Interesting Interview

Here's an interesting extract from an interview the main character from Body Of War did on Billboard.com:

"You want to know why I became an atheist? Well, I became very depressed and despondent over the idea that we were going to Iraq instead of Afghanistan. So I went to the local battalion doctor to see if they could give me something to help make the voices in my head to shut the *beep* up. And he told me it was standard army procedure before they diagnosed anybody with psychiatric illness or prescribed them any medication for them to go see the chaplain.

I've always been agnostic, and I went, but I thought, "I have to do what I have to do to get the pills." The chaplain looked me square in face and said, "I think you'll feel better when you get over to Iraq and start killing people." So I stood up and said, "Thank you, sir, for confirming everything I thought about religion. I'm gonna go get my Prozac." And that's what I did."

Hmmm ... says more about these white Christian Fundamentalists more than anything else. And these buggers then wonder why "they hate us". Sheesh!
