Cogadh

My son has never, I repeat he never had a problem with or without going to services. He did not attend services during Tech School and was still able to obtain the highest "Rope" possible during that phase of his Air Force training.

Unless you know something we all don't and this guy was "Preaching" then please enlighten us. However what I read was his comment "Bear one another's burdens, and so you will fulfill the law of Christ,"

Dang is this not what is being taught in the Military, to watch each other back. Of course you would know that since you DO have personal experience.

Maybe I am wrong but it appears to me the mere mention of Christ has pushed your buttons. Personally the statement "Christian Mafia" in itself I find offensive.

I AM a Christian. Christ is my savior.

You are categorically wrong. The AF is not a religious institution created to glorify Christ. It exists to, and only to, kill people and break things in defense of the nation.

Training schools aren't so bad, but at many permanent stations, supervisors are prejuciced against unbelievers and even Chistians who do not profess it loudly and often enough. It is a problem and the AF has already disciplined individuals because of it.

Personally the statement "Christian Mafia" in itself I find offensive.

Nonetheless, it is an accurate description.

Some people just can't leave their pets at home....
