Military chaplains who adhere to traditional Christian teaching find themselves with targets on their backs in Joe Biden’s military. Its amorphous definition of “bigotry” clearly extends to the historic teachings of Christianity about the natural moral law. Earlier this year, a chaplain who merely criticized transgenderism in a Facebook post was subject to an Army investigation.
A foreshadowing of the persecution of Christian military chaplains could already be glimpsed under the Obama-Biden administration. In 2010, a top Army official described conservative Christian members of the military as “bigoted” and said those who can’t support the LGBT agenda “need to get out.”
That view is even more pronounced today among Biden’s military brass. Biden has selected Brenda Sue Fulton, a prominent LGBT activist and outspoken critic of orthodox Christians, to the Pentagon post that oversees military chaplains. Republican senators drew attention to the outrageousness of this nomination at her confirmation hearing last week. Fulton has argued that religious freedom should not “mean conservative Christians can dictate their beliefs to the rest of us.”
“I think you’ll understand why so many members of this committee and the Senate do not think you are fit to take over this position,” Sen. Tom Cotton said to Fulton at her hearing.

One of those leftie nuts who think the truth of scriptures should be subject to popular opinion and synodal votes.
