air force

"air force removes 'god' from logo", bunch of assholes get pissed

"Jason Torpy, president of the association, said the word "God" had no place in the logo because not all members of the military are religious. "We just hope (the Air Force) can provide more equal opportunities for atheists and humanists in the military.""

makes good sense to me! a lot of atheists get freaked out / turned off by pro-religion talk being brought up in places that have NOTHING to with god / religion... like forever21 printing "john 3:16" on the bottom of it's bags. it's kind of creepy. they have the right to do so, clearly, since it's a private company. but the air force is funded through our taxes so...

""The action taken by the RCO suggests that all references to God, regardless of their context, must be removed from the military," the congressional letter states... "We ask that you reverse this perplexing decision."" ...are you an idiot? how is this a "perplexing decision"? not everyone believes in god, therefore they're uncomfortable with those words plastered on every damn air force motto sign.

"courts consistently have upheld the constitutionality of our national motto, 'In God We Trust,' despite the obvious mention of God.... Religion is a part of this history." ...so is atheism, dumbass! and btw, tradition doesn't make something correct, duh. slavery was legal for a long time, wasn't it? so was segregation. and women not legally being allowed to vote, work, own property. and interracial marriages were illegal too. should we go back to that because of tradition? and btw, the past supreme courts have clearly been in wrong when they upheld non-secular laws. our first amendment that says clearly says it's illegal to do so!


btw, "Doing God's Work with Other People's Money" is a pretty damn funny motto, lol.
