The Pentagon under the Obama Administration has acknowledged seizing and burning the privately owned Bibles of American soldiers serving in Afghanistan.

Anyone see a pattern?

Every Christian should leave and not join the Military.

If we only had a dedicated leader in Congress to take this fight head on. I mean they want to fight about God and morality, our religious freedoms; bring it on. The country needs a spiritual cleansing, Imo. Maybe, one day before it’s too late, that will happen.

The House Armed Services Committee need to call people in the upper echelon of the military to account IMMEDIATELY about this. If this policy is coming from the White House, as I feel supremely confident it is, it is time to light a fire under Obama that will not go out!!!!! Criminally outrageous and slanderous are words that come to mind, but somehow do not come close to the magnitude of the circumstances.

Meanwhile, Major Hasan still collects a military check and awaits a trial that should have taken place many months ago.

“Why would military leadership be meeting with one of the most rabid atheists in America to discuss religious freedom in the military. That’s like consulting with China on how to improve human rights.”

“This language from Weinstein that Christians who share their faith or offer comfort to others from their faith in Jesus Christ is “sedition and treason” is a treasonous statement in and of itself.”

This says exactly what I think. Weinstein should be prosecuted for “sedition and treason” because he is attempting to deny military personnel 1st Ammendment Rights. In essence, he is attempting to suppress the COTUS...and “overthrow” a COTUS protected environment and government. That is TREASON.

I am sick to my soul of atheists that seem to think the COTUS provides them with a “religon free” America....it does no such thing.

The ONLY time someone has a complaint coming regardling religion in the public forum is IF they are FORCED to be recruited into a religious belief system. There are some that take great offense if a service member expresses “thanks to God” in a talk....not anything forcing anyone to believe anything. Just the mere mention of God is considered offensive.

It is my contention that “lack of belief” is a religion in of itself. So, to force silence on Christian belief is to FORCE a “unbelief” belief on others....which is coercive.

I call on all Southern Baptist children to consider a stint in the military. It’s time to make it happen.

Colo. Sheriff Alleges Shock Training to TheBlaze: DHS-Bound Official Warned Against ‘Christians
************************

"The Obama administration’s Department of Defense was caught training U.S. troops that Catholics, orthodox Jews, and evangelical Christians are to be considered “religious extremists,” even equating the major religions representing more than half of Americans with truly violent groups such as al-Qaeda, the Ku Klux Klan, and Hamas. After the explosive revelations hit the headlines, outrage promptly ensued. Now, critics are calling for an immediate public apology to the soldiers exposed to the hateful propaganda, as well as to the Christian and Jewish communities targeted in the presentation.

The latest scandal to hit the Obama administration and its handling of the military surrounds a so-called “Equal Opportunity” training course [33-pg PDF file] presented to U.S. Army Reserve forces in Pennsylvania. During the presentation, troops were subjected to a slideshow that included a segment on what was dubbed “religious extremism.” At the top of the list — the very first item — was “evangelical Christianity” in the United States. Also included were “ultra-Orthodox” Jews, Catholicism, fundamentalist Mormons, and “Islamophobia.”

PENTAGON TAPS ANTI-CHRISTIAN EXTREMIST [Weinstein] FOR RELIGIOUS TOLERANCE POLICY [April 28, 2013]

"Today, we face incredibly well-funded gangs of fundamentalist Christian monsters who terrorize their fellow Americans by forcing their weaponized and twisted version of Christianity upon their helpless subordinates in our nation’s armed forces."

Those words were recently written by Mikey Weinstein, founder of the Military Religious Freedom Foundation (MRFF), in a column he wrote for the Huffington Post. Weinstein will be a consultant to the Pentagon to develop new policies on religious tolerance, including a policy for court-martialing military chaplains who share the Christian Gospel during spiritual counseling of American troops.

Weinstein decries what he calls the “virulent religious oppression” perpetrated by conservative Christians, whom he refers to as “monstrosities” and “pitiable unconstitutional carpetbaggers,” comparing them to “bigots” in the Deep South during the civil rights era.

Well....we can't say they didn't warn us. The path is clear.

They just appointed a rabid Christian-hater who pens virulent anti-Christian vomit, worthy of a jihadist imam, to develop military policies on religious tolerance.

Years ago I learned an important business lesson. A company that lays off mostly or only Christians does so because they are about to or just did something that's very illegal.
