Would You Like Some Wingnut With Your Kidneys?

True. But it's also the government.

Good thing the Attorney General has just the office to get to the bottom of this.

 

I'm not saying ban chaplains.
But this is fringe religious whackadoodle, and it's proselytizing, which SHOULD be banned in the military, IMHO. This is of a piece with the anti-Semitism scandal at the AFA, and that idiot Boykin and his personal god, and a number of other disturbing examples in the past 10 years.

 

Granted, it is the government, but as someone who was in the military and is now a disabled veteran, the two are entirely different entities. Hell, the VA has battled with the DoD on my behalf on more than one occasion.

 

Also, Ace. Who is going to develop the criteria for a Christian "CULT"? There are many in mainstream Christianity who claim that LDS (Mormon) is a cult. Granted, some of the polygamist fruitcakes who marry off 10-year olds are cultists. But they are blasphemous to the legitimate Mormons. You can bet that there are those that would call Jerry Fallwell's (my he rest in peace) mega-church followers a cult. It could be said that Jim and Tammy Faye, Robert Tilton (who could be), Mother Theresa and Jimmy Swaggert are/were cultists. This is an area better left to those who wish to adhere to a belief and keep government out of it.

 

I was just pointing out that I don't think Fenian was targeting all of Christianity -- just the zealots.

And I am fine with the military being tolerant of all religions just keep it to yourself.

Don't preach, don't tell, as it were.

 

Fair enough, Ace. But IF this were to happen, I still have to wonder what the criteria would be and who would design it? Kinda scary to think who might be chosen to do it.
