A Majority that is constantly made fun of. Non Baptist like to call us fundilmentist, holy rollers, extremist and on and on. As a child in So. California, even the teachers made crude remarks about my Father, a So. Baptist minister. I was held to a higher standard than the other students and then ridiculed if I did not pass muster. I know a lot about discrimination from people who claim to be "Christian"

I don't know many who call baptists, "holy rollers." That is normally preserved for pentecostal groups.

Nonetheless, if the military is any indication of the larger nation, and I think it is, I'd say that the baptistic groups are our largest denomination.

I think that this is just a smoke screen for change to be forced down the institutions mouth. What do you mean that you cant put up religious posters??? When I was at the Naval Academy I had religious inspirational posters up in my room and I never heard anything flack about it... The Brigade was pissed when we found out that the ACLU was trying to stop the chaplains prayer before noon meal.
As another Southern Baptist Im willing to let everyone believe what they will even if I think that they are wrong. Im in the military to protect our country and constitutional rights. However when somepeople try to force me to change my religious beliefs b.c they dont disagree with yours your discrimination of me is wrong. I think that our country has become too politicaly correct in focususing on cultural and relegious minorities. The politicians and the courts forget that we are "One Nation Under God."
They should start the draft up again... Libs would make good cannon fodder...
