970′s. Mandatory ‘born again’ day, he called it. Sounds familiar. Well, John is driving back up to Fort Bragg for Saturday’s groundbreaking atheist festival. But he has one thing to do before he can be on his way. He [...]

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 [...]
Fort Bragg wont let us feed homeless vets at the atheist festival
March 27th, 2012 Justin Griffith I fought very hard for this to happen at the festival this weekend. We went back and forth for several months. The ‘pro-starvation’ camp has prevailed. The idea was simple. Our festival is already paid for, via a generous donation from the Stiefel Freethought Foundation (directly deposited into our accounts at American Atheists). So here [...]

March 25th, 2012 Justin Griffith How has the massive atheist festival on a military base not broken through to network television news? The awesome stuff at Reason Rally probably had something to do with it. But that’s over now – so please help us get the word out – now! Finally, MSNBC has some meaningful coverage: After a sometimes painful [...]

March 23rd, 2012 Justin Griffith Here we go again. This is basically how it started with the hysteria about Aiden’s lyrics, but then some unethical journalism spun it out of control. Now it’s right on the Fort Bragg official facebook post about Rock Beyond Belief. I was wondering how long it would take for fundies to turn on another musician in our lineup. [...]

March 22nd, 2012 Justin Griffith I asked Camp Quest, South Carolina’s (CQSC) Amy Monsky for a schedule of her activities. I’m super impressed. Look at this thing, it represents so much work. Click to embiggen… this is pretty much amazing. So much is going on there! This is in addition to the 400 pounds of corn starch going into making the [...]

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 [...]
