The most religious like to force everyone else to their way of belief, when no one pays attention they start changing laws. I think of their entire ideation being straight out of Animal Farm. The pigs are changing the laws to fit themselves while the other animals are preoccupied with other things.

And now a word from our sponsors: FY stalker moron.

Marine back in the 60s.....if I remember right, wasn't required to attend church during boot camp, if you didn't, could always stay and field day grounds, or hut, or work on gear, shine buckels, shoes, boots, ect. Laying in reading, ect....don't recall that being an alternative.

So the military pushes religion again.

Wow. Students of history know this is classic Hitler's Nazi thinking. War as a sporting event, the side that gets their guys more psyched wins! The disconnect between reality and the swamp gets larger every day.

Way back in 2006 or 2007, I was contacted by someone in the navy to write a non-religious invocation, because that was a new rule in the navy at the time. None of the officers could figure out how to write an inspirational opening remark for a big event without invoking God. Well, it was easy for me to give them several samples of how to do just that. Crazy how they couldn't process goodness in humanity and loyalty to a cause without religion.

Seems now the pendulum has swung back in the opposite direction, requiring more religion instead of less and a more inclusive reach.

I perform marriage ceremonies for military personnel sometimes, who are not religious in any way shape or form, so they seek me out for a secular style wedding. So, I know there are atheists in the military.

Many of the national afflictions are caused by demand for this religion so this is not unexpected by those who understand mission creep. Hopefully the recruits get over it as they age. That's what Sages are for.

Of course! "God is always on the side of the big battalions."

WTF!

I've always liked Nietzsche's term for things like this . . . . theoassininities.

No way this is constitutional. But you never know with todays' Stupreme nut job court, they may claim othrewise.

War is just to get other people to fight on your behalf to give you what you want. Religion is used to brainwash the fighters into doing what you want.

Since more people have been killed in the name of God, than any other reason. The religious test can help the military administration set them up, on the front lines. Killing in wars, is not spiritual at all, it solves nothing.

What the fuck are you talking about when you use the word "spiritual"?

What utter bullshit!
Not to mention, it's UN-Constitutional AF!
