Religious Groups Fear Christian Purge From Military

Townhall ^

[Java4Jay]

Religious liberty groups have grave concerns after they learned the Pentagon is vetting its guide on religious tolerance with a group that compared Christian evangelism to “rape” and advocated that military personnel who proselytize should be court martialed.

Pentagon officials met to discuss a policy called “Air Force Culture, Air Force Standards,” published on Aug. 7, 2012.

Section 2.11 requires “government neutrality regarding religion.”

I guess we have a new “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” Policy in the military! How tolllllerant.

[Doomonyou]

Gee, what about that First Amendment thingy?

[MrB]

That goes hand in hand with my question for leftist politicians -

what is it that you have planned that you can’t do before the people are disarmed?

[boxlunch]

And when Christians are all purged, our military will become the new SS. We’ll have godless, perverted homos, inner city gang warriors, and illegals happy to fill the ranks. And I have no doubt that our Traitor in Chief will direct that we recruit from those groups. At that point, the military would not have any problems firing on Americans! I can also see him sending them overseas to help assist Islamist uprisings in other countries, in the name of “democracy “ .

“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.”

Its a violation of the 1st Amendment as it is a suppression of religion for whatever propose.

Thanks Java4Jay.

Every Christian should leave and not join the Military.

which will work just fine up until the Democrats produce a standing army of atheist/muslim thugs ready to use heavy weapons on men, women, and children.

[Wanderer99]

Actually, Christians and Jews should join the military and be prepared to resist when the time comes. No sense in giving up that tactical position.

Christians and Jews should SECRETLY join the military. That means no letting the enemy know what you believe. That way there might actually be a solid number of individuals who will say NO when Obama or one of his successors gives the order to shoot those crying toddlers into the ditch.

[Wanderer99]

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.”

Muslims extremism not mentioned because they have plenty in common with leftist vermin. Namely the desire to dominate over, torment, and massacre as many helpless human beings as possible.

[EBH]

Amen and Amen! Let us approach this news with a joyous heart and spirit, for the time draws nigh for the true Glory of heaven and earth to come.

[ReformationFan]

That’s the whole point. Libs wish to destroy the military(which they see as “evil”) from within.

[ScottinVA]

Every Christian should leave and not join the Military.

I agree. It'd definitely not the same military I served in....

[Iron Munro]

"I can also see him sending them overseas to help assist Islamist uprisings in other countries, in the name of “democracy“.

It's happening already.

The Obama media called it "Arab Spring".

For Christians and Jews it is Obama's "Islamic Holocaust".

[3boysdad]

That’s excactly what these anti-American “Progressives” are trying to accomplish. It’s quite the Catch 22 dilemma.

[NFHale]

“...Every Christian should leave and not join the Military....”

That’s what the other side wants.

And if that happens, you’ll now have a military full of folks that WILL fire on Americans, that WILL do whatever is ordered with zero conscience problems.

Leaving is not an option.

[Lent]

Every Christian should leave and not join the Military.

I am afraid you are right. I am glad I am already retired, and I told my son not to join either. These people could get so "programmed," that over a period of time, I could see where it might possibly be easy for them to fire on American civilians. Who knows for sure?

I agree. I think it's fair to say the vast majority in the militarily are at least putatively Christian. The afront of this imbecile's commentary on Christians are almost sedititious in an of themselves. Having said that, Christ stated those that live by the sword will die by the sword. That wasn't a moral statement it was a factual statement. If the Christians, putative or not, did not join and current ones left this would devastate the military. Then let this chump pick up a gun and fight for his country. I would not encourage a poor Christian soul to become the guinea pig for this military Christian cleansing.

[TheOldLady]

If the commie bastidges and the petit tyrant kick all the Christians out of the military, we’ll be joined by true patriots in our fight against the America-hating destructo-bots.

[Mark17]

I would not encourage a poor Christian soul to become the guinea pig for this military Christian cleansing.

It is sad, and I am retired Air Force. I think you are right, this would devastate the military, but I believe that is exactly what the intention is. Bring down the armed forces, and our enemies will be here next week. I think this is the desire of most leftists.
