Solomon: Atheist Chaplains Would Encourage Soldiers To Kill Themselves | Right Wing Watch

A very painful 3 minutes to listen to. As most atheists do not believe in an afterlife so "encouraging" one to suicide would be going against the idea that we should live life to the fullest as it is the only one we got. And once again perpetuating the myth that since we do not believe in a deity, we obviously have nothing to live for,,,sigh!! I would be more afraid of a theistic chaplain encouraging suicide so one could have their "reward" of heaven and immortality,,,

The whole thing really did not sit well with host Stan Solomon, who said that atheism is "basically sticking your head up your butt and wondering why it's dark" and said that being an atheist chaplain is like being "a sensitive cannibal who says grace before he chews your leg off."

After Klingenschmitt claimed there was no need for atheist chaplains in the military and the whole thing is really just a way to undermine the Christian chaplains and reduce our numbers," Solomon asserted that it was all a part of the effort to implement President Obama's health care policy by encouraging wounded soldiers to kill themselves.

"An atheist chaplain," Solomon declared, "would be the perfect vehicle for convincing wounded warriors that they should end their lives because there's nothing in the future and there's nothing now, so why not just save money and kill themselves":
