Lawmakers battle over push to create military 'chaplain' for atheists | Fox News
My question is, why would an athiest need/want a chaplain?
They wouldn't actually be called chaplains, which is why Fox news put that word in quotation marks.
They may need/want someone to talk to without the religious aspect.
The Armed Forces has counselors of all kinds, including psychologists and psychiatrists. While calling a newly created post something else -- like a counselor -- might sit fine with the military, it doesn't satisfy those who specifically want a non-faith chaplain established.

Here is your problem. Faux news alters things to fit their narrative. That is why they have chosen the term chaplain because it really does come across as silly. Atheists would just call it a counselor and be done with that, but that won't get people riled up so faux makes stuff up.
Aren't they already available? I think they are called shrinks.
No because faux makes things up and then you get into silly discussions about atheist chaplains which is not something an atheist would push for. Atheists do not look for chaplains, priests, imams, rabbis, shrine maidens, nuns, pastors, spirit guides, shamans, witch doctors, or any other crazy crap faux news says they do for the sake of ridiculing them. It is an absurd claim from a bunch of conservative idiots who hate atheists and want to make fun of them. If an atheist wanted advice on some life aspect they would ask a counselor, advisor, scientist, doctor, teacher, parent, sibling, friend, or old drunk guy on the street. Non-religious, get it?Did you read the article?
Atheism has become a sort of cult. It is, for many, the religion of non-religion. Richard Dawkins is their unofficial high priest. It's amazing how much time and energy cult atheists spend trying to convert people to their religion of non-religion.

Here is your problem. Everything that you disagree with is not something made up by Fox News.

Aww you beat me to it.....
Who are its cult leaders? Where are these cults congregating? Are Atheists a cult, anywhere but in your imagination? If so, where?

They already have 'counselors' in the military. Kinda makes your position look more idiotic than the insistence on dragging the Fox News boogieman into every argument.Here is your problem.

Didn't I say "Richard Dawkins" is the high priest? I kept it short and sweet and you still couldn't comprehend it?
