Radical Atheist Who Trashed Billy Graham after His Death Is Set to Become a Navy “Chaplain”
GP ^ | March 14, 2018 | Jim Hoft

Radical atheist Jason Heap is hoping to become a Navy chaplain.

The US Navy is seriously considering the approval of this anti-Christian activist for a spot in its Chaplain Corps.

In February Heap retweeted a post by radical secularist group trashing Rev. Billy Graham after his death.

...

Within a week of re-assigning (and possibly firing) one chaplain for expressing traditionalist Christian beliefs, the Navy is seriously considering the approval of an avowed “non-theistic humanist” for a spot in its Chaplain Corps.

Conservative U.S. House and Senate members are formally urging the Navy not to approve the atheist for the post, noting the Navy can provide all sorts of other programs for non-believers without altering the mission of the long-established Chaplain Corps.

The secular-humanist applicant is Dr. Jason Heap – described by ConservativeHQ.com as a “militant atheist” – the executive director of the United Coalition of Reason who had sued the Navy in 2014 when it rejected his earlier application to become a Navy chaplain.

That suit ended with a non-public settlement, but Heap is back at it again.

...

Now the decision goes to the Navy Chief of Chaplains, Rear Admiral Margaret Kibben, who is retiring soon.

If she agrees, then the final decision rests with Chief of Naval Personnel – Vice Admiral Robert P. Burke.

Just put him on a ship and see how long it takes for somebody to ‘float test’ him. I’m guessing he won’t float long.

Up to the “ticket punchers” in the field.

This is one effed-up commission. Nothing improves. It only gets worse.

The real reason there are no atheists in the foxhole is because they’re such obnoxious ****s that everyone else bayonets their stupid asses.

chap·lain

ˈCHaplən/Submit

noun

a member of the clergy attached to a private chapel,

institution, ship, branch of the armed forces, etc.

How is it even possible for an atheist to be considered for the position let alone accepted?

All this does is prove that atheism is accepted as a religion by the Federal government.

Leftism is really good at creating those. Venezuela comes to mind as a current example.

Joseph Heller (Catch-22) is probably upset that he didn’t think of this one.

He was close - Chaplain Tappman’s assistant was an atheist.

The hedonism just never ends. The anti-Christian left will not form their own organizations. They must infiltrate the age old respected traditions of true Christians. This is just a thought on my part, a hunch, if you will, but I am guessing this man’s pursuit of this position is coming from the LGBT community. It seems like the big push in the military is to be all inclusive of those groups. This will continue until some kind of tipping point happens where people are willing to sacrifice something when they rise up to say, “NO MORE!”

So what does this guy say in the foxhole? “Ya all may die today and I just want you to know you’ll be moldering in the grave ‘cause there’s no sky god and no pearly gates. Good night, everybody!”

I really had a tough time getting this one out of my head last night.

All I could think of was a gravely wounded sailor or Marine, and this guy comes over to them and stands above them:

WOUNDED MARINE: Father...I'm hit pretty bad...I'm bleeding...I'm afraid. Help me.

ATHEIST CHAPLAIN: I am not your father. You don't have to call me that.

WOUNDED MARINE: What? I can't hear you, Father. Could you kneel beside me and be with me?

ATHEIST CHAPLAIN: Well, I can't kneel, that is generally a religious thing, so I don't do that to make a point.

WOUNDED MARINE: What? Father, I am cold. I'm Afraid. I'm dying. I'm not going to make it.

ATHEIST CHAPLAIN: Everybody dies, there isn't anything to worry about, it happens.

WOUNDED MARINE: I have a wife and child. Will I ever see them again?

ATHEIST CHAPLAIN: No. You won't know or see anything when you die, which does seem likely now. Too bad for you. You are just a conglomeration of water, chemicals, and electrical impulses, that completely dissipate when you die, so you just disappear into blackness. Like going under for surgery, except you never wake up again. Same thing happens to your loved ones, so you won't see them either in some kind of childish "afterlife" You just go into a great blackness. Doesn't that sound fun and peaceful?

WOUNDED MARINE: Oh, no...no...that can't be right...why was I put here, what does life mean? (coughs blood, looking very pale and weak now)

ATHEIST CHAPLAIN: There really isn't any meaning to our existence, you are here for such a short time...shorter for you, I think...it doesn't mean anything at all. It is just electrical impulses inside a biological machine that stops working. You know though, these are all good questions. Think of all the time you wasted thinking about the meaning of life, the existence of God, and such. If you had only spent that time working for a non-profit, or enjoying the fruits of life, you wouldn't find yourself asking these kinds of questions as you bleed out on the ground. Hello? You still there? Ah. He's gone. Another one taking the dirt nap.

ATHEIST CHAPLAIN: (looks abstractedly around and shouts out) HEY! ANYONE ELSE NEED A CHAPLAIN HERE? JUST CALL OUT IF YOU NEED ME, I WILL COME RIGHT OVER. BUT IF YOU MENTION GOD, YOU'RE OUT OF LUCK, BECAUSE I AM ON DUTY TODAY.

That was why I posted the picture of Father O’Callahan aboard the USS Franklin in 1945. (He was awarded the Medal of Honor)

That was a man of God. If I am ever hurt, want a man like that providing me spiritual comfort.

Not some metrosexual, LGBTQZ, pathetic, atheist like this person they are considering.

I just do not get it.

He and his supporters, including prominent atheist groups, say that non-theistic service members may need the confidentiality in seeking counseling that only a chaplaincy can provide.

Like what?

Because Barack Obama and friends percolated it in there.

If he sued the Navy in 2014 for being rejected then it was the Obama military who rejected him. Will the Trump military accept him?
