I'm not an atheist. I'm a Christian and I'm in the Army. I think for myself: I just don't believe that it is necessary to be a Christian to join the military and kill America's enemies.

I don't believe Salvation in Christ is necessary to kill people in combat.

What kind of ridiculous upside down argument is that? No one is asking people to take an oath of Christianity to join the military. What is in question is are Christians getting the same privileges as everyone else to practice their religion. Apparently you think only atheists are should be allowed to apply because most Christians (except you of course) are blood thirsty and on a crusade.

Go away with you liberal water..you look like a lap boy for the Christianophobe Rosie O'Donald.

Uh-oh...

Haven’t you realized that those of us are actually in the military cannot have an opinion regarding it, if our opinion falls outside the accepted ‘norms’ of others here?

If you don’t think Jessica Lynch is a hero - You’re a liberal

If you think things in Iraq are getting worse...after you have been there 3-4 times - You’re a liberal

If you think the Army shouldn’t be distributing biased religious material to all soldiers - Then you are definitely a liberal.

Seriously, I doubt there would be such an uproar over the DoD refusing to distribute packages containing Mormon or Islamic material.

But yeah, we all must be dirty, stinking, filthy, God-hating, freedom-loathing people.

No, they don't have to. It's called a volunteer army for a reason.

No one has claimed that it is necessary. Not sure how you made this leap.

If you’re a Christian, why do you have such a negative tag line? You seem to be a very angry Christian and I’m sorry that you are.
