SUMMARY:Atheists Meetup: Crises of Conscience for Nontheists in the Militar
 y - May 24
DESCRIPTION:Philadelphia Atheists Meetup\n\nSubject:Crises of Conscience fo
 r Nontheists in the Military \n\nSpeaker: Jason Torpy\, President\, Militar
 y Association of Atheists and Freethinkers\n\nFrom the phillyethics.org web
 site:\nNontheists suffer the same ethical dilemmas as other service members
 . We consider the ethics of orders received from our direct superiors and o
 ur civilian leaders in government. Nontheists have additional difficulty fo
 r two primary reasons. First\, we lack the helpful guidance of chaplains\, 
 who are simply not equipped and in some cases not inclined to provide moral
 e support to nontheists. Second\, the overt theistic religiosity of our com
 manders at all levels makes it very difficult for us to serve with a clear 
 conscience without feeling as if we are perpetuating a theocratic regime.\n
 \nThe Ethical Society of Philadelphia holds Sunday platforms every week at 
 11:00 am.  The Society is a religious Humanist organization.  Note: these a
 re formal religious services including music and hymns.\n\nPhiladelphia\, P
