I think it's time to rip cult Christianity out of the military, root and branch.

 

Sell that to the Air Force, pal...





Wait...

 

No kidding. Ask non-Evangie/Fundy athletes playing football or basketball at the Academy about their experience.

 

yeah, when better to sell jebus than at the hospital? fuckers.

 

Captive audience

 

many questioning their own mortality.

 

I have. A Catholic basketball player from my area committed to AFA, got wind of what it was like, and bailed.

 

Not saying it doesn't happen, because it does, but I'd be very cautious about Fenian's suggestion that we rip Christianity out of the military. Do that and you might as well pull out all forms of religious representation for every faith.

And as someone who wore the uniform for nearly a decade, there were times when it was comforting to know there was at least that measure of "support."

Still, the VA (the hospital in question isn't connected to the military...it's the Veterans Administration, for those who don't know) needs to do a better job of preventing issues like this.

 

I'm with you on this, Ragu. This is down right fucked up.

 

Memo from the rural heartland to you city folk: You're damn right our country is this scary. I live with these wackjobs.

 

I believe he said "cult" Christianity.

It's one thing to be a Christian. It's quite another to try to enforce your beliefs on everyone else.
