: Dispatches from the Culture WarsGod and Suicide Prevention in the Military
By Ed Brayton
A few weeks ago I mentioned a powerpoint presentation by a military chaplain that advocated creationism as a means of keeping soldiers from committing suicide, but I couldn't make it public yet. Now my friend Chris Rodda, who discovered the powerpoint on the web, has published about it at DailyKos so you can see the details.
As Chris notes, this presentation was given at a mandatory meeting to more than 1000 soldiers and sent out as an email to 5000 more. Capt. Christian Biscotti says that the solution to suicide in the military it to convince soldiers that evolution is false and that they were created specially by God. Much of it is based on Rick Warren's Purpose Driven Life.
