Thanks for the link. I met former Army Captain Jason Torpy at the SSACon09 a couple weeks ago. He was representing the Military Association of Atheists and Freethinkers. Think it's about time to offer some volunteer time to the MAAF.

This actually is a rather good site. I post rss threads from it. They do an excellent job of making "fundies" look completely ridiculous
