Harvard's New Chief Chaplain Is An Atheist

[Revoltingest]

The American liberal did have some influence over Hanoi. From 67 onwards
the press sympathized with the Communists. Singers like Lenon called for
'peace' as if America started the war. Actresses like Fonda did their bit to make
Soviet and Maoist backed killers look like freedom fighters. Academics swallowed
Hanoi's propoganda hook like and sinker - simply because they wanted to. And of
course the demonstrators showed their self hate and virtue signalling.

I'm no fan of Ameristanian commies & socialists....or Nixon,
who had his socialist tendencies (eg, national regulation of
all wages & prices).

An atheist pastor just strikes me as an
emerging & oxymoronic use of the word.
(Change frightens me.)
Ref....

• n. A Christian minister or priest having spiritual charge over a congregation or other group.
• n. A layperson having spiritual charge over a person or group.
• n. A shepherd.

Yes, I wonder what he as a shepherd would do. How would he round up, protect the sheep? And advise them.

Atheists might still be in need of the same support provided by theistic chaplains.

I remember when I was a substitute teacher for a little while (I left) at a Sunday type school for kids at a School for Ethical Culture. I didn't really think about it, but I was young so didn't really probe deeply into what's what in things, I asked the person in charge if they taught about God, and he said, it doesn't come into the curriculum there. As I said, I wondered about it -- but it took me time to think more about these things. Yet these children were placed there by their parents. So what is their model, their teaching? To this day I don't know. On the other hand, many religions don't really teach right from wrong anyway. In other words, children go to school, have parents maybe, and what are they taught? Some parents are alcoholics, some cheat and steal and use violence, so it's surely not by teaching or example from their parents that they learn.
