10 Ways the U.S. Military Has Shoved Christianity Down Muslims' Throats

Wow, that bullshit about Muslims is so far out there that I'm not going to touch it. And you do realize that "in God we trust" was not officially a motto for our currency until 1956 right?

I am seriously laughing my ass off...gotta love you trolls.

It's just Bushism.
If this had come out before the election, it would be just another in the long, long list.

90% of the law is enforcement, as the saying goes.

Making laws against something is meaningless if no agrees with it.

If any part of you is American, you shouldn't agree with ANY of them.

I got the freedom to preach.

You apparently also have the freedom to be incorrect.

Well, as it turns out, you actually don't have the freedom to preach while you're working for the government, which is what this is all about.

you know theres ministers in the army right?

Your religion is not real. The tenants are not real. Your "God" is a false, silly artifact of a not real religion.

Have anything to back up your claims?

You just have to use your mind, my friend. The mind God gave you.

Read the Egyptian book of the Dead, startling similar to the story of Exodus. The flood is remarkably similar to the Epic of Gilgamesh.

Jesus is a compilation of a bunch of different mystery gods.

And even if none of that were true, how does one disprove something that hasn't been proven?

Go on ibrake, disprove Zoroastrianism or the Nordic religion or the Greek gods.

I use my logic, and christianity makes sense.

Is that how you concede a point?

You don't know what logic is, you can't even define it and I'll bet you don't even know how to use it.

And oh, how surprising that you picked your culture's favorite indoctrination. What an act of faith, I bet it was a big sacrifice to join 70% of the nation. It must have been such a sacrifice to blindly follow what everyone else does and encourages you to do on a daily basis.

What constitutes a Christian nation? Besides your opinion.

no we weren't, and I'm here because I was born here, my parents were born here, my grandparents were born here, and I have just as much a right to be here as anyone else.
Just because I chose not to believe in the Christian myth doesnt mean I shouldn't be an American. I have a Constitutional right to believe what I want too, or would you rather that right be taken away from me too?

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press, or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

missed basic civics did we? the founding fathers were deists, not christians.

You, my lady, are incredibly mistaken. The United States is a secular nation that happened to founded by people who called themselves Christians. Many of the founding fathers were Freemasons, some outright atheists!
I don't know what public school system failed you nor what fabrication of the New Testament you cherry-pick your beliefs from, but your take on what it means to be American is at the very least, misguided.
Feel free to call yourself a fundamentalist before you call yourself an American.

Oh boy you are clueless. Gotta love Fundamentalists.

First off, a nation of mostly Christians does not constitute a "Christian nation." The Vatican is a Christian nation as it is a religious theocracy based on Christianity. It's funny that despite how much Protestants hate the Catholic church, they seek to emulate in every possible way.

Secondly, we were not founded by Christian men. Most of the founding fathers were Deists followed closely by Unitarians, both of which are considered heretical by Christian standards. And even if that WEREN'T true, they believed FIERCELY in the FREEDOM OF RELIGION.

Ya see, there's also this document called the Treaty of Tripoli, signed by George Washington and John Adams to the Barbary Nations. One of it's more interesting stipulations says...

"Art. 11. As the Government of the United States of America is not, in any sense, founded on the Christian religion,—as it has in itself no character of enmity against the laws, religion, or tranquility, of Mussulmen,—and as the said States never entered into any war or act of hostility against any Mahometan nation, it is declared by the parties that no pretext arising from religious opinions shall ever produce an interruption of the harmony existing between the two countries."

And both the pledge of allegiance AND our money were both changed to have the god message in the 1950's as part of the Red Scare.

And Christ is YOUR savior as part of your given liberty to practice whatever religion you choose in this great country, if it were mandated to the rest of us there wouldn't really be a point would there?

no, the founding fathers were *not* christian. they were mostly deists and or atheists.

oh and here's one for you queengloria. for the million dollars, what does the word soul mean? you're all out of lifelines on this one. .

a:spirit

b: essence

c: body

d: ghost

correct answer is...c! the word soul means body in Hebrew. dont think we're saving many of those in our global war on a word.

This nation wasn't even founded on Christian values.

Go read an American History book.

A REAL one from college, not some white-washed, high school textbook.

i think you should learn a little more about islam

>"We're a Christian nation, and spreading the word of Christ is our duty"<

Fascinating. Who told you that?

hate to break it to you queengloria, but several states now recognize gay marriage. guess your theory just got blown out of the closet lol.

Im just so glad most Christians i know are NOT like you. You give them a bad name. We live in a SECULAR nation one that respects all religions, creeds or lack thereof. Thank God im an atheist.

@Queen

Really? So where exactly does God say marriage is between a man and a woman?

"You're caught up in the details which have left you blinded to reality."

LOL!
She get's proven wrong so she says historical facts are just "details" that blind us to reality!

Don't even try arguing with this one, it's pointless.

wow, you should join the military...that's a really ignorant comment you left.

ok so mighty christian warrior, what *verse* of the bible defines marriage? you dont sound christian at all, you sound mormon.

QueenG,

"He says it in nature, because he designed our bodies for heterosexual procreation."

Going by that logic, people who can't have children shouldn't be allowed to get married because they can't procreate.

The majority may be considered Christian, but you have to wonder how many of those people are not really spiritual at all and only label themselves as Christian because thats what their parents are, or simply from a lack of having something better thing to call themselves. I guarantee that the majority of that "majority" don't even attend church or read the bible on even a semi-regular basis. The real question you have to ask yourself, is what real Christian uses Jesus as a reason to massacre people? That "majority" seems more than happy to kill kill kill, so are they really Christian? This "Christianity" that QueenGloria speaks of, which is non-denominational fundamentalism, is the greatest insult to the teachings of Jesus Christ that has ever been manufactured. This American breed of Christian is the most despicable, ignorant, and hate-mongering type that has ever walked the earth. I find it ironic that the people who scream that people need to except Jesus are the people who need it the most themselves, because whatever they are worshipping is definitely not Christ.

@Everyone... how many times have we brought the Light of science, history, and common sense to Christians who still believe that the dinosaur bones were planted to test the faith, that Jesus went back and saved everyone who died before he even lived, that the Earth is only a few thousand years old, and that Christianity is the only true religion. They will argue anything without even knowing their own religion or the roots of Christianity in mysticism. They ''believe'' what they are told by the Church but don't actually know the Bible, even though it's been translated a few times to English and it was channeled to begin with. Arguing or trying to prove anything to them will never work. Nor trying to convince anyone of a belief against their own or shed light that their beliefs are wrong. Christians grow stronger the more we challenge and argue with them. If every non-Christian would turn their back, attention, and focus on the Christians they would lose their power and slowly dissolve. One day, all religion will.

@Queen The bible says a lot of things and I can almost guarantee that QueenGloria does not follow every single thing in the bible in her life. You have many egocentric beliefs and guess what - they are only YOUR beliefs. If other people share your exact beliefs, then they are THEIR beliefs. But what you believe and your clan is not what EVERYONE believes. That is a fact because I don't believe what you are trying to sell. You think America is a Christian Nation but it is not. I'm not going to try to convince you since everyone before me already has and I'm sure you have people in your daily life who does the same but you hold so blindly, er, strongly, to your religion and beliefs (where ever they even come from) that you won't deter.

If you're Christian then so be it. Be Christian. But be Christian with others who wish to share your values and beliefs and leave everyone else alone. It's not your job to convert or spread the word of Christ or Jesus or God or whatever. If THEIR word needs to be spread I'm sure that THEY can do it on their own by divine intervention. Not by some mere bi-petal carbon life form who sins and is going to HELL if they don't put their faith in an unseen God.

Last thought - we are each gods. Look within.

please don't feed the troll

so... i perused the bible, and here's what it told me.

1. Marriage in the United States shall consist of a union between one man and one or more women. (Gen 29:17-28; II Sam 3:2-5)

2. Marriage shall not impede a man's right to take concubines, in addition to his wife or wives. (II Sam 5:13; I Kings 11:3; II Chron 11:21)

3. A marriage shall be considered valid only if the wife is a virgin. If the wife is not a virgin, she shall be executed. (Deut 22:13-21)

4. Marriage of a believer and a non-believer shall be forbidden. (Gen 24:3; Num 25:1-9; Ezra 9:12; Neh 10:30)

5. Since marriage is for life, neither this Constitution nor the constitution of any State, nor any state or federal law, shall be construed to permit divorce. (Deut 22:19; Mark 10:9)

6. If a married man dies without children, his brother shall marry the widow. If he refuses to marry his brother's widow or deliberately does not give her children, he shall pay a fine of one shoe, and be otherwise punished in a manner to be determined by law. (Gen. 38:6-10; Deut 25:5-10)

7. In lieu of marriage, if there are no acceptable men in your town, it is required that you get your dad drunk and have sex with him (even if he had previously offered you up as a sex toy to men young and old), tag-teaming with any sisters you may have. Of course, this rule applies only if you are female. (Gen 19:31-36)

And according to Mohammed: If you can't get laid, don't worry God's got 59 virgins waiting for you after you blow yourself up.

i thought it was 72? i'd rather have 36 good clean sluts tho, virgins are useless in bed.

In that case we had better repeal the U.S. Constituion.

I was born and raised here as my family has been since our arrival in the early 1800's and we are in fact not Christian but we, sure as you are born, are Americans, we have fought in every war this country has waged since the war of 1812. Your statement is as ignorant as it is inflamatory,

I have no idea how this turned into an argument about gay marriage but here's something to help my buddy gloria out

Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural relations for unnatural ones. In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed indecent acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their perversion.

Romans 1:26,27

Homesexuality is wrong period. The bible isnt going to advocate homosexual marriage either.

And those who America isnt a christian nation,i would suggest taking a tour of the state capital,the ten commandments are everywhere along with several bible verses
.

“The religion of one age is the literary entertainment of the next”. — Ralph Waldo Emerson

I still see no sheep or goats in there, Jimmy.

I'll see what I can find

Aaiinnnnn... sorry, you loose all your winnings. Our country is a secular country founded on the principles of Freedom of Religion and the Separation of Church and State. Christ was never arrogant about his knowledge as you seem to be. He also warned US all not to judge one another lest we be judged, and he challenged US all to look to ourselves and our own guilt before casting the first stone. As a former Decon in the Presbyterian Church and 50+ years studying what Jesus actually said I've come to the conclusion that he was teaching principles of Buddhism, and specifically he told US all that we are Divine Spirit whether we are conscious of it or not. He said that "the Kingdom of Heaven is within," not outside ourselves. He detested hypocrites and urged US all to forgive one another of everything. Nothing is beyond forgiveness. I think he would tell you to save your self before you think of saving someone else, or "pull the beam from your own eye before attempting to remove the speck from your neighbor's eye." It seems like you need to learn a little bit more about what you believe before you go preaching to others what they aught to believe.

Wow... did she really say that LOFL... Queen I like you.. you make me laugh

Damn, where'd she go? I just got my anti-religion B-52 airborne again.
