Haha. I have to laugh. Listen again to this part of their quote:

“The military would effectively establish preferred religions or religious beliefs. This is a Constitutional offense…”

Gee, isn’t that like how the U.S. government would be establishing preferred religious EVANGELICAL beliefs by banning gay marriage (since we all know that’s what it’s about anyway)? In other words, it’s okay to deny gays the right to marry because it’s THEIR religious beliefs that would be implemented. But heaven forbid it that a policy not based on or consistent with THEIR religious beliefs is put into effect. Oh no! That wouldn’t be acceptable. THAT would be religious discrimination. You see, it’s only religious descrimination if the conservative evangelicals don’t get THEIR way, since, as we should all know by now, it’s not discrimination when THEY do it, because they are the one true religion, right? My goodness, the whining! The hypocrisy and arrogance of these people never ceases to amaze me, it truly doesn’t.

Let’s not forget that evangelicals have been infiltrating the ranks all during the Bush junta.

There was a few years back a major brouhaha when the stories came out of the US Air Force Academy of certain chaplains denigrating and demeaning non-Christian and even non-evangelical Christian cadets!

So the American Taliban want nothing more than to rule over every aspect of the American military…

The ADF bases its position on scripture and its religious values. And the majority of “Christians” render the ADF’s position as scriptually and morally true. We can’t expect to confront the ADF without starting at the same place they do – scripture itself. Until we start magnifying the discrepencies of what scripture and history actually say, as recorded in the earliest of manuscripts, we should expect the outrageous actions of ADF to continue without embarassment. Every debate we enter into regarding the morality of “homosexuality” should always BEGIN with one very simple question: “What is the original Greek and Hebrew word for “sodomite” used in the scriptures?” It’s time we take EVERY opportunity to expose the pathetic vulnerabilities and untruths built into the cornerstone of every argument they present and reveal the mere bigotry that lies underneath it all.

Seems to me what they really want is the right to preach hate, that discrimination and violence towards gays is acceptable.

Shouldn’t Chaplains be comforting our soldiers before going into battle rather then telling them how evil gay people are?

And I can guarantee you that christians will never become a second class citizens in this country. Hell will freeze over before that happens.
