This doesnt surprise me at all, when I was in boot camp at Ft Leonard Wood MO, they offered us to go to a day away as they called it . Basically it was a bbq setup by some Christian church , under the guise that it was a day off for basic Training soldiers. The only catch was you had to attend a church service at the end. ASnywyas the church service wasn’t a service but an all out recruitment for this church.They wanted us all to convert and sing paper work that we give ourselves to Jesus so on and so forth. A complete scam .

Ah, yes. Religiosity as Time-Share salesmanship.
Really classy.
But, then, remember, if you’re soul isn’t saved, you’re worse than dead. They use that as an excuse to justify any amount of horribly insulting/degrading/prejudicial, etc, behavior on their part.
(Not all Christians, mind you, just self-proclaimed “true” Christians)
