Get Rid Of The Christians....

Wait, so how many people in this topic think preaching to a captive audience when you're on the clock for the government is okay?

I agree. In fact I think Christians should be banned from the military altogether. Let liberal atheists fight their own wars.

Well, I don't. We do need to maintain a separation of church and state. The chaplains are a very important part of the military, serving humanitarian needs of our military forces. Still, their duties should not include preaching at mandatory functions. That becomes a case of the government promoting a religion.

I went to a government school that was Christian, so we started our mornings in Primary school with saying the Lords Prayer In High School, all school assemblies had a Bible reading and a prayer. A short distance from my High School was another Government high school that was Muslim. I have no problem with that

Yes, at least being on the clock part. But as I have shown in post #3 this is exactly what the Chaplain service was started for.

Did you have a choice in the matter?

Note that "earnestly recommended" does not mean "mandatory".

*looks at the calendar*

Also, we're quite a bit past 1776, I reckon.

Isn't that an establishment of Christianity as the state religion?

What??? Aww man. I guess I should cancel my order of powdered wigs.

If you're a caterer, and you provide catering service at an event, then you have participated in that event.

Makes sense and seems self-evident.

If you're a baker, and you provide goods for an event, then you have participated in that event.

Does not make sense. You're not even at the event, but you're participating in it somehow? And cake and pizzas aren't even essential to a wedding; they're just snacks that other people are consuming while engaging in an event.

Nope, at least not according to the Founding Fathers.

Let me tell you something, when I was in Marine Corps boot camp we had no choice. We had to attend services on Sunday. I think the Jews had something else. After boot camp it was no longer required.

It was completely optional in my Air Force boot camp. Quite a few people stayed behind to clean the barracks.

The only problem with that is that when turned against the American public, these liberal atheists will have no reason not to follow orders to shoot resisters.

Oh please.
