Most of us can only go so far astray, before the reaction of others pulls us back on course. But since many progressives spend their lives inside soundproof bubbles of balderdash, they remain oblivious to the guffaws of normal people as they climb out ever further on the creaking limb of liberal absurdity. Their latest joke at their own expense is demanding military chaplains for atheists:
Strange as it sounds, groups representing atheists and secular humanists are pushing for the appointment of one of their own to the chaplaincy, hoping to give voice to what they say is a large — and largely underground — population of nonbelievers in the military.
Joining the chaplain corps is part of a broader campaign by atheists to win official acceptance in the military. Such recognition would make it easier for them to raise money and meet on military bases. It would help ensure that chaplains, religious or atheist, would distribute their literature, advertise their events and advocate for them with commanders.
That is, they want chaplains to spread propaganda to the effect that there is no God and reality just popped into existence by no particular agency for no particular reason, rendering moral values meaningless.
The purpose of military chaplains is to uphold morale. The purpose of wasting taxpayer money on nihilistic nonsense is for moonbats to explain. But then, according to them there's no such thing as purpose. All that exists are the grubby desires of two-legged animals.
