What would an atheist chaplain do?

Atheists aren’t limiting their attacks in religion in the military to demonizing Christians. It turns out they’re also agitating for their own chaplains. I find this amusing. I can just imagine the atheist chaplain in different military scenarios.

Atheist military chaplain on the eve of battle:

“You’re going into battle tomorrow. No one is watching over you; no one is at your side; and you’re not cradled in anyone’s divine love. Have fun and be careful.”


Atheist military chaplain in a fox hole:

“We’re going to die! We’re going to die! And after that . . . nothing!!!”


Atheist military chaplain at a dying soldier’s side:

“Please, my son, ignore the fact that your life had no meaning, your death will have been equally meaningless and, when you die, you’ll rot and turn to dust. Don’t worry. Be happy.”


Atheist military chaplain when soldier confesses that he has the urge to rape the enemy’s women:

“Well, I think that’s a very bad idea.”


My parodies are stupid, right? It’s not just that I’m a bad parodist (which I am). It’s that life in Obama’s America has moved beyond parody.

I say give them their atheist chaplains. Atheism should be recognized as what it is: a religious belief.

By clamoring for an atheist chaplain, they are finally admitting as much.

Once that is established, never again favor one religious belief over another. You can't ban, say, the Nativity, a Christian symbol at the behest of another religious belief.

Once banned, the ABSENCE of the Nativity is an atheist symbol.
