Question for Christians:

First background— I am a Jew who was always uncomfortable being involved in prayer “...in the name of Jesus...” —and that was before becoming a super-duper-ultra-Orthodox Jew.

So what’s the difference to a Christian if he/she just says, “In G-d’s name...’ instead of Jesus? Aren’t they the same entity to you? And if so, why not make others more comfortable to “include” them or make them want to be a part—or to have more of a positive influence on them?

From a Constitutional perspective, I do hold that the Chaplains can say what they want, and those who don’t feel comfortable can self-identify and separate from that part of the activity (although I would’ve had a hard time walking out of my former squadron mate’s change of command as a young buck O-3, let alone as a junior enlisted sailor or airman.
