The Military Secular Atheist Agnostic Freethinker Prayer
It seems some elected official has decided to try and get a bill introduced to make all prayers in the US Military "Christian." Personnaly I don't want any prayer in the military, but I know that won't happen.
So here is my responce to the matter....
“Let us bow our head and pray….
To the Civil Servant Super Grades who over see the purchase of our equipment from the lowest bidder…..
To the Civil Servants who have so little time for us in their daily duties who are paid good wages and benefits who are supposed to support us but don‘t want to be bothered by us….
To the lobbyists who make large significant donates to our elected officials of all political parties,
To the corporations of the private sector who provide the goods and services to us, who serve in the military, at the lost cost to produce,
To the contractors who are there to do the jobs normally done by those in the military so as not to have a draft and be an imposition to the people of our country, the United States of America, and who would normally be called "War Profiteers",
The the Congressional Military Industrial Complex who make up enemies of our country so they can profit from them,
To the Special Interest Groups who so desire to impose their half-witted and totally unrealistic will upon us in uniform so you can feel good about yourselves,
To those of the Baby Boomer Generation who claimed themselves to be homosexuals, or got married, or whose families had political connects so we avoided military service during Viet Nam to chase the all so Mighty Dollar, who now, as elected officials have no qualms of sending us to war because that’s what the polls say to do,
To the crazy religious leaders and their followers who think nothing of devoting their lives to some fictions invisible guy in the sky who has nothing better to do then spy on you all day long,
PLEASE LEAVE US THE HELL ALONE AND LET US DO OUR JOB!”
Amen…..

I Like it! You should mail that to every member of the armed forces I believe you would get that popping up in some very strange places indeed.

Wow! That's the first prayer I've ever heard in the military that makes sense. I'm tempted to print it out and give it to some Army chaplains I know.

The word "prayer" is a medieval, polarizing word; an activity that should be banned in the military workplace. It's closely related to the word/concept, "worship." Worship? *Really*?
Humans bow to, chant together to, and make offerings to the magical beings they 'worship.'
How sickeningly primitive.
i want to protest when ppl pray in my workplace (i'm on active duty). it's effing nauseating. so much for the (American) constitutional separation of church and state!
besides, unless they're saying, "Thank you" to their imaginary, superpowerful entities, praying is a lot like...begging (self-respect much, anyone?) -
