LOL !!! - 'Insidious Force Threatens Military Morale' - FDL
Insidious Force Threatens Military Morale

They’ve secreted themselves amongst our troops, even at the senior officer levels. They look just like everyone else. But they have an agenda, and they want to impose it on their comrades and their subordinates, no matter how uncomfortable it might make them feel, no matter how much it might disrupt morale and unit cohesion.



I am speaking, of course, of the evangelical Christians who proselytize non-Christian cadets at the Air Force Academy, who schedule Christian concerts at army bases with the express goal of recruiting new church members, and even punish troops for refusing to attend Christian concerts. This is absolutely unacceptable, and the Department of Defense should put a stop to it at once and immediately discharge all those responsible.

Don’t get me wrong, I’ve got nothing against Christians per se – some of my best friends are Christians. But I don’t like it when they flaunt their lifestyle choice all over the place, trying to push their evangelical agenda on other people. They don’t have the common decency to keep it to themselves, and that’s just… unseemly. I mean, my hypothetical kids might see it! What do you tell your little girl when she looks up at you and says, “Daddy, what’s a Stryper?”
