Interesting that you would choose to call someone with 4 grandkids "son". Also interesting that you should object to the way other Believers choose to worship the Lord.

I won't quote Psalm 150 or Matthew 7:1, as I know you know them. Lost people just need an opportunity to be found....

We need to avoid the performer-audience relationship in worship.

Are you suggesting that Jesus and the apostles were in error when they sang psalms together after the last supper, before our Lord was crucified?

They were all worshipping. They were all participating. There was no performer and no audience.

Killer is also interesting,,, OK.

"Killer" as in the sense of "That's awesome..."

Should've included the < /sarc > tag

I went to OSUT (boot camp/AIT) at Fort Benning in 2004; On Sundays we had the choice to go to a service (any spiritual service - even wicca - whatever) or stay back and clean the barracks. I think the Drill Sergeants just wanted us to get out of the Barracks - as that was usually our only opportunity to do anything not Army related. I think nothing is fair in the Army and that's how it should be. You don't have many individual rights in the Army - play it their way or don't play. And it s*cks going through it - but it truly is the right way. I think these guys just want to whine and b*tch (and found a reporter to listen to them). The Army ain't about being fair and shouldn't have to try to be. If the company commander wants you to go to a Muslim Rock Concert and you don't want to go - fine - Stay back and clean the barracks. Nobody is getting hurt here. In this incident they didn't force anybody either way. Spiritually raped - hah! Poor soldiers had to clean the barracks - awww - really? Big yawn on my part. Army life ain't fair - awww -really? Another big yawn.

If these men would have just shot their fellow soldiers when they returned from the concert while yelling "Allah aqbar!", they would have been given counseling and free legal assistance, and been defended by the the media and the Obama regime.

Frowning takes 68 muscles.
Smiling takes 6.
Pulling this trigger takes 2.
I'm lazy.

That's the way it was back in 1986 as well.

 

Clean the barracks... fine - been there did that - but get "probed"?  No. 

 

The idea of being "probed" for skipping a "Christian" concert wasn't even on the radar.

 

The Soviets were the ones who did the dogmatic indoctrination back then - not us.

Son can also be used in different manners, you should know that, and a 40 year old man can be a grandfather but still young enough to be the speakers son, i have a daughter with 4 grand children. and another daughter with 2.

I do not object to the way any one else believes, or what kind of music they like, i just stated my opinion of it, and again i think its trash, and if you do not agree with me , which i am sure you don,t, i will not try to trash you or insult you just because you have a different opinion. my comment did not get personal with any one.
