Lawmakers battle over push to create military 'chaplain' for atheists | Fox News
My question is, why would an athiest need/want a chaplain?
It may be a gambit with an eye toward eliminating the military chaplain program entirely.
Some new atheists are rabid prosthelytizers, convinced, all historical evidence to the contrary, that eliminating religions will cure all our ills, so I wouldn't put it past them. Tolerance of the beliefs of others is not their bag.
For some it's all about being priviledged and yet still being able to claim membership in an oppressed group. Being a victim has lots of advantages in America these days, such as being insufferably self-righteous, having one's half baked grievances taken seriously by at least some people, and never having to take responsibility for one's own stupid mistakes and failings.
