Yes I do and I'm in there with them. I would be HONORED to be in a foxhole with a Jewish person. They believe and so do I in God. This is not about saying how you can worship. This argument on religion comes from when America won WW2. The Communists, Nazi's and the Japanese vowed to beat us from within. This is where this arguement comes from an no one gets it. I really don't know where you stand on this. If you understand what I mean now that's great. If you don't like my thoughts then understand this. I would be HONORED to be in a foxhole with a Jewish person. If you happen to be on the other side and don't want the Jewish person and I to believe and worship then you are our ENEMY and we will both be fighting you and watching eachothers back. You choose, I'm in the foxhole now and my Jewish Buddy and I have you in our sights. I would hope you understand and that you aren't our enemy. GOD BLESS AMERICA and all who have defended HER and DON'T leave the JEWISH PEOPLE out because they have defended America along with the Gentiles.
Thank you for your reply. My point is that the complaints within the U.S. Air Force Academy aren't coming from atheists--because there are very few atheists there--but from people with different traditions and approaches to evangelizing. Some cadets are trying to share their faith with other people in a way that has gotten somewhat too aggressive and disrespectful of other people's traditions, and with the support of certain members of the faculty.
It's not just people wanting to share their faith in Christ--that's understandable. It's repeatedly approaching Catholics and Jews who don't want to talk about the issue and then getting angry when they aren't won over. I know that few people intend to be disrespectful, but that 18 and 19 year olds can get excited about stuff that is really important to them and not recognize when they are crossing a certain line. The Air Force Academy is the first place that many of them have been in a huge environment that is strongly supportive of evangelical and pentacostal churches, often because officers are personally involved in the churches and because they'rein Colorado Springs, so they may feel like it's a sanctioned approach. That's what this issue is all about. It's not about atheists taking over the USAFA, and it's not about taking away people's freedom of religion, it's about Air Force Cadets not feeling like they have to convert to certain evangelical sects to be considered a full and respected member of the community, and for officers to treat all cadets with equal respect even if they are of different faiths.
