Pentagon To Host Good Friday Service Just For Protestants, Not Catholics - SLRPNK

And us Atheists who point out that all the various Gods are fucking fanfic have to shut up and take it

I mean, take what?

That the exclusive nature of any base doing anything religious is smaller this time than it normally is?

Like, I’m a vet, I’m an atheist…

I honestly have no idea what you’re talking about.

If it was slightly more inclusive it wouldn’t be news and no one would care about every still excluded.

Which just means more people realize how fucked any religious association is, and that modern chaplains should be replaced with trained social workers.

Overall Kegsworth overstepping early works like a vaccine

If you think he’s bad, do you have any idea what the Air Force has been like for decades?

Here’s an article from 20+ years ago illustrating it’s a known problem we just won’t fix:

Professor KRISTEN LESLIE (Yale Divinity School): And she was scared and was not able to move, and so the other cadets in a way to cheer her on were trying to support her but yelling very evangelical, `Jesus will be with you. Jesus will save you,’ and that struck us as odd as a way to motivate someone in an environment that is not intended to be a religious environment.

BRADY: During a Protestant church service, Leslie says chaplains urged cadets to proselytize their bunk mates and warned that if they didn’t turn their lives over to Jesus…

Prof. LESLIE: …they would burn in the fires of hell.

You know who runs the Air Force Academy board now?

Erika fucking Kirk.

They religious far right have been grooming incoming officers for decades and now they’re 20-30 year high ranking officers.

And you’re mad that the annual Christian celebration just now cut off Catholics?

Literally hundreds of Gods. Atheists just believe in one less God than they do.
