that quote was used in one of my taglines.
"When a Chaplain has to avoid using the name of Jesus Christ something is damned wrong with this world."
It's the same old battle of Good Vs Evil but it's moved to a new frontline. Time to attack the enemy!
There's the solution, right there; Discharge these troops and refuse to induct any more Christians. This would then alleviate any need for Christian Chaplins.(Sarcasm off)
**Military chaplains told to shy from Jesus**
Excuse me, this is discrimination!
That is not a "prayer" then - so why call it such.
BTTT
Its downright shameful that this is even a story.
"You know, it's hard to believe this is happening in America."
Well, I know I make people uncomfortable when I say this, but there's such a thing as the worldwide organized hard left (WOHL), the successor to International Communism. Their current priority goal is simple: weaken and/or destroy the US. They are attacking our nation at every in every part of its foundation---one important part, of course, being religion.
Freedom of religion in China is quite illusory. Catholicism is completely banned because it is viewed as adherence to a competitive hierarchy. They have even set up their own "fake Catholic church" that is just like a regular Catholic Church, except that has no connection to the Catholic hierarchy.
nor is there much real freedom of any sort in Russia today, although it is obviously less strictly controlled than under communism.
So much for the "peace dividend."
"There are more people living under Communism today, than there were before the Iron Curtain fell in the 1980's."
How so?
Population numbers-wise.
Count up all the people in China, Viet Nam, North Korea, Laos, et al, under communism today.
