The Military Religious Freedom Foundation wants a two-star general court-martialed because he spoke about his relationship with God.
Major General Craig Olson was a speaker last week at a National Day of Prayer gathering. He described himself in that speech as a "redeemed believer in Christ."
Mikey Weinstein called the general's remarks a "brutal disgrace." Mr. Weinstein is the president of the MRFF. He fired off a nasty letter to the Secretary of Defense calling for the Air Force general to be severely punished. He alleged that airmen were "utterly disgusted and shocked by the brazenly illicit and wholly unconstitutional, fundamentalist Christian proselytizing recently perpetrated on international television."
Mr. Weinstein demanded the general be court-martialed and "aggressively and visibly brought to justice for his unforgivable crimes and transgressions."
If the Military Religious Freedom Foundation thought General Olson was a brutal disgrace, I can only imagine what they must have thought of George Washington, who once prayed at Valley Forge.
It would be easy to dismiss this guy as a two-bit gadfly. Unfortunately, we cannot. Time and time again, Mr. Weinstein has proven that when he complains about something - the Pentagon responds.
Far too many Christians have been bullied by the Military Religious Freedom Foundation's thuggery. It's time for the Pentagon to put a stop to this nonsense.
If Mr. Weinstein and his stooges have a problem with the general's televised remarks, maybe they should just change the channel.
I’d like to see someone tear this Weinstein punk a new one.What an angry, hateful bass turd.
As our Savior told us, they hated him first. This guy has a black heart and unknowingly serves Satan. The persecution, even as ridiculous as this, is to be expected, but not accepted.
We are facing similar ridiculous persecution in our lives right now. It is ridiculous enough that several people have said that it’s a testament to my husband’s faithfulness as that’s who satan attacks. I can’t say anything until the dust settles, but when it does I hope the story spreads. He may be lose his job, but we are trusting God will provide for our family no matter what.
It was a prayer / Christian gathering, not like he was standing before his mixed soldiers saying “Come to Christ!”
His actions were completely appropriate per the event.
I just love this quote from Gov. Greg Abbott. I would love to see it included in every speech from every candidate from now on.
“More recently, Abbott has had kind words for Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal, whose stump speeches often feature him saying, “America did not create religious liberty. Religious liberty created America.” Two weeks after approvingly tweeting the quote, Abbott worked it into his speech to the National Catholic Prayer Breakfast in Washington, D.C.”

You forgot mosques and other places of religion. Won't be long and ALL PRAYER will be banned. What the hell is wrong with this nation to allow some jerk suing someone for praying? Time for a revolt!
