Comments on: US Military Coordinated Day of Prayer Events With Christian Right Group http://dissidentvoice.org/2008/05/us-military-coordinated-day-of-prayer-events-with-christian-right-group/ a radical newsletter in the struggle for peace and social justice Sun, 22 Nov 2009 11:34:13 -0800 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 hourly 1 By: evie http://dissidentvoice.org/2008/05/us-military-coordinated-day-of-prayer-events-with-christian-right-group/#comment-19825 evie Sun, 04 May 2008 11:49:16 +0000 http://www.dissidentvoice.org/?p=1941#comment-19825 There are Christians in the military. And the occasional fruitcake who thinks his god is bigger than your god. But that does not make a "taliban theocracy." And yes, John, I've been around the block a few times with the military, hooyah. There has always been a cross-over between military and religious groups, especially during war. It is just in the last 30 years the "left" has needed an issue and this is a safe one. Just as you said, oh omnipotent one, - "the left, only want to rock the boat when they think it’s “safe”. Get real. Do you think average Americans will ever give up their gluttony of porn, drugs, promiscuity, and sordid and sundry other vices - to become Bible banging crusaders led by Rev. President? The preachers are coming, the preachers are coming? Sooooo John, I guess I get my "omniscience" and fortune telling from the same place you get yours - can you give me the exact time and date as to when the fothermuckers are going to come for us, as you assert?

I know, I know, it's the separation of church and state b.s. Mikey Weinstein and his 501(c) buddies need to find a real cause to litigate. Trust me, the US military rank and file will never be overrun with rightwing Christian fundamentalists. I was more outraged with all the pomp and asskissing and tax dollars wasted on the Pope recently. As a non-Christian, happy heathen denomination, I’m not feeling the fear here.
