Army Approves Atheist Concert

With the Army's approval, there will be an "atheist concert" at Fort Bragg. I have no idea what an atheist concert would be like.

"You know those goosebumps you get when your favorite song hits that sweet spot? I got those," said Sgt. Justin Griffith, main organizer of the event and the military director of American Atheists, in an email. "I was overcome with joy and a sense of vindication." The plan is to hold the event on March 31 at the main parade field at Fort Bragg, where the Christian-themed Rock the Fort concert was held. Famed atheist Richard Dawkins is scheduled to appear, along with musicians, speakers and other entertainment. "This just might be the turning point in our struggle for acceptance," Griffith said. "I mean it. I get letters daily from service members asking for advice on how to `do something like what's going on at Fort Bragg'."

The concert is being staged partially in response to recent Christian rock concerts approved by the Army.

Jeebus Wants You To Nuke The World

After an expose by the website Truth Out, the Air Force has suspended a program that uses Christian parables to teach "nuclear ethics."

The course was led by Air Force chaplains and took place during a missile officer's first week in training at Vandenberg Air Force Base in California. Officers who train to be missileers were required to attend the ethics course, which included a PowerPoint presentation on St. Augustine's "Christian Just War Theory" as well as numerous examples of characters from the New and Old Testament the training materials asserted engaged in warfighting in a "righteous way." St. Augustine's "Qualifications for Just War," according to the way the Air Force characterized it in slides used in the ethics training, are: "to avenge or to avert evil; to protect the innocent and restore moral social order (just cause)" and "to restore moral order; not expand power, not for pride or revenge (just intent)." One of the PowerPoint slides also contained a passage from the Book of Revelation that claims Jesus Christ, as the "mighty warrior," believed some wars to be just.

According to the Military Religious Freedom Foundation, the Christians-only nuclear training constituted a blatant violation of the Constitution.

Hate Group: Don't Recruit Homos

Formerly with Coral Ridge Ministries, hate honcho Robert Knight is now with the laughably-named American Civil Rights Union, where he is calling on the military to refuse to advertise for gay recruits. Because that would constitute "special treatment." That same special treatment is currently used to recruit Latinos, blacks, and women.

Robert Knight, a senior fellow at the American Civil Rights Union, says no one should be surprised that the homosexual lobby wants special treatment from recruiters. "This is huge. This could have generational impact,” explains Knight. “And it can't stand. It will wreck our military. People of good conscience will have to leave the military and in fact many have already said they're going to." Knight alleges the entire "don't ask, don't tell" repeal process was a sham. "It was brought about with junk science, with a misrepresented survey that was leaked to the press for maximum effect -- and that ought to be investigated. In fact, that's one thing Republicans could do right now is to call for hearings into the misuse of that survey of U.S. personnel and see how the results were slanted," says the family advocate.

Knight's group has been pressuring GOP members of the U.S. House to open an inquiry into the handling of the DADT surveys completed by active duty servicemembers.

Mapped: Every Nuclear Explosion
