No. I would not actually shoot them... I was being a smart-a$$...

However, I sure would like to do just that at times for the damage atheists, and those of similar persuasion, do to our culture.

BTW, when push comes to shove, an atheist soldier is not going to be too concerned with the well-being of his fellow soldiers, or the treatment of POWs, or civilians, or much of anything else. Such considerations depend entirely on an absolute moral reference. Atheists, by definition, have no foundation on which to set moral absolutes... everything is relative to the individual’s subjective point of view; i.e.: situational ethics. That is the mindset that dominates most of our culture these days.

You realize, don't you, that you have just libeled a good many fine soldiers, both past and present.

Adherence to your particular religion is not a prerequisite to being a good soldier.

And the more of your posts I read here, the fewer soldiers I suspect agree 100% with your beliefs. You appear to be quite a ways out on the fringe.
