[Report: Pentagon May Prosecute Military Personnel Who Share Faith by Bethany Monk] "The Pentagon has released a statement, according to Fox News, confirming its policy that would punish service members who share their religious beliefs.

That follows a private meeting last week between Mikey Weinstein, president of the Military Religious Freedom Foundation (MRFF) and the Pentagon. Weinstein said military personnel who proselytize are guilty of sedition and “treason.” He said they should be punished to quell a “tidal wave of fundamentalists.”

“If this policy goes forward, Christians within the military who speak their faith could now be prosecuted as enemies of the states,” according to the Family Research Council. “This has potential to destroy military recruiting across the services as Americans realize that their faith will be suppressed by joining the military. Our brave troops deserve better. If chaplains and other personnel are censored from offering the full solace of the Gospel, there is not religious freedom in the military...” Full text: Report: Pentagon May Prosecute Military Personnel Who Share Faith Mk 16:15, Jn 8:36

Response to comment [from an atheist]: "You and Nick both got this wrong."

Do you mean the author?

"[E]veryone please just calm down already."

Do you have an opinion to share? Eccl 10:2, Jn 10:10

"It is already prohibited, this is just getting you used to the idea of throwing Christians in jail for spreading the gospel. It won't be for going to church, it is for telling a Muslim the gospel."

The new policy applies to chaplains, too (Dutko).

Response to comment [from a Christian]: "Whoa!! Advocating or promoting salvation in Jesus!? Wow, how outrageous is that? I mean, whisper quietly in the back room when no one else is looking, pass an anonymous note, I can kind of understand that. But, evidently some people have been trying to win others to Christ! They've been proselytizing! In the US Military!"

Bybee said she challenges you often. Why?

"Challenges my patience. But, you're asking me?"

Is the dispute over doctrine?

Response to comment [from a Christian]: "No! I believe him to be virulently anti-American."

Does he belong on Satan, Inc.?

Response to comment [from a Christian]:  [Do you belong on Satan, Inc.?] When I said self-righteous, I didn't mean go out and show it on your very next post.

......

Would you tell us why you belong on Satan, Inc. (TOL's heretic's list)?

Response to comment [from a Christian]: "...[W]ithin my church that much good is accomplished..."

He doesn't answer questions (like Godrulz).

Give me your tired, your poor, your unbathed masses, your dirty yaks ... Jer 7:6

Response to comment [from : "...I'm different from all of you Muslim haters..."

We don't hate Muslims. If we hated Muslims we would not tell them the truth (Pr 27:5).

Bybee seems to be handling you just fine (Eph 5:11). She may want to also ask you about your anti-Semitism. No Christian should be anti-Semitic.
