   So Evangelical Christian Soldiers are feeling oppressed?

   When have the Militant Christians ever not cried this. They are a tiresome lot. If they kept their religion to themselves they would be left alone. But too many of them want to extol the virtues of their belief on others. And when that doesn’t convert people they start getting in their face. Think Westboro or those old ladies that hold up their signs depicting dead fetuses screaming at young women going into planned parenthood.

   You believe in Christ and the salvation promised by his sacrifice – Good for you!!!! That doesn’t give you the right to be an obtrusive prick for everyone else that doesn’t hold to your beliefs.

   Soldiers – Do your jobs with honest and a good work ethic and you may worship quietly almost anywhere without fear of reprisal. But don’t feel your military service grants you any more privilege to encroach on others freedoms then the Westboro croud. They are no bettern then thugs.

   Religion and oppression go together like pork and beans. You might like the taste of your brand but that doesn’t mean I have to put up with the after-effects. Hold it in till you walk away from me. Preferably – down wind.

   Wait, are you talking about gays, michelle’s food fascists, global warming hoaxers or liberals in general?

   There’s a reason why there is a seperation of church and state. Keep your religion in your life, keep it out of mine.

   “If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before it hated you.”
   
   It is the pseudo-Christian pseudo-conservatives that hate me, not the other way around. I don’t care what other consenting adults do in the privacy of their own home. It’s none of my business. However the pseudo-Christian pseudo-conservatives try to enforce their beliefs on the rest of us.
   
   As for the cartoon, pseudo-Christian pseudo-conservatives are free to believe what ever they want while in the army. What they’re not free to do is force their beliefs on and/or bully others.

   See Matthew 10:14 -If any household or town refuses to welcome you or listen to your message, shake its dust from your feet as you leave.
   Echoed in Luke 9:5 and Mark 6:11
   If they insist in going to hell, let them. It IS their choice.
   “He who has ears to hear, let him hear.”

   The world hates good Christians but the world hates blithering idiots, too.

   
   Just because the world hates you does not NECESSARILY make you a good Christian.

    I will NEVER forget, as a child, being forced to pray, in a Florida school !
    The problem is the extremists…and we have far too many of them…

    Apparently Evangelical Christians are more important to assay than women getting raped by their superiors in the military. Nice.

    I know what you mean, Adrian. My scariest moment was when the teacher smacked a classmate with the ruler she alays carried for not saying the Lord’s Prayer. The girl explained they di not say that prayer in her church. When the girl still refused, the teacher grabbed her by by her braids and began banging her head into the blackboard until the blackboard broke. I feared for the girl’s life.
