Intolerance Found at Air Force Academy
Military Report Criticizes Religious Climate but Does Not Cite Overt Bias

By Josh White
Washington Post Staff Writer
Thursday, June 23, 2005; Page A02

A military study of the religious climate at the Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs found several examples of religious intolerance, insensitivity and inappropriate proselytizing on the part of Air Force officers and cadets, but a report issued yesterday at the Pentagon concluded that the school is not overtly discriminatory and has made improvements in recent months. http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2005/06/22/AR2005062200598.html

Christians are forever trying to subvert the principle of separation of church and state.

Only FAKE Christians that PRETEND to be Christian, get into office under the GUISE of being Christian, and then BREAK THE 1ST AMENDMENT and pass laws that give money to the FAKE CHRISTIAN GROUPS, so other FAKE CHRISTIANS can get rich off of CHRISTIANITY.

REAL CHRISTIANS, like Dr. Ron Paul, have absolutely NO INTENTION of passing or signing ANY laws that DIRECLY VIOLATE the 1ST AMENDMENT or prescribe, endorse, or recommend, laws respecting the establishment of ANY religion. 

But let me guess, you think Bush, Cheney, and the lot, are a bunch of intolerant Christians don't you?  You use their actions to justify your own personal FLAWED beliefs about what Christianity is, and what it does and does NOT represent.  Which is why you are so vehimently against religion in government, which is NOT wrong, or illegal, and why you continually twist, "seperation of church and state," into a restriction on religions and ignore the FACT that it is a restriction on GOVERNMENT (the state).

The law does NOT say, "There shall be a seperation of church and state."  The LAW does say;

Quote from: 1ST AMENDEMENT
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, [/color] 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.

It's pretty clear, isn't it?

If those people aren't real Xians, then they are not a religious group, just an interest group thtat can recieve money from the Gov't.  :-0

Seriously, though, I always have a chuckle when Xians start declaring who is a good or real Xian and who isn;t. 

They always seem to be talking about each other.

And if they do, then they have to PAY TAXES or be NON-PROFIT Organizations.  Intrest groups differ from churches in that very specific way that they do NOT enjoy the tax exempt status that churches enjoy, right?   

I never said who was a real Christian and who wasn't (Well, maybe I did name 1), just that FAKE ones USE the government for financial gain, and oppression of the countries people through intolerance policies that DIRECTLY VIOLATE the Constitution.  REAL Christians in government understand their limitations placed on them by BOTH the CONSTITUTION AND THEIR BIBLE.

btw, I'm NOT a Christian, and NEVER claimed to be.  The 1 person I did call a FAKE, is our -ssh-l- President who claims he talks to GOD and GOD tells him to invade countries and spread democracy.  Making him an OBVIOUS FAKE!!!

Just like preachers who blow male prostitutes while high on crack!!!!!  FAKE CHRISTIANS and you don't need to be a Christian to see that.

Thief, did anything like that happen? Someone try and start a non-christian orginization?

Not that I am aware of, I knew a few guys who were atheists but no one tried having meetings or anything. I am not sure if there would be any blow back so to speak, but to be honest not many guys went to church anyways, most had hangovers on Sunday morning.

Either you repeat the same conventional doctrines everybody is saying, or else you say something true, and it will sound like its from Neptune.
