An ongoing conversation

My response to this after some wrote supporting these practices of erzatz "missionaries" in the field, is as follows:

The top brass should have some people's guts for garters for this crap!!

But the top brass might be part of the problem!

I wrote about this and talked of it on my show, it's pure double distilled purple poison to do this in the field, as contested as things are now, it's just plain criminally stupid!!

Someone else's follow up: Yeah, I agree, because the word of god is so insidious, hateful, and damaging to those whos lives are heavily subsidized by American taxpayers.

Obvious in it's content.

One more response from me: If some body wants to evangelize people they should not, (one) counsel the direct disobedience to standing orders. (two) do so in a place such as A stan or Iraq where the indegenous people look at us as possible religious conquerers. And our enemies there use this issue to justify their attacks on us.

This is dangerous to our troops!! ALL of our troops, as it makes no difference where they are, they are subject to more aggresive resistance by the indigenous people to our presence.

When you are trying to passify peoples, it is best not to pee in their cereal!!

A response from another; Dear Readers,
Please, don't you care about the souls in Afghanistan for whom the Christ died? Have you seen the abysmal statistics for that G-d forsaken land? Have you read Afgan history?
If you are short of time, just pick up a Henty book.
Hasn't Afghanistan suffered long enough?
You question the place of Christianity in the U.S.A. Our Founding Fathers did not. Here are some quotes:


My response to all who participated; "I ask you again...don't you care?"

Of course I care!! Don't you??

Before you approach someone about questions of faith, you MUST first ascertain if they want to hear it!!

To go into a contested society and start to "spread the word", for want of a better term, you had best determine if it will get you, or others, killed!!

Now, once the conflict has ended and cooler heads prevail, THEN you can talk religion....IF, that is IF, they want to hear it!! AND!! After you have PROVED your intentions and actions as a good Christian should, so they approach you wanting what it is you have, not the other way around.

Otherwise respect their choices and leave it alone!!

This is why Christians have such a reputation as arrogant azzes!! We assume everybody is hell bound if they are not one of us. When our own book tells us, "They who have never heard My Name serve Me, and their names are written in the book of life." SO, if God has a problem with them, HE will fix it NOT you.

Now I am an ordained Christian Minister and a good one, not to be falsly humble, but I would NEVER make someone feel their religion is not as good as mine.

That kind of thinking, you keep to yourself!! Down that road lies madness, injury and death, for millions!! Always has, always will!!

Now as can be readily seen, we have a problem with our own people doing things that endanger our troops, our selves and the WORLD with this behaviour. PLEASE, if you know people who are doing these things, prosylatising the unwilling, or those in contested areas, tell them the danger they are facing and exposing others to.

Yes, we as Christians are supposed to spread the word of the Gospel, but we are NOT to actively seek death for our selves and others while we do it!!
