Over on our discussion of the Military Religious Freedom Foundation and the Army’s “Fighting Knights” sign<\/a> in Hawaii, Mikey Weinstein’s band of trolls have taken exception with my characterization of Weinstein as a “punk troublemaker” in the Facebook comments. I have other more appropriate terms at my disposal if you’d like to test my vocabulary. <\/p>\n

They also complain that I said that Mikey “likes all religions except Christianity”. According to an email that he sent a Marine commander, also in Hawaii, that’s true. It seems that the Marine Corps base had a sign that said “God Bless the Military”. Mickey’s MFers emailed a few suggestions for other signs the Corps can put up in the area, according to Military.com<\/a>, something more acceptable, in their view;<\/p>\n

On Sept. 30, the group sent a second letter to Killeen offering a third alternative — that the base allow signs representing other gods to be erected next to the original one. Some suggestions offered were: “Yahweh Bless …,” “Allah Bless …,” “Goddess Bless …,” and “There is no god to bless … We have each other.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Yeah, those suggestions for additional signs all approve any religion except Christianity (you know, although “God” is generally recognized as the Supreme Being in a couple of religions; Judaism, Christianity and Islam all have their roots in the same God’s word, the Old Testament). The implication that “Allah” would be an acceptable alternative kind of illustrates my point that Weinstein and his MFers don’t particularly like Christianity (and probably Judaism, too).<\/p>\n

The MFer trolls claim that some of them are Christians yet they support Weinstein’s efforts. Like that is supposed to change my mind. I guess they are whiny little punk troublemakers, too. <\/p>\n

Before I get called names that don’t apply to me, I’ll let the newcomers know that I haven’t set foot in a church in about twenty years, I don’t adhere to any particular religion, but me and the Supreme Being have an agreement. I’ll behave myself but that he shouldn’t expect regular scheduled conversations with me. I support every religion and their tenets, I respect everyone’s right to believe what they want and I’ll promise that I won’t interfere – unless it’s to protect the innocent. I will however point out hypocrisy when I see it, and Mikey Weinstein and his little band of trolls reek of hypocrisy. And they don’t like being in some judgmental spotlight – I think that’s their whole complaint about Christianity anyway.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
