Pentagon Continues Down Path Of Religious Persecution

Breitbart notes that the Pentagon is planning on employing Mikey Weinstein as a consultant to develop new policies on "religious tolerance, including a policy for court-martialing military chaplains who share the Christian Gospel during spiritual counseling of American troops."Yes, you read that right. Religious "tolerance" will include punishing military personnel that engage in proselytizing. The article goes on to quote Weinstein comparing the sharing of the gospel to rape and terrorism, and conservative Christian beliefs as sedition and treason. From the article:

Weinstein decries what he calls the “virulent religious oppression” perpetrated by conservative Christians, whom he refers to as “monstrosities” and “pitiable unconstitutional carpetbaggers,” comparing them to “bigots” in the Deep South during the civil rights era.

He cites Dr. James Dobson—the famous Christian founder of Focus on the Family—as “illustrating the extremist, militant nature of these virulently homophobic organizations’ rhetorically-charged propaganda.” Regarding those who teach orthodox Christian beliefs from the Bible, Weinstein concludes, “Let’s call these ignoble actions what they are: the senseless and cowardly squallings of human monsters.”

Weinstein then endorses the ultra-left Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC), who publishes a list of “hate groups.” Alongside truly deplorable organizations like the KKK, the SPLC’s list includes a host of traditional Christian organizations (for their support of traditional marriage) and Tea Party organizations (for supporting limited government). Weinstein says SPLC correctly labels them all as “hate groups.”

 If this is indicative of the future of our military and national policy, every Christian should be very afraid.
