U.S military. If you want to know the truth about what happened to your troop, you must be an athiest.

This is so wrong for so many reasons... By this logic, abortion should not only be a right, but advocated by the right. DWI should get you a bigger faster Hummer (you know, so you could mow many more 'rewardees' to their reward). And murderers should be funded as a public service. This is really advocating a 'culture of life'.

From Andrew Sullivan at Time

A reader pointed me to this stunning passage in an ESPN.com story about the death of Pat Tillman:

[Lt. Col. Ralph] Kauzlarich, [formerly the Army officer who directed the first official inquiry,] now a battalion commanding officer at Fort Riley in Kansas, further suggested the Tillman family's unhappiness with the findings of past investigations might be because of the absence of a Christian faith in their lives.

In an interview with ESPN.com, Kauzlarich said: "When you die, I mean, there is supposedly a better life, right? Well, if you are an atheist and you don't believe in anything, if you die, what is there to go to? Nothing. You are worm dirt. So for their son to die for nothing, and now he is no more — that is pretty hard to get your head around that. So I don't know how an atheist thinks. I can only imagine that that would be pretty tough."
