and all those GG civilians better not wear muzzie beards or clothes
and get those buddhas off the desks, too Coz every time I see a symbol of someone’s religion I feel so... proselytized
Waaa!
It’s not someone’s Bible, but your SIN that will make you uncomfortable.
Not God making you uncomfortable, but your own SIN.
God is doing all He can (and all Jesus has done) to remove the curse of your SIN from you.
And His offer is the ONLY way.
US Air Force leading the way to de-Christianize the US military. And the atheist leading the assualt is Mike Weinstein, a retired USAF LTC. 2 of his children went to the USAF Academy like their father, and also complained whenever Christianity was mentioned at the academy.
There must have been a humongous outcry to the DoD and branches of the military over this.
Send that FDR proclamation letter to every military person from general to buck private, and government official from senator to intern, and remind them of Who we should honor!
I watched the video.
Did they ever take the cross down?
Last scene is they are trying to sledge hammer the base of it after trying to sledge hammer the cross arms with no success.
That NEEDS to be sent to EVERY SINGLE SENATOR, CONGRESSMAN, MILITARY OFFICIAL and zero!
The policy as stated makes perfect sense. In fact, I think any Christian should avoid sharing his faith in ways that makes others uncomfortable in a setting where they can’t just walk away. For one thing, I think it is counter-productive, and is mainly intended to help the “Christian” feel good about himself, not to help the listener.
That said, I am sure this policy will be taken well past its specific wording and used to delegitimize any expression of (Christian) faith.
Meanwhile, open homosexuals will be encouraged to take open pride in their proclivities. And others will be disciplined for expressing anything other than celebration of diversity.
I’ve had an epiphany. It all makes sense now. Seeing as it was a pedophilic goat lover who created the cult of islam, having men bend over like that five times a day is not surprising.
Probably not. But he'd curse the living **** out of the goddam sonofabitch who tried to stop him.
I’d like to see some Pentagon bureaucrat try to stop Patton from reading his prayer.
The Air Force needs to start quoting the 1st Amendment which it swore to protect and defend, instead of parroting “laws” which anti-religious expression judges have legislated from the bench.
BTTT
Why would an atheist take offense at a priest reading last rites while he is dying? According to him, it’s just meaningless words.
Truthfully, I have to agree with the military in this one, because of what I have seen in the past.
It is unfair to focus on just Christian or other religious proselytizing as being forbidden on the job, because a LOT of other things are also forbidden.
For example, icons of things considered racist, like Confederate flags, even if they aren’t, are a big no-no. The same with over political endorsements or attacks. You DO NOT do that during duty hours. I noticed that the Masons are very careful about connecting up during duty hours as well.
I knew one junior officer who got a “gag” plastic Voodoo skull sent to him by a friend of his. Within an hour he was visited by his battalion commander who told him to pack it up and take it home, as it had created great upset among the soldiers of the unit.
Even way back when, calling someone a homosexual slur was expressly forbidden, not because it would offend homosexuals, but because somebody might take it seriously, and go off violently against the target of the slur, thinking he was actually a homosexual.
Likewise, nobody ever was to say anything bad about somebody else’s mother. There is one guy in 10,000 who will go into a blind, homicidal rage if you do that.
But back to Christianity. Not too long ago, one particular sect of Christianity had control over a large part of the Air Force Academy, and became very abusive towards not just those of other, or no religions, but even against Christians of other sects. A whole bunch of people got fired because of that. Big scandal.
I saw a senior chaplain fired because he could not distinguish between military policy and the beliefs of his sect, blending the two when giving a lecture before not just US officers, but foreign officers as well. That came close to turning into an international incident.
There is plenty real discrimination against Christians hither and yon, but nothing I’ve seen of late of what the military is doing is any different in a substantial way.
Yes, feel free to share your faith. DO NOT do so during duty hours. Isn’t that clear enough?
Does anyone doubt that this is coming down straight from the Oval Office?
This Administration is anti-Christian. The other Services aren't far behind.
