StayingInspired.com: An Online Community and Blog about Christianity, Church, and the Military











Star City, Arkansas (PRWEB) January 29, 2011

StayingInspired.com, an online community and blog about Christianity, church, and the military, has released several new pages, including “Military Support Groups,” “Religion in the Military,” and “Retired Military Health Care.”

The page “Military Support Groups” from StayingInspired.com describes three unique support groups dedicated to causes for United States military members and their families. The page characterizes Veterans Corporation as a non-profit organization that offers financial advice to veterans looking to start a small business. Pillows For Soldiers is a charitable group that uses donations to send pillows to soldiers, veterans, and the families of deceased soldiers. Finally, the author considers the American Freedom Foundation as one of the most important military support groups for providing medical care and other services to veterans and their families.

“Religion in the Military,” published on StayingInspired.com, explains the relationship between religious beliefs and military personnel. The page comments on why military members are forbidden from preaching while in uniform. It also notes that the majority of soldiers, up to 85%, are Christian. Furthermore, the author dictates that military chaplains, non-combat soldiers available for conducting religious ceremonies and counsel, must be endorsed by a religious group. Finally, the page describes the Military Religious Freedom Foundation, a group that protects the religious rights of soldiers.

“It is no secret that members of the U.S. military have access to the best health care available in the country,” begins StayingInspired.com on the page “Retired Military Health Care.” The author discusses various TRICARE, the overarching military health care program, options available for retirees, including TRICARE Prime, Standard and Extra. TRICARE Prime is the cheapest of the three, though the page mentions that it requires the use of military hospitals or care facilities. The article warns that retired members of the Reserve are not eligible for these programs until their 60th birthday.

Atheist Community Denounces Supreme Court Ruling Upholding Use of “Under God” in Pledge of Allegiance

(PRWEB) June 15, 2004

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

Atheist Community Denounces Supreme Court Ruling Upholding Use of “Under God” in Pledge of Allegiance

San Diego, CA – June 14, 2004 – The online secular community Secularity.com has denounced today’s ruling by the Supreme Court that retains references to God in the Pledge of Allegiance. “Today’s 8-0 decision was moral cowardice.” said a spokesman for Secularity.com. “The Supreme Court made a political decision to avoid controversy, completely ignoring an unconstitutional favoring of religion.” Many legal experts have stated that, however controversial, “Under God” is a statement that God exists, and thus an endorsement of religion.

Secularity.com, an online community of atheists, agnostics, and humanists, holds the position that in a society based on freedom of religion, no religion should be favored or discriminated against, including the lack of religion – and that including “under God” in a daily oath recited and/or listened to by all schoolchildren is plainly in violation of freedom of religion. They argue that to favor the inclusion of “under God” in the Pledge of Allegiance is to favor changing our form of government from a free Democracy to a Theocracy. One member of Secularity.com, who asked to remain anonymous due to religious discrimination, stated “To believe in a God is to believe in a false code of ethics. Faith in a false belief system is the primary cause of war, and the primary cause of our social problems. …forcing millions of schoolchildren to hear or recite “there is a God” every day is indoctrination.”

Secularity.com states that in America, freedom of religion does not apply to those who choose no religion, and the religious majority frequently imposes their beliefs on the secular minority. Secularity.com asserts that those with secular beliefs are more lawful, and have stronger moral base, than the religious. They point to studies showing that while 14% of Americans do not worship a deity, less than half of one percent of the prison population is Atheist. Adam Pedersen, president of Secularity.com, states, “The basis of true morality is secularity.”

Secularity favors the removal of all references to God from all public slogans & assets, include the Pledge of Allegiance, public buildings, and currency.
