"Atheists in foxholes" is overused, but...

Post by drl2 » Tue Sep 07, 2010 11:05 am

In my insomnia I came across an interesting story about a TGD-toting atheist assigned to protect an army chaplain.
Who needs a signature anyway?

The chaplain sounds like a nutter, and his atheist bodyguard like the sanest person on earth. Quelle surprise. :what:
...
The chaplain was struck both by RP2 Chute's command of the Book of Revelation, and his refusal to take it seriously. "He's familiar with the Christian doctrine, but he chooses not to believe it," says the chaplain, a slender-faced, soft-spoken man with a fringe of gray in his black hair. "That's what I find puzzling."
...
This from someone who believes that the Earth is 6,000 years old and evolution is a lie. :funny:

"He trusts God to keep him safe," says RP2 Chute. "And I'm here just in case that doesn't work out."
