'Ridiculous' call: Gay advocate wants Christian chaplains out of US armed forces

I think they already are out of the military.

[Old Sarge]

someone without a cogent argument resorting to namecalling. That's all they've got: homophobe, loser, etc.

That's because IN EACH AND EVERY CASE, the attacked person/entity caves, not wanting to be called nasty names and lose their jobs.

Because no one will ever hire you if the Lavendar "H" is carved into your skin.

[Old Sarge]

So when you see standing in the holy place ‘the abomination that causes desolation,’ spoken of through the prophet Daniel — let the reader understand — then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains.

Matt. 24:15-16

[FreedomPoster]

And that is precisely what they want. I do not think it wise to give it to them.

Ridiculous? Chaplains have been pressured to get out since Inauguration Day 2009 and knew about it mov 2008. And before

Military has to go along with federal law. If freedom of speech and religion are not protected by our government who swear to defend the constitution but in fact do not, the military suffers tremendously

Does anyone even know that we have gay pride month in the military? You think the chaplains are allowed to ignore that?

We haven’t had a priest on base in months. No one is coming either

Elections have consequences and the military expects the electorate to take care of them.

The electorate is NOT taking care of the military

Recommending Christians to stay away from that secular-progressive organization may or may not be giving them what they want, but believers are finding an increasingly hostile environment and NOBODY stands for them.

Just this week, the son of a former schoolmate asked me about joining the Air Force... I told him he’d save himself a lot of pain by avoiding it.

Ping to an article.

[ScottinVA]

Maybe Donald Trump will do it

Do what? Have you heard him speak out against the SCOTUS ruling on homo "marriage?" If so, please link a source, because I haven't

[ScottinVA]

I’m praying that Mike has a “Damascus Road” experience.

I'm hoping he has an "augur into the ground after a 30,000-foot drop" experience.

[tanknetter]

“grinding teeth and anguished moans ...”

Sounds like something he’s all too familiar with

"the only honourable thing that these losers can do is to fold up their uniforms, turn in their papers, and get the [expletive] out of the American military chaplaincy."

That quote alone should have Weinstein barred from serious consideration by any decision maker within the Department of Defense. "Losers" in describing a citizen with a different religion than your own (for no religion is a position on religion if not itself a religion).

It also reveals an incredible lack of concern for the American warrior who comes to us from a variety of homes and backgrounds all across the USA. There are Baptists, Catholics, Pentecostals, Jews, Methodists, etc. These troops come to us from a host of backgrounds. The chaplains are a group of fully ordained representatives of those various religious sentiments from around the nation. Their primary job is providing direct or general religious support. They are required to be representatives of the denominations from which they come.

I was glad the general dismissed (and dissed) the guy's request.

Barcky is NOT going to be happy.......

[Salvation]

Archdiocese of the Military Services, USA

Pray for these men who serve other men by bringing them sanity among chaos.

We will ALL be part of an “army” soon, methinks

[ScottinVA]

We will ALL be part of an “army” soon, methinks

I think so, too. I also believe somewhere boxed away in a warehouse is the round fired by a DHS jackbooted thug that will end my life. And if dying is Jesus' name is my destiny, then so be it. I can't think of a more glorious end.

[ScottinVA]

*IN Jesus’ name

Look at the upside:

You don’t have to waste any dough on life insurance or long term care policies.

[ScottinVA]

True.

All Christians should get out and see how they do without over 75% of the population in recruitment. Already, ministers who at one time would counsel young men to go to military academies and into the armed forces are telling their children to learn a trade or go to college.

One church near to me is a mini small business administration for their medium sized flock. A rich old man with millions set up a service project with some other old retired guys to review business proposals for start up grants. They also mentor young and unemployed people and are building networks with Christian employers in their church and other churches.

In an oppressive society, it is best for the targeted to work for themselves and network with one another within, but outside the haters’ harassing and hating society. Otherwise, you will be sexually harassed by minority racists, homos and whores at work and they will force you to deny your faith to “fit in.”

This movement to Christian economic and social independence will grow and it will be important for Christians to find and use Christian owned businesses and investors.

We have to examine ourselves on where we have already compromised too far to fit into humanism’s anti-Christ demands and nutso society and go back to who we are as Christians which is a heck of a lot more balanced, happier and kinder way of life. This could turn out to be very good for Christians if they handle it right...like Christians.

Supporting homosexuals is supporting their mental illness and their childish calls for this sort of crap.
