Atheist sues Army

Army Spc. Jeremy Hall sued the government, alleging he has been harassed in the military because he doesn’t believe in God. He is known among fellow soldiers as “the atheist guy,” and he has been called a devil worshipper and gay — both of which are untrue, Hall said.Though Hall doesn’t believe in God, he said he drove colleagues to church while serving in Iraq and paused when they would pray before meals. “Personally, I don’t want [religion] or need it. But I’m not going to get down on anybody else for it,” he said.Hall said his atheism became known after a firefight in Iraq in 2007. His commander asked whether he believed in God. “I said, ‘No, but I believe in Plexiglas,’” Hall recalled. Later, a superior threatened to file charges when he tried to organize a meeting of atheists, he said. Officials wouldn’t comment on the suit, but said discrimination wasn’t tolerated.

This is an update on the Atheist activist (and member of MAAF) who was harassed in Iraq for holding an Atheist meeting. OK the truth is I have a lot to say here, but it’s late and I’ve already taken an Ambien. Bloggers please jump in and do this one for me. Mention the reason we’re fighting, the definition of religious freedom, why it’s good, and why intolerance seems to come from the same two groups of people. I’ll be back tomorrow night.Click here for an uppate

    That is *precisely* what is taught in the Bible. Recall one of the children of Israel being stoned to death for gathering sticks on the Sabbath? I’d say this is light compared to that level of intolerance.

    That was before the teachings of Jesus

    Get off your High horse U-ofl-card, that is exactly what christianity and the bible teaches and you know it. Christianity brings out the worst in people (See current affairs and world history). It is disgusting how you christians keep twisting reality and deceiving people.

    I’m not trying to be on a high-horse, soap box, or any other self-righteous speaking apparatus. But THIS is what we’re taught…again, nothing like what persecution the atheist in this story suffered…

    Jesus Christ:

    “You have heard that it was said, ‘An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.’ But I say to you, Do not resist one who is evil. But if any one strikes you on the right cheek, turn to him the other also; and if any one would sue you and take your coat, let him have your cloak as well; and if any one forces you to go one mile, go with him two miles. Give to him who begs from you, and do not refuse him who would borrow from you. You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’ But I say to you, Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, so that you may be sons of your Father who is in heaven; for He makes His sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust.” (Matthew 5:38:45 RSV)

    This is the one that we were sent to follow. You don’t think the actions of the Christian soldiers in this story were contradictory to teaching like this?

    And religion brings out the war in people.

    Obviously religion has been at the heart of many wars. So has money, power, land, oil, anger, greed, lust and fear, among many other factors. I’m just saying that it’s ridiculous to pin war strictly on religion, which is very commonly done on this blog.

    UFO

    The invasion of Iraq would never have happened without the backing of the religious right – a bunch of ignorant racist war mongers that would do anything for the opportunity to get a couple of conservative appointments to the supreme court. Man were you scammed.

    Jesus Christ:

    As you christians KNOW already you can pick a piece out of your bib-el to support anything you want; war, torture, child abuse, love, hate and, everything in between. Christianity has proven to be worthless at advancing the civility of humans, look at the shrub and his regime; all are less than civilized humans and yet all were and/or are still supported by christians. In fact, a sizable portion of christians still want the same for the future, see the christian support for McShrub. And the call for acknowledging at least support of christianity from the remainder of the candidates.

    If you christians want respect, do something respectful. Get your mythology out of government. The great and vast majority of christians are disgusting.

    Real Christians do not kill. They should not be in the army at all.
