Christian Chaplain Threatend Over Pro-Christian Facebook Post

If this story were true as reported then I don't think the military should silence the women on her Biblical views regarding homosexuality. She does not give up her basic liberties just because she puts on a uniform. However, I highly doubt that this incident is exactly as it is being reported. Anytime there is an unnamed source and only one side of the story there is almost always more to it than meets the eye.

Anytime there is an unnamed source and only one side of the story there is almost always more to it than meets the eye.

I have found this story covered in several locations and none mention the assistant's name. However, some of the coverage is from personal interviews with different news outlets.

Here are some 'facts' I think need to be cleared up.

1. This assistant was not commenting on the chaplain that she is assigned to.
2. Her comments came from a documentary that she had just watched where a minister condoned homosexuality.
3. The views of the minister in this documentary were against her own personal beliefs and that is what she was commenting about on her Facebook page to her friends/family.
She was not commenting about other members in the armed forces.

This is an example of Political Correctness on steroids when a superior can threaten you for giving an opinion over a difference in religious ideology in a friggen documentary. The only word at the moment I can think to describe such nonsense is absurd.

If it were as reported then I would agree, but I highly doubt it is as has been reported. I find it odd that this incident has already been so sensationalized among right wing media outlets without any perceivable attempt whatsoever to get collaboration from any other source. It seems to have been deliberately limited to just the one side.
 
Odd how "pro-Christian" now means "anti-gay".
It doesn't. It usually just means anti- gay sexual acts, people just twist it around in their heads and end up calling everyone who doesn't like everything they do a bigot.
 
Here we have another martyr wannabe wrapping herself in victimhood in defence of her bigotry.
1. Not liking some aspect of someone else's life does not a bigot make.

2. Christians can face discrimination too, it doesn't make them a martyr in fact I've never seen them claim themselves to be a martyr it's usually people who don't think that they have a right to be upset at anything who call them a martyr regardless of whether or not the christian's claim warrants any merit.
 
A sin is a sin is a sin. The Bible doesn't have a top ten sin list other than the 10 C. There is no priority of sin. Sin is sin. Fat assedness is no less or more of a sin than homosexuality. Yep. That's right. Where is all the religious indignation over Twinkie eating fat asses? Well, it's not there. Gluttony is no less a sin than homosexuality according to the good book.

Bigot alert!

Discriminating against fat ass people :moody
 
Only a moral relativist would compare Christianity with anarchy and communism.

Under the law ... THat isn't moral relativism, that's the law.
 
Bigotry is bigotry, and excusing it with pre-Christain BS is all too common. Jesus was so concerned about the "problem" he never ever addressed it. He was really concerned about trespassing though, he gave it two mentions in the Lord's prayer. Was trespass a huge problem back then, do you think? Worse than homosexuality?

Considering Sodom and Gomorrah, I would say homosexuality is pretty serious.

So is looking back but not getting your father drunk and having sex with him? Please pass the salt.

Consider this:

But before they lay down, the men of the city, even the men of Sodom, compassed the house round, both old and young, all the people from every quarter: And they called unto Lot, and said unto him, Where are the men which came in to thee this night? bring them out unto us, that we may know them. And Lot went out at the door unto them, and shut the door after him, And said, I pray you, brethren, do not so wickedly. Behold now, I have two daughters which have not known man; let me, I pray you, bring them out unto you, and do ye to them as is good in your eyes: only unto these men do nothing; for therefore came they under the shadow of my roof. Gen. 19:4-8
 
I could imagine homosexual soldiers finding the views as she expressed them offensive. I'm guessing you don't care about that, though.

Don't care at all. If fact, I hope it bothers them so much that they turn from their sin and trust Christ.
 
That's why gays should be allowed to marry, rather than live in sin.

Bright blessings!

Being gay is a sin in and of itself. God didn't ordain it, didn't created it and He will punish it for all of eternity, in hell.
 
Consider this:
Let us continue:

"9 “Get out of our way,” they replied. “This fellow came here as a foreigner, and now he wants to play the judge! We’ll treat you worse than them.” They kept bringing pressure on Lot and moved forward to break down the door.

10 But the men inside reached out and pulled Lot back into the house and shut the door. 11 Then they struck the men who were at the door of the house, young and old, with blindness so that they could not find the door.

12 The two men said to Lot, “Do you have anyone else here—sons-in-law, sons or daughters, or anyone else in the city who belongs to you? Get them out of here, 13 because we are going to destroy this place. The outcry to the Lord against its people is so great that he has sent us to destroy it.”

14 So Lot went out and spoke to his sons-in-law, who were pledged to marry[a] his daughters. He said, “Hurry and get out of this place, because the Lord is about to destroy the city!” But his sons-in-law thought he was joking.

15 With the coming of dawn, the angels urged Lot, saying, “Hurry! Take your wife and your two daughters who are here, or you will be swept away when the city is punished.”

16 When he hesitated, the men grasped his hand and the hands of his wife and of his two daughters and led them safely out of the city, for the Lord was merciful to them. 17 As soon as they had brought them out, one of them said, “Flee for your lives! Don’t look back, and don’t stop anywhere in the plain! Flee to the mountains or you will be swept away!”

18 But Lot said to them, “No, my lords, please! 19 Your[c] servant has found favor in your[d] eyes, and you[e] have shown great kindness to me in sparing my life. But I can’t flee to the mountains; this disaster will overtake me, and I’ll die. 20 Look, here is a town near enough to run to, and it is small. Let me flee to it—it is very small, isn’t it? Then my life will be spared.”

21 He said to him, “Very well, I will grant this request too; I will not overthrow the town you speak of. 22 But flee there quickly, because I cannot do anything until you reach it.” (That is why the town was called Zoar.[f])

23 By the time Lot reached Zoar, the sun had risen over the land. 24 Then the Lord rained down burning sulfur on Sodom and Gomorrah—from the Lord out of the heavens. 25 Thus he overthrew those cities and the entire plain, destroying all those living in the cities—and also the vegetation in the land. 26 But Lot’s wife looked back, and she became a pillar of salt.

27 Early the next morning Abraham got up and returned to the place where he had stood before the Lord. 28 He looked down toward Sodom and Gomorrah, toward all the land of the plain, and he saw dense smoke rising from the land, like smoke from a furnace.

29 So when God destroyed the cities of the plain, he remembered Abraham, and he brought Lot out of the catastrophe that overthrew the cities where Lot had lived.

Lot and His Daughters

30 Lot and his two daughters left Zoar and settled in the mountains, for he was afraid to stay in Zoar. He and his two daughters lived in a cave. 31 One day the older daughter said to the younger, “Our father is old, and there is no man around here to give us children—as is the custom all over the earth. 32 Let’s get our father to drink wine and then sleep with him and preserve our family line through our father.”

33 That night they got their father to drink wine, and the older daughter went in and slept with him. He was not aware of it when she lay down or when she got up.

34 The next day the older daughter said to the younger, “Last night I slept with my father. Let’s get him to drink wine again tonight, and you go in and sleep with him so we can preserve our family line through our father.” 35 So they got their father to drink wine that night also, and the younger daughter went in and slept with him. Again he was not aware of it when she lay down or when she got up.

36 So both of Lot’s daughters became pregnant by their father. 37 The older daughter had a son, and she named him Moab[g]; he is the father of the Moabites of today. 38 The younger daughter also had a son, and she named him Ben-Ammi[h]; he is the father of the Ammonites of today."

Gays are made in the image of God, as are all His children. I'm surprised you missed that part?

Homosexuals will find themselves in the pit of hell for eternity if they don't repent and trust Jesus.

Jesus was likely gay. He was a Jew who never married, that's very odd. And are not gays made in the image of God? Aren't you? Does God have a penis, or a vagina, or both by the way?

Disgusting blasphemy! You will regret this day for all eternity if you don't turn to God in repentance, unless of course if you are not already a reprobate.

What, no answers? Maybe you should pray on it?
 
I'll let God answer you in eternity.
Your god is unworthy of worship, and he is well aware of my opinion.

I do however like salt, and I'll give some thought to the incest, since your god approves.
