Here's the thing- I absolutely agree that Christians are being persecuted by this administration, especially in the military. I think it's wrong the way she was treated. I have one problem with her situation: It's not her computer or desk. It's the US Government's desk. If they tell you to remove personal stuff off your desk or their computer you do it. Even if you're being singled out. Its not your property. I don't think this particular hill was a good one to die on. Not this specific case, anyway.

Change the message to gay marriage and see if the same result occurs.

I bet no.

[ClearCase_guy]

What you say is true.

We learned around week 2 of USMC Boot Camp that the military is not a democracy.

So, cross-dressing and sharing bunks and tranny shows and parades are fine... wow

[Talisker]

Both lower court and the appellate court ruled that the Religious Freedom Restoration Act did not apply to her case because displaying a Bible verse does not constitute religious exercise.

[Disambiguator]

displaying a Bible verse does not constitute religious exercise.

If that doesn't, what does?

Sterling, who represented herself at trial,...

Well, IMO that was a mistake.

[DiogenesLamp]

This document needs to go at the top of every one of these such threads. It demonstrates the LIE! that has been passed off on us.

Obama scores a two-fer. Attacks Christians and further lowers military morale - at the same time.

[OftheOhio]

As an old Marine this wants me to go down there and slap some sense into some people. My time in the Marines we were encouraged to have some religion.

[Amendment10]

"If they tell you to remove personal stuff off your desk or their computer you do it."

I agree. Romans 13:1 teaches that God has established all authority, God’s command not to sin taking precedence over everything.

As you indicated, it was not a good hill to die on.

[SECURE AMERICA]

I sure do miss when we had leaders like Reagan. We would be having major changes in our top ranking officers in the military if this shit would have happened on his watch

[manc]

OK to have rainbows and homosexual crap though I bet.

Post “Aluha Akbar” on there and see if anyone cares.

It would be a shame if everyone this administration has abused and marginalized were to simply fade away.

Her point was that all the other Marines were permitted to have their personal stuff in their cubicles. If so, it is viewpoint discrimination.

The NCO is claiming he interpreted her verse as some kind of negative comment directed toward the leadership. That's probably what the Marine lawyers will base their case on, trying to stay away from the religious freedom issues.

It will be hard to sell with the verse being: ““No weapon formed against me shall prosper.”

Is 54:17 - “no weapon forged against you will prevail, and you will refute every tongue that accuses you. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, and this is their vindication from me,” declares the LORD.”

Last note: we were taught by the greyer heads when I was a baby Area Defense Counsel, “Choose your occasions to fall on your sword, because 1) it hurts, and 2) people get bored by the sight of blood.”

[I want the USA back]

Obama using the military to eliminate Christianity.

[VerySadAmerican]

Yet muslims are free to practice their religion. Every Christian officer should resign. Go ahead and let the muslims run the army. 9 out of 10 soldiers would balk.

[Maudeen]

Well, I hope someone offers her a 6 figure salaried career. Probably her superior officer hasn’t been to Sunday School. If you believe in Jesus, you automatically take Him on the job, everywhere. That is where we have gone wrong as a nation. . . .Christians going into hiding and not standing up for their God-given rights. The churches have become lukewarm and for many impotent.
