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.

“But I know right from wrong, and good from evil.”
So did I. Ironically, I was wrong :)
That was a beautiful picture. I also think about one of my favorites: a priest in the Civil War era serving Mass to (I think) Union troops.
I bet they put Atheist there now for people who want it.
Praise the Lord, I got saved while in the Army!
Oh, yeah. At some point that guy is going overboard.
Well, I don’t get it right all the time either, that is 100% sure.
What I do know is that when I am unsure, and I apply the “Reasonable Man” approach, I can get an idea.
And then I do the wrong thing...:(
But...I try.
You know, that was the first thing I thought of. But as someone striving to be a Christian, I have to consider other options.
Maybe throw him over...with a rope tied to his foot. From the bow. Pluck him out at the stern, if he avoids the screws.
You wrote it well. Amen and amen!
A great theologian once said “Do or not do, there is no try”.
LOL! I think I know that theologian...:)
So was Yoda an Arminian or a Calvinist?
Just kidding. There’s a LOT of try. That’s an integral part of the story.
Well, atheism is a “religion. “

Maybe our proverbial (if not real) mothers were right: say nothing if it’s impossible to think of something good to say. Flaunting our fallenness gets real old to God. This chap is in sad shape.
I am a retired chaplain. This is a travesty for any unit this chaplain is assigned to. Although we observe restrictions against proselytizing another denomination’s members, we still pray, guide, and counsel under the banner of being a religious presence. When Patton asked his chaplain for a prayer, he did not expect a treatise on the illogic of that assignment... or a recusal.
When injured soldiers asked for prayer, they did not expect a rejection of faith, a thought about positive thinking, or a recusal.
They were concerned with the beyond, the life after life.
The chaplaincy is wrong not to stand for their religious mission.
This country is taking a ride in the porcelain convenience into Oblivion.
I just figured it out. Since his beliefs are the exact opposite of what a chaplain’s should be, he’s trying to get a job about nothing. Sounds like cushy job, like running a supply depot with no supplies.
