In case you haven’t noticed that the war on Christianity is rapidly escalating these days, check out this story at Breitbart: Pentagon Taps Anti-Christian Extremist for Religious Tolerance Policy.
Apparently our military leaders now agree with Mikey Weinstein, founder of the Military Religious Freedom Foundation (MRFF), who seems to believe Christianity is the root cause of all evil in the world ~
Weinstein will be a consultant to the Pentagon to develop new policies on religious tolerance, including a policy for court-martialing military chaplains who share the Christian Gospel during spiritual counseling of American troops.
(He) decries what he calls the “virulent religious oppression” perpetrated by conservative Christians, whom he refers to as “monstrosities” and “pitiable unconstitutional carpetbaggers,” comparing them to “bigots” in the Deep South during the civil rights era…
Weinstein then endorses the ultra-left Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC), who publishes a list of “hate groups.” Alongside truly deplorable organizations like the KKK, the SPLC’s list includes a host of traditional Christian organizations (for their support of traditional marriage) and Tea Party organizations (for supporting limited government). Weinstein says SPLC correctly labels them all as “hate groups.”
These outrageous claims and accusations are tactics right out of the Leftist’s instruction manual; totally distort the truth to demonize your opponents and advance your agenda.
Sally Quinn at the Washington Post, though not quite so zealous, knows how to play the game too, declaring;
“What must stop is the concept that America needs to conquer the world for Christ.” 😯
You see?
“Must stop?” When did it start?
How, who and where exactly did that “concept” come from?
(Jesus has already conquered death. Christians are motivated to spread that good news and help save souls – not attempt to “conquer the world.”)
Here’s Quinn’s example, which I guess is supposed to demonstrate Christians’ nefarious goal of world domination;
The Officers Christian Fellowship, in a posting on the Naval Academy’s Web site, promoted the idea of Christian officers exercising biblical leadership to raise up godly military ambassadors for Christ in uniform empowered by the Holy Spirit. “They are trying to create a spiritually transformed U.S. military.”
Sally obviously overlooked a story published in her very own newspaper earlier this month: Obama awards Father Emil Kapaun Medal of Honor. Fr. Kapaun was a POW during the Korean War ~
“In the chaos — dodging bullets and explosions — Father Kapaun raced between foxholes and into no-man’s lands, dragging the wounded to safety. When the enemy broke through and the combat was hand-to-hand, he carried on comforting the injured and the dying,” Obama said. Kapaun was “an American soldier who didn’t fire a gun, but who [carried] the mightiest weapon of all: the love for his brothers so powerful that he was willing to die so that they might live.”
Oddly enough, the very same government that seems intent on erasing all traces of Christianity from the military still manages to find some value in the primary tenets and outward manifestations of that faith; steadfast courage, inspiration, selfless love in the face of evil.
Even the President (or at least his speechwriters) occasionally “gets it” ~
Obama said Kapaun’s humility and attitude of service, reminded him of his grandparents, who also grew up in rural Kansas. “They embodied those heartland values of honesty and hard work, decency and humility.”
Too bad the grandson (and his administration) doesn’t embody those same values.
~ Father Emil Kapaun ~
Speaking of Korea, I think Weinstein and his morally bankrupt worldview would fit in nicely in the Hermit Kingdom; no “Christian Monsters” allowed there at all.
