They are going to force Catholic and Orthodox Jewish Chaplains to perform ceremonies they are forbidden to perform?

Since DADT was repealed, I have been on the record stating that Christian Chaplains will be disciplined and even Court Martialed if they defend basic Biblical values in the face of pro-queer military regulations.

And this article just confirms the facts. Christian Chaplains in our Armed Forces are an endangered species.

Obastard is doing his best to eradicate any and all Godly virtues left in the military today.

I assume a military chaplain is subject to whatever rules (or stupid rules) that come from up the chain of command. Including the retard-in-chief.

If so, once again we have Obama waging a war on Christians. We’re apparently supposed to set aside beliefs (i.e. abortion is wrong, same sex marriage is wrong, etc.) because that’s what President Urkel wants. How about he just out himself as a muslim and a commie and get it over with? At this point there wouldn’t be any shock value, we already know it.

Why wouldn’t you want someone to participate in your joyous union who actually agrees with what you are doing and doesn’t insult their religious conscience????

Because......

Rest assured that Muslim chaplins (an oxymoron if there ever was one) will be excused.

The separation of government intrusion into matters of religious principle are gone under Obamunism.

The ACLU is missing in action as usual.

Celebrate sin, marry members of the same sex.

Pay more taxes to redistribute your wealth to the poor because Jesus said we are our brother’s keeper, so sayeth Lord Obama.

I do not belong to Barack Hussein Obama’s secular-humanist-communist-islamist version of Christian and CANNOT be required to pay indulgences to it. His religious argument to paying more taxes should have negated any requirement to pay taxes at all.

I entered seminary back in 1997 with the express intent of becoming a chaplain. I had been in the military at that point for 10 years.

By the time I graduated with my doctorate, I no longer wanted to be a chaplain. I could read the handwriting on the wall. I know me: my mouth...my uncompromising nature...and I knew what was coming. I'm still enlisted and it was the best decision I ever made.

Isn’t the seperation of Church and State supposed to be a two-way street?

I know, I know, its not in the USC. I’m just saying the left is always playing the church/state card anytime someone whispers a prayer 500 ft of any government facility but the government can now supoosedly make church leaders go against their beliefs.
What is next submitting to Islam?

order..to perform...same sex marriage

A Chaplain cannot be so ordered. It would be an illegal order. Chaplains already are required to be full representatives of their denomination, that is, their endorsing faith group.

It is illegal to obey an illegal order.

I speak as a retired chaplain.

Beyond that, this really is an issue of God's place in the life of any chaplain. Religious liberty is a RIGHT granted by God. No UCMJ, Congress, President, or superior officer can take it away.

Therefore, even if this were to be instituted as law, it would still be illegal in the eyes of God and must be opposed by any chaplain.

Quite frankly, if we have to shut most of the military down in order to avoid sodomizing it completely, this is the honorable thing to do.

We can get it going strong again when we have some measure of sanity restored to government.

I have "the" solution:

Someone has to interview a Mooselimb Chaplain (video taped) and get their reaction or opinion on record and release it publicly.

I can guarantee this issue would go away overnight after all, it is a "fact" that the NEUTERED Military (especially the WUSS, REMF Joint Chiefs) will do anything to keep from "offending" Mooselimbs...even if that means that our brave Warriors suffer as a result, so this would a a no brainer for the 90 Day Wonders at the Pentagon...especially, when they got a call from the Oval Office and were told to stand down by the Islamic Jihadist Appeaser in Chief, himself.

People just don’t want to pay public welfare benefits for two lunatics sodding off all day.

Muslims would just kill homosexuals.

Taking into consideration broken clocks tell the correct time twice each day, maybe “spread the other cheek” is not a good public policy.

In your unabridged Oxford Dictionaries, the word “faggotry” denotes the bundling of steel to be hammered or rolled together.

Mammalian evolution is entirely heterosexual.

 Monogamy is not required for evolution, monogamy is a tenet of religion.

To prohibit polyandry and polygyny is an ecclesiastic rule of law.

To establish an ecclesiastic standard of monogamy for homosexuals is nothing but RELIGIOUS FAGGOTRY.

Democrats live in a fantasy world where fairies wave magic wands over their anus and babies materialize out of thin air.

All men are born of a woman.

If you have to tell grown men that babies will not come out of their rectums, there is no hope for any rational discourse...
