This doesn’t bother me too much. If there are atheists in the military, they should have someone to go to talk about their issues. I wouldn’t call that person a “chaplain” but they should have someone to help them work through their crises.

Isn't that a contradiction in terms?

If I were an atheist chaplain, this would be my sermon.

“Life sucks then ya die, now get the ____ out of here!”

RE: Isn’t that a contradiction in terms?

Well, Chaplains are expected to serve the spiritual and emotional needs of others.

since atheists don’t believe there are spirits, I guess, that leaves them with emotions.

In this case, we can still have atheistic chaplains...

Sailor: Sir, I'm having a real problem understanding what the meaning of my life is.

Atheist Chaplin: Well, you're really just a product of time plus chance plus chemistry so your life really doesn't have any meaning so don't worry about it. Just be happy.

What do you get when you cross a JW with an agnostic? Someone who goes around knocking on doors, but doesn’t know why.
