The Creepy Evangelical Christian Influence In The American Military

June 10, 2008

We have seen that the separation of church and state in America is disappearing along with other liberties, freedoms and any notion of justice or sense of duty to Americans. This video sheds a light on something that is troubling to me as an American veteran, which is the influence of evangelical Christians in the US military.

Even back in the 1990’s it was apparent—however, it was growing into a considerable problem. As if there wasn’t enough abuse of rank and privilege in the military, preferential treatment and others being skimmed over for advancement because they do not share a particular faith is a bad thing. It is even worse when top officers and those responsible for military-wide policy have their own personal crusading agendas.

That is yet another reason why I am against organized religion.

We have all sorts of lobbyists and special interest groups attempting to determine what equipment and weaponry our warriors ought to be fighting with or using, and now we have evangelical Christians seeking to pervert the loyalties of American fighting men and women.

The sort of things these idiots stand for are exactly the sort of things I promised to fight against—enemies foreign and domestic—when I enlisted. Any institution which seeks to pervert the loyalties of soldiers, insert its own agenda and policies into our military, and to encourage strife and warfare in the name of religion is an enemy of America in my book…be it Islam or evangelical Christianity.

Recently, soldiers have been finding themselves hounded by their chain of command for being Atheists. Pagan soldiers have had a hard time getting recognition of their faiths—which the followers of the Jewish sky-god in all their myriad variants have long enjoyed. Also recently in the news are reports about PMC (Private Military Corporation/Company) Blackwater having these self-same ties to evangelical Christianity and having unusually high percentages of such Christians evangelicals in their ranks—from the operatives in the field right through the senior level executives.

How bad has it become? Well, last fall, Secretary of State Rice was accused of hampering a Congressional panel investigating issues in Iraq. Why? Because they were investigating Blackwater.

It’s bad enough we have to defend America from Islamists and their terrorism, but now we have our own internal threat in the form of right-wing neo-cons with evangelical fervor in control of the world’s largest PMC and a growing number of military servicemembers who subscribe to that same zealotry.

Really…as if America doesn’t have enough problems, now the same idiots that don’t think I should be able to buy beer on Sunday have their own private military and are trying to subvert our national military. Is there ever going to be a day when America isn’t being sold out by Americans in order to make a buck or religious zealots wanting to reclaim a piece of dirt in the Middle East for the Jewish people?

Does anyone wonder why I dislike all those running around committing insanity in the name of some Jewish sky-god or some Arab moon-demon?

You know, the list of people and organizations I don’t like is far longer than the list of those causes and people that I do like. More and more I keep hoping that there will be some sort of Apocalypse, just so those of us who can’t stand all the zealots that operate in the name of money, the UN, religions, drugs, terror, globalism—and all the other lunacies—will have a chance to get rid of them.

They’re just fucking up our world.

You think I’m kidding? The fanatics of the Jewish sky-god are right here in America, armed to the teeth and preparing for the Apocalypse themselves, just waiting to establish yet another religious state–much like Al Qaeda wanted to create an Islamic caliphate in Iraq. Only they will call it the Christian Colonial Republic.

It’s nice to know if there is an Apocalypse, that freedom loving people will have no end of enemies and opponents to fight if they want to avoid having to live under religious oppression. These sorts will be my enemy just as much as any supposed anti-Christ! In fact, I would view both in pretty much the same light—a threat to liberty.

I didn’t recall Patrick Henry saying, “Give me religion or give me death,” but rather, “Give me liberty or give me death!”

My self-compiled SHF-T (Shit Hits Fan-Threats…”shifty” for short. Kinda like METT-T. Catchy, huh?) list is growing almost daily…

One of the many problems with America and Europe—all of western civilization in fact—is that western civilization has let itself be defined by religion that came out of the Middle East. Two centuries later, people are still running around fighting wars over the words of men long dead, a divine unmarried carpenter born of a virgin and a holy pedophile bandit with a taste for blood and taxes at that.

It’s no wonder the world is so screwed up. Makes me laugh every time I see those idiots in the KKK, the various Aryan sorts that claim to be standing up for racial pride of whites…yet who have tied their identity to the religions of those whose races they hate and look down on. Isn’t that just hilarious?

The whole Christian identity movement doesn’t realize how ridiculous their premise sounds to anyone who realizes that the faith they cling to is not the faiths of their ancestors or their race. And they are all running around toting their guns and hoping for an Apocalypse too, just so they can perpetuate more fallacy, idiocy…and violence on the world…and, err…say it is in the name of peace-loving baby Jesus, right?

Remarkable, the human propensity for madness, isn’t it?

    You know what I find weird? The fact that crazy cultist websites always look like they were made in MS Paint by a self-flagellating epileptic. Is there a bigger visual banner you can wave to announce your lunacy than one with bright red moving text over a tiled picture background? For people adept at fleecing the general populace of their hard-earned dosh and driving a hard bargain towards insanity, they sure do suck when it comes to graphic design.

    Or maybe they’re all on a different visual plane to the rest of us.

    I almost snarfed my water laughing. Self-flagellating epileptics designing graphics just sounds so wrong.

    You could be right about the alternate plane theory. You really could.

    Thanks for dropping by to share your oh-so-funny thoughts!

    I’ve often wondered if a Raelian laser cannon would make a better plunger… Jesus phone home? Oh wait, that was E.T…
