The Military Religious Freedom Foundation is on a jihad against Christians once again – this time, an Air Force officer has violated the Constitution by having a Bible on his desk. According to Fox News<\/a>;<\/p>\n

\u201cIt [the Bible] is very obviously a statement of Christian preference, Christian primacy,\u201d MRFF founder Mikey Weinstein told me. \u201cHad that been the Book of Satan or the Koran there would be blood in the freaking streets.\u201d<\/p>\n

He accused Maj. Steve Lewis, a supervisor at the Reserve National Security Space Institute, of \u201charboring and encouraging a truly abhorrent example of First Amendment civil rights violations.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

As always, when these MRFF stories come around, I went to their website<\/a> to get the straight poop. I got nuthin’. After navigating through the popups begging for money for MRFF, I got to this;<\/p>\n

\"Military<\/a><\/center><\/p>\n

There’s supposed to be a Wall? I need to buy a brick for this Wall?<\/p>\n

[Colonel Damon Feltman, the commander of the 310th Space Wing] stressed that Air Force personnel are free to exercise their constitutional rights to practice their own religion \u201cas long as it is respectful of other individual\u2019s rights to follow their own belief system in ways that support good order and discipline and don\u2019t detract from (the) military mission.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAs long as he\u2019s not doing something excessive, the existence of a Bible or the Koran or the Torah or some other religious article is not prohibited,\u201d Col. Feltman said. \u201cIt\u2019s what you do with it when you have it.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

From Patheos<\/a>;<\/p>\n

It all began with an email from someone who deals with Lewis on a regular basis:<\/p>\n

\u201cIt certainly gives the appearance of favoritism toward one religion,\u201d says a Peterson military member who insisted on anonymity for fear of retribution. \u201cI\u2019m a Christian myself, and it\u2019s concerning. I don\u2019t think people should be promoted or given opportunities based on whatever [religion] they are. It should be about your performance.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

That\u2019s right: A Christian blew the whistle on his also-Christian commanding officer.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Yeah, and Iraq Veterans Against the War were all Iraq Veterans, too.<\/p>\n

Weinstin used to write about these cases, but now he just links to news sites like Fox and puts up donation links to feed his totally useless endeavor to make all members of the Armed Services religious eunuchs.<\/p>\n

The Constitution forbids Congress from writing laws that establish a national religion, it doesn’t prevent anyone from practicing their own religion which is what Mikey wants.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
