Many theists are deeply nihilistic without their faith. I don't think this would be a wise idea.

Good job. I thought it seemed a little funny that a camcorder would be allowed in a supposed Pentagon briefing.

They'd only do that if they wanted riots in the streets. Religion is the best form of crowd control.

I think Napoleon said it best, with something along the lines of "religion exists to keep the poor from killing the wealthy".

Good job. I thought it seemed a little funny that a camcorder would be allowed in a supposed Pentagon briefing.


Occam's Razor, people.

a) Why would there be such a program? Our government is deeply saturated with religious figures, and there is ZERO public mandate in the US for curtailing religion, anywhere. Religions fighting each other? Absolutely. Removing religiosity from a brain? Literally the least likely program we would ever try.

b) If there were such a program, why would there be a PowerPoint briefing about it?

c) As has already been said - a Camcorder, with perfect quality, as if it had been set up in the open, and intercut with slides from the PowerPoint? Really?

d) FunVax website starts yammering about birth control getting in your FunVax (no! You got your FunVax in my birth control!)...


... aaaaand, we're done here.

DarnoKonrad: Many theists are deeply nihilistic without their faith. I don't think this would be a wise idea.

On the contrary:

By bringing their nihilism to the surface it would greatly limit the damage they do to society. They couldn't hide and justify their evil behind the name of God like these assholes do. (new window)
