				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I was married to an Army commissioned officer in the 1990s. As a Pagan at that time, I was involved with the Military Pagan Network, a group seeking fair treatment of Pagans in the military. Therefore, even though I am no longer attached to the military in any way, when I heard about your organization, I was happy to support it and share information about your cause.</p>
<p>Then I saw your website and your references to &#8220;Spiritual Rape.&#8221; I am now a sexual assault victims&#8217; advocate, working to help prevent sexual assault and to help sexual assault victims understand their options, navigate the criminal justice process, and find needed resources. Rape is the violent and sexual invasion of the most intimate part of a person&#8217;s body, usually accomplished by force or threat. I find your use of the word &#8220;rape&#8221; to describe what is happening to those you represent to be problematic and harmful. I do understand why one might make such a comparison, however, the ramifications of using the word &#8220;rape&#8221; to describe non-sexual assault situations trivializes the trauma rape victims endure and supports rape culture by devaluing the meaning of the word.<br />
The following is a list of common experiences in the aftermath of rape. How many of those the MRFF represents experience these as a result of proselytizing by a superior officer?</p>
<p>Short-Term:</p>
<p>    physical injuries<br />
    sexually-transmitted infections<br />
    pregnancy (and the struggle of having to choose abortion or giving birth, keeping the baby or adoption)<br />
    secondary victimization (additional trauma caused by inappropriate responses by medical, law enforcement, mental health, clergy, media, and other organizational personnel as well as friends and family members)<br />
    uncontrollable intrusive thoughts about the rape, re-experiencing the violation<br />
    social withdrawal<br />
    intense and unpredictable emotions<br />
    exaggerated startle response<br />
    both sleeping (nightmare) and waking flashbacks<br />
    difficulty sleeping<br />
    difficulty concentrating<br />
    panic attacks<br />
    hyperarousal<br />
    hypervigilance<br />
    feelings of shame<br />
    feeling as if they are to blame for the assault<br />
    lost time from work<br />
    being fired because of symptoms</p>
<p>Long-Term (can be life-long):</p>
<p>    physical disabilities<br />
    sexual dysfunction including painful sex, uterine fibroids, and sexually-transmitted infections<br />
    PTSD<br />
    obsessive-compulsive disorder<br />
    dissociative identity disorder<br />
    borderline personality disorder<br />
    panic disorder<br />
    agoraphobia<br />
    major depressive disorder<br />
    eating disorders<br />
    self-injury<br />
    suicidal thoughts, suicide attempts, or completed suicide<br />
    inability to trust even in everyday social situations<br />
    increased likelihood of substance abuse<br />
    hyperarousal<br />
    hypervigilance<br />
    difficulty with decision-making<br />
    feelings of shame<br />
    feeling as if they are to blame for the assault<br />
    inability to find enjoyment or feel pleasure<br />
    persistent feelings of hopelessness<br />
    decreased self-esteem<br />
    lost time from work<br />
    being fired because of symptoms</p>
<p>Please reconsider the use of the term &#8220;Spiritual Rape&#8221; and remove it from your website. Issuing an apology to rape victims would also be a compassionate and valuable choice on your part.<br />
Thank you,<br />

<p>Dear (name withheld),</p>
<p>MRFF’s Founder and President Mikey Weinstein has read your email and asked me to respond on his and MRFF’s behalf.  Thank you for your support of MRFF’s cause and taking the time to share your first hand experiences in dealing with the extremely significant issues being addressed by both of our organizations along with your concerns regarding the use of the term Spiritual Rape.</p>
<p>Mikey will never use the term Spiritual Rape lightly, any more than the use of the term National Security Threat when he describes the devastating impact of religious predators operating within the U.S. Military.  I appreciate your understanding of the apt nature of the comparison engendered in the term Spiritual Rape.  However, Mikey and MRFF strongly disagree that the use of this term either trivializes victims of sexual assault or supports a rape culture.  As you are obviously aware per the extensive list of short/long term effects of rape, the impacts of rape are manifested both physically and psychologically.  MRFF’s clients as a group have experienced all of the psychological effects listed and a few have been subjected to physical effects as a result of aggressive religious proselytizing.  Mikey himself was brutally beaten twice as a result of rampant religious intolerance and bigotry while attending the U.S. Air Force Academy. Indeed, there are even further outrages. We are quite aware of documented cases where female military members who have been sexually assaulted and/or raped have been told by the fundamentalist Christian military chaplains they desperately sought out for assistance and succor that they, first and foremost, needed to understand that &#8220;it was God&#8217;s will&#8221; that they were so savaged.</p>
<p>Although not a critical factor in Mikey’s and MRFF’s decision to continue using this term when and where appropriate, the concept of Spiritual Rape is not exclusive to MRFF and has been expressed by many individuals regarding their personal feelings and treatment by others.  A collection of case studies was presented, involving the use of this term/concept, by Dr. Ronald M. Enroth, Professor of Sociology, Westmont College:</p>
<p>Churches That Abuse, Ronald M. Enroth. Zondervan, Grand Rapids, MI, 1992, 227 pages. </p>
<p>-reviewed by Maxine Pinson, Publisher/Editor of Savannah Parent<br />
(http://www.csj.org/pub_csj/csjbookreview/csjbkrev92churches.htm)</p>
<p>-reviewed by Margaret Thaler Singer, Emeritus Adjunct Professor of Psychology, University of California at Berkeley (http://www.csj.org/pub_csj/csjbookreview/csjbkrev101churches2.htm)</p>
<p>…a more recent application of this concept:<br />
I’ve Been Raped by a Church:  A Christian Recovery Guide for the Wounded, Vicky Lynch, April 2013, Conquest Publishers</p>
<p>Thank you once again for sharing your experiences and concerns.  While we cannot expect nor demand your agreement with Mikey’s and MRFF’s continued use of the term Spiritual Rape, your consideration of our position is greatly appreciated.</p>
<p>Respectfully,<br />
Andy Kasehagen</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Selected Article Excerpts: </strong></p>
<p>On Sunday, May 19, Tim Graham of the <a href="http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php/Media_Research_Center" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Media Research Center</a>(MRC) <a href="http://newsbusters.org/blogs/tim-graham/2013/05/19/washpost-faith-editor-sally-quinn-blames-female-hating-christians-milita" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">continued the conservative attacks</a> on military civil libertarians by likening <a href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/newssearch/search.html?st=Sally+Quinn&amp;submit=Submit" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Sally Quinn </a>of the Washington Post to <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Herod_the_Great" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">King Herod</a>. Graham’s article for the MRC-founded blog “<a href="http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php/NewsBusters" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Newsbusters</a>” is one indicator that the <a href="http://www.examiner.com/article/deconstructing-hysteria-one-degree-of-separation-from-frc">publicity campaig</a>n against the <a href="http://www.mrff.org" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Military Religious Freedom Foundation</a> (MRFF) may have reached the &#8220;everyone knows it&#8217;s true&#8221; phase. By turning the attack against a reporter sympathetic to sexual harassment victims in the military, Graham was able to propel forward themes that originated with the <a href="http://www.splcenter.org/get-informed/intelligence-files/groups/family-research-council#.UZqS7pWidnI" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Family Research Council</a> (FRC) without directly quoting <a href="http://www.examiner.com/article/frc-fox-and-breitbart-strike-another-blow-for-hysteria">the false statements from FRC</a> itself.</p>
<p>The <a href="http://www.examiner.com/article/deconstructing-hysteria-one-degree-of-separation-from-frc">campaign of misinformation</a> about the MRFF is following the now-familiar rumor cycle of that popular human bloodsport known as a witch hunt.</p>
<p>Whether metaphorical or literal, witch hunts begin during periods of sustained uncertainty.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hi,</p>
<p>Boy are there a lot of people that are really mad at you.  It would be quite funny if it wasn’t so sad.  Through all their hateful comments one stood out.  They (and lets just pick one, say Rick from Trunews) keep calling you an Atheist Jew.  Is that even possible?   Would enjoy hearing from you on this.  </p>
<p>Stay the course,<br />
(name withheld)</p>
<hr/>
<p>Dear (name withheld),</p>
<p>As you can certainly understand, Mr. Weinstein and the MRFF staff are very busy protecting the religious freedom of the women and men in our military, so I have volunteered to answer some of the flood of incoming mail and emails they are receiving.  I hope you also understand that much of the incoming flak and general tumult that has resulted from the recent press coverage of Mr. Weinstein, Ambassador Wilson and Colonel Willkerson visiting the Pentagon is laced with hysteria.  Their visit has clearly ignited a firestorm of fear among those in the faux-Christian community whose attempts to infiltrate and insinuate their cult-like belief system into the ranks of our armed forces has been exposed, and the ferocious response, largely orchestrated by a couple of affiliated organizations and abetted by sympathetic websites and bloggers, has led to a certain amount of confusion.</p>
<p>Your message suggests that you would find much of what has gone back and forth humorous, &#8220;if it wasn&#8217;t so sad.&#8221;  While I&#8217;m unclear what it is you find funny about it, I certainly understand your describing it as &#8220;sad.&#8221;  I&#8217;d go as far as saying it is pathetic that so many who deem themselves Christians can spew such despicable filth at people they don&#8217;t know and work they plainly don&#8217;t understand in what they claim is a defense of their god or their faith.</p>
<p>While I don&#8217;t know who &#8216;Rick from Trunews&#8217; is or claims to be, and I don&#8217;t know what he has said other than what you have identified here, the question you pose in response to alleging that he, or &#8220;they,&#8221; continue to make about Mr. Weinstein actually begs a couple of questions in response:</p>
<p>1)  Why would one spend the time reading &#8220;all their hateful comments,&#8221; including those of &#8216;Rick from Trunews&#8217;?</p>
<p>2)  Isn&#8217;t the term &#8220;Atheist Jew&#8221; explicitly anti-Semitic?</p>
<p>3)  Why would one dignify either such a charge or a question asking that its legitimacy be clarified, with a response?</p>
<p>As one who knows and admires Mikey and is well aware of his personal beliefs, I find him to be a man of estimable character.  I hope that satisfies your curiosity.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[Hello, Mikey. Just to let you know I have added you to my prayer list, and am praying for you...]]></description>
				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hello, Mikey. Just to let you know I have added you to my prayer list, and am praying for you and your whole family as well. I know well the NWO agenda for my nation, and how they will use the US military for martial law. My famous USAF military father was recruited into it, unfortunately, and brought home NWO agenda  rantings from the Pentagon every single day.</p>
<p>&#8220;Everyone who believes in God (and Jesus) should be sent to the detention camps,&#8221; he would rant after coming home from NWO indoctrination in Washington DC. He never wanted Jesus spoken of in our Alexandria VA home. He threatened me continually because of my Christian faith and witness. But as a result, I only grew more determined to follow Him.</p>
<p>And of course, the prisoner boxcars with shackles and detention camps I have documented extensively throughout the years, will be used someday in America for exactly that:round up the Christians and send to to the camps!</p>
<p>I and my fellow Christians have been marked for destruction under coming martial law. Very Bolshevik style&#8230;and sadly history repeats itself, this time on American soil.</p>
<p>It sounds to me, from reading statements you have made, that you are most definitely on the NWO/martial law bandwagon. And determined to destroy Christianity from the US military&#8230;and perhaps destroy Christians with it?</p>
<p>I certainly know the agenda. Noahide laws/military guillotines and all&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;Quite a Zionist/Talmudic/kill the Christians agenda, clearly.</p>
<p>Dear Mikey, if you are on the side of the NWO and the martial law agenda, you are on the eternally losing side. Jesus IS the ONLY MESSIAH that God will ever send to the Jews, and the only Savior of the world as well. He is eternally THE MESSIAH, He loves you  and He died for your sins as well as mine. How many of my Jewish friends have discovered the true joys of knowing Jesus as their true Messiah! He is real.</p>
<p>And what if you are wrong about Him? And what if you have to stand before Almighty God for your role in fighting against the Messiah of the Jewish people and the Savior of the world? What if you have to give an account for all His followers that YOU have helped to persecute? Jesus the Messiah taught, &#8220;Fear God, Who has the power to destroy body and soul IN HELL. I say to you, FEAR HIM.&#8221;</p>
<p>It will take more than the threats of prisoner boxcars with shackles, guillotines, and deathcamps under martial law, or military court martial to stop the Christian witness to America, the US military&#8230;and the world. We cannot be silenced from the world&#8217;s scene. Even death itself cannot silence the Christian witness. Jesus Christ was nailed to the cross&#8230;yet His testimony to the world continues to this very day! The blood of the Christian martyrs remains the seed of the Church to this very day.</p>
<p>Communists tried for 7 decades to crush Christianity in the former Soviet Union, and failed. Their efforts will fail once again in America. You can&#8217;t fight against Almighty God and His Mashiach/Messiah, and hope to win, Mikey.</p>
<p>I remember making a pilgrimage to Dachau twice, on behalf of all the Jews and others who tragically died there. My heart grieved for all they suffered under the horrific Nazi regime. And I too said in my heart, &#8220;NEVER AGAIN.&#8221;</p>
<p>But now it is MY Christian people facing the deathcamps solely for our faith and nothing else, here in America. I see the same type of agenda as used by the Bolsheviks and the Nazis as well, using prisoner trains and deathcamps  in America&#8217;s future,to eliminate all perceived (and misperceived) enemies of the coming NWO.</p>
<p>I find it most tragic that here in America, wherein you have so many Christians praying for the Jews and for Israel and voicing their support for Israel, that so many Jews in this nation have been secretly working on this NWO Zionist agenda which will sentence these very same Christians to death for their faith and confession of Jesus Christ as Son of God and Messiah. I understand perfectly the purposes of the many modern guillotines in America, and the Noahide Laws that accompany them. And it does not deter me from MY faith. Jesus Christ IS the Messiah, He IS divine, and He IS God in the flesh, and I indeed worship Him as my Lord and Savior, sent of God to save the world from sin.</p>
<p>Very sad, the camps and the guillotines for the Christians who love the Jews and are praying for Israel. A true betrayal of people&#8217;s love and good will, indeed.</p>
<p>But nothing will deter the faith of THE TRUE FOLLOWER of Jesus the Messiah. Let us die in the camps for Him, if needs be, Who also suffered and died for us. You will find it is impossible to eradicate Christianity from the face of the earth. because whatsoever is born of God is ETERNAL and can NEVER be destroyed.</p>
<p>Continuing to pray for God to open your eyes to THE TRUTH&#8230;&#8230;..</p>
<p>Your friend, (name withheld)</p>

<h3 style="text-align: center;"> The following response was sent by Blake Page,<br />
MRFF Special Assistant to the President and Director of West Point Affairs</h3>
<p>(name withheld),</p>
<p>I understand that you are very passionate about your beliefs.  That&#8217;s wonderful.  I hope that your version of the truth gives you satisfaction in life, and the strength to treat others with dignity and respect.  From the contents of your e-mail though, it seems that you are more than slightly delusional.  If your father ranted about any new world order agenda at home, he certainly didn&#8217;t express it in his public work.  Adding to that, your theory of a concerted effort to usurp authority from our government with the force of martial law (as distant from reality as it is) is so incredibly far from the MRFF mission I can only say that I hope you can take the time to read up a bit on what our organization is about.</p>
<p>There are no cattle cars or shackles ready to cart away Christians.  There is no grand conspiracy to set the end times fantasies in motion.  Your attempt to juxtapose the position of Christians in America with the victims of the Holocaust is despicable.  Truly, unforgivably amoral.  I say amoral instead of immoral, because it is quite apparent that you are not just in breach of an ethical code, but lack one.</p>
<p>I have seen many off the rails rants from people sending hate mail, but you&#8217;ve assembled the most bizarre combination of conspiracy theories I&#8217;ve seen yet.  Pascal&#8217;s wager is almost always thrown about, many people accuse the MRFF of being tyrannical, but you have gone full blown batshit crazy with your assertions about Christian death camps being readied for operation&#8230;.there&#8217;s just no reality in it.  Sorry.  None.</p>
<p>I hope this was a joke on your part.  If not, wow.  Just, wow.</p>
<p>Take care,</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>by Chris Rodda, MRFF Senior Research Director</strong></p>
<p><strong>Selected Article Excerpts:</strong></p>
<p>•    Just about a year ago, one of our more news-savvy members of Congress showed off his discerning assessment of news sources by posting a very important article on his Facebook page. The article, revealing the shocking news that Planned Parenthood had opened an &#8220;$8 Billion Abortionplex,&#8221; was from one of the nation&#8217;s most highly respected and reliable news source &#8212; The Onion! The congressman was Rep. John Fleming (R-LA).<br />
•    Well, it seems that Congressman Fleming&#8217;s ability to separate fact from fiction hasn&#8217;t improved much in the past year. The stories he&#8217;s now believing might not come from The Onion, a site that anybody with half a brain would immediately recognize to be satire, but the headlines are just as far-fetched and the stories just as fictitious.  Here&#8217;s what Fleming had to say last week in Congress:</p>
<blockquote><p><em>  Mr. Speaker, I want to be certain that the administration and Pentagon leadership do not deny our men and women in uniform one of the very freedoms they are fighting to protect. On Monday I led on a letter sent to Defense Secretary Hagel demanding details about a meeting between Pentagon officials and anti-Christian extremist Mikey Weinstein. Weinstein has spent nine years at war &#8212; those are his words &#8212; at war with evangelical Christians who he says are committing &#8220;spiritual rape&#8221; against the U.S. military. Christians who are merely exercising their First Amendment right or primary duties in the case of chaplains. Mr. Weinstein exploits freedom of speech to name call and to label Christians as the &#8220;Christian taliban&#8221; and &#8220;al Qaeda,&#8221; but he seeks to shut down the religious freedom of expression of service members in the process. I have trouble with several anti-Christian steps the Pentagon has taken in recent years. That is why my colleagues and I seek answers from Secretary Hagel on this important question now.</em></p></blockquote>
<p>•    I know it&#8217;s becoming increasingly hard to tell if a headline is from a less than reliable alarmist news site or a satire site like The Onion, but you&#8217;d think a member of Congress who has already embarrassed themselves once by falling for a fictitious story would at least check to see whether or not another seemingly unbelievable story is true before repeating it &#8212; and especially before repeating it on the floor of the House of Representatives. But not Congressman Fleming!</p>
<p>Where did such a ridiculous story come from? Breitbart.com, aided by FOX News and a whole bunch of fundamentalist Christian websites and organizations, particularly the Family Research Council.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Dear Mikey,</p>
<p>How fast would a CHRISTIAN been brought to trial</p>
<p>after murdering 13 soldiers?????</p>
<p>Maj. Nidal Hasan</p>
<p>The Fort Hood shooting was a mass murder that took place on November 5, 2009 at Fort Hood  near Killeen, Texas.</p>
<p>In the course of the shooting,  Major Nidal Hasan,  a Muslim, murdered  13 people and over 30 people were injured.</p>
<p>It is the worst shooting ever to take place on an American military base</p>
<p>It’s difficult to believe in your mission.</p>
<p>(name withheld)</p>
<hr/>
<p>Dear (name withheld),</p>
<p>Your question is easily answered if you had bothered to spend more time with a little research and less time attempting to construct a Christian victimization meme.</p>
<p>Army Sergeant John M. Russell</p>
<p>On May 11, 2009, five United States military personnel were fatally shot at a military counseling clinic at Camp Liberty, Iraq by Army Sergeant John M. Russell. In the days before the killings, witnesses stated Russell had become distant and was having suicidal thoughts.  Russell was charged with five counts of murder and one count of aggravated assault. Officials stated there was an argument at the Camp Liberty Combat Stress Center and Russell was being escorted back to his unit at Camp Stryker when he took an unsecured M16 rifle from his escort, drove back to the clinic, and opened fire on unarmed personnel.</p>
<p>An Army sergeant was sentenced Thursday (5/16/2013) to life in prison without parole for the 2009 killings of five fellow service members at a combat stress clinic in Iraq.  A military judge, Army Col. David Conn, found Sgt. John Russell guilty of premeditated murder on Monday (5/13/2013) and imposed the sentence Thursday morning.   </p>
<p>http://www.metro.us/newyork/news/national/2013/05/16/john-russell-sergeant-who-killed-fellow-u-s-troops-in-iraq-gets-life-sentence/  andhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Camp_Liberty_killings</p>
<p>(note:  I could find no reference to a professed faith, or lack thereof, for Sgt. Russell.  Based upon recent media standards, my logical assumption is that he is not a self-proclaimed Muslim.)</p>
<p>Maj. Nidal Hasan</p>
<p>The judge, Col. Tara Osborn, also reconsidered and again denied Hasan&#8217;s request to plead guilty in connection with the November 2009 attack on the Texas Army post.  The judge set the next hearing for May 29, [2013] when Hasan is to enter a plea. Osborn said jury selection would not begin until all pretrial issues had been resolved, which would be May 30 at the earliest.</p>
<p>http://www.armytimes.com/article/20130509/NEWS/305090028/No-delay-trial-Fort-Hood-shooting-suspect</p>
<p>If you had taken the time to engage your brain between your uncontrollable attacks of ideological flatulence and incontinence, you could have answered this question yourself.  Looks like a very similar time frame to me in these two particular cases.  However, a rational individual (something I’m not accusing you of being) would also know that the time frame for any judicial action, civil or military, is extremely subjective due to an infinite number of circumstances.</p>
<p>As a Christian (Episcopalian in fact), I fully support Mikey&#8217;s and MRFF&#8217;s attempt to protect members of the U.S. Military from unconstitutional religious influence in relation to their training, assignment, advancement and retention.  This includes all attempts at proselytizing any religious belief within the military structure.  MRFF also fully supports the military chaplaincy role in its passive (i.e. without proselytization) ministrations to the religious needs of all U.S. Service Members of any faith.</p>
<p>Your belief in MRFF’s mission is every bit as relevant as your research capabilities.  In other words, it’s meaningless.</p>
<p>Sincerely,</p>
<p>Andy Kasehagen</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Dear Mr. Weinstein,</p>
<p>Your organization, in my opinion, is immeasurably evil. Why do you fear a Christian that shares his/her belief? I was in Vietnam for 13 months and thanked God every time I saw a Chaplain praying with the wounded and dying, risking their lives to bring comfort, often assisting as medics. Obviously you were never in combat and have no idea of the strength faith brings.  How can you try to deny service personnel the most basic freedom of this country? Have you ever stopped to think that some want to hear the Gospel?<br />
I hope God has mercy on you and exposes just how harmful you are. If I were you, I wouldn&#8217;t look forward to death.<br />
I know you are too consumed with hate to reply to this in a rational way, so I don&#8217;t expect it.</p>
<p>(name withheld)</p>
<hr/>
<p>Hi (name withheld),</p>
<p>Rick Baker here. I&#8217;m an MRFF Volunteer,  a former Air Force officer and rescue pilot having served two combat tours in Vietnam.  I hope to answer your questions and address your concerns.</p>
<p>MRFF&#8217;s mission is to ensure that each and every member of the Armed Forces receives the freedom of religion guaranteed by the US Constitution.  This means all faiths and beliefs and even non-beliefs, for the constitution also provides protection for those who do not subscribe to religious belief.<br />
We have no desire to deny Christian based services to our troops. We only intercede when we find command centered and coercive Christian proselytizing taking place.</p>
<p>There is an emerging sect of militant and aggressive Christians known as Dominion Christianity that was not around when you and I served. They have for some time, been infiltrating the military and officers belonging to that sect taking advantage of their rank and position to attempt conversions of non-Christians and  upgrading existing Christians to a higher state of obedience. If you are not familiar with the term &#8220;Dominion Christianity&#8221; just Google it for a chilling glimpse into religion that has taken a wrong turn.</p>
<p>We are currently addressing over 33,000 client case complaints from our young men and women in the military who have been co-opted in some fashion and often forced to attend Christian formations and ceremonies.  Fully 96% of those submitting complaints  identify themselves as Protestant or Catholic Christians. Many are told that they are not &#8220;Christian enough!&#8221;</p>
<p>MRFF has good relations with the Department of Defense which has been instrumental in assisting us to provide relief for those  who have found themselves in the grasp of aggressive proselytizers.</p>
<p>I understand your respect for military Chaplains. As one who has flown many Chaplains of  different callings into combat zones and who has great respect for them myself,  I can understand the importance of delivering the comfort they generate to the troops.<br />
AT MRFF there are many practicing Christians, Jews, Muslims, a Buddhist or two and others of different faiths. We all get along and respect each others faith.   </p>
<p>Thank you for your service to America and your letter to MRFF. I hope I have addressed your concerns. If you have further questions I will be happy to address them</p>
<p>Rick Baker<br />
MRFF Volunteer<br />
USAF (Ret)</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Dear Mr. Weinstein,</p>
<p>&#8220;Screw Your Filthy Talmud!!!</p>
<p>All of you Talmudic RACIST &#8220;Jews&#8221; are working together to destroy Christianity world wide and we know who you are and what you&#8217;ve all done!!! YOU WILL FAIL!!! Jesus Christ will prevail over you and you will bow your knees and praise Him as YOUR God and King!!! Rod Jacobs a Christian Jew!!!&#8221;</p>
<hr />
<p>Dearest (name withheld),</p>
<p>My name is Akiva David Miller; I am an Orthodox Jew and the Director of Veterans Affairs for the Military Religious Freedom Foundation. It is with great pleasure that I have the opportunity to respond to your recent note. As a Jew, I must confess that I greet with particular pleasure all notes from fellow Jews, even those who have sadly sunk to pathological self-loathing.</p>
<p>As the saying goes, there is no Anti-Semite like a Jewish Anti-Semite; tragically this is true, and you have demonstrated its truth.</p>
<p>Since the days of Constantine radical Christian Fundamentalists of one stripe or another have practiced their mindless hatred of the Jews: they’ve used confinement in locked, squalid ghettos, forced expulsions, coerced conversions, stealing infants from their Jewish parents, baptizing them and turning them over to Christian families to raise them as Christians, violence, burning of Jewish homes, synagogues and Jewish holy books, blood libels, pogroms, Crusades, the Inquisition and the constant threat and practice of genocide. Both radical, Fundamentalist Catholics and Protestants have engaged in these acts of hatred and terror throughout the centuries. And of course the Twentieth Century brought us the Holocaust, which was made possible by Europe’s institutionalized Jew hatred which had been learned at the altar of rabid, radical, Fundamentalist Christianity.</p>
<p>It is no surprise that you attack the Talmud in your hate filled missive; this has been standard protocol for Anti-Semitic Fundamentalist Christians since the Dark Ages. It demonstrates clearly that you are just one more ignorant pawn who has internalized the lies and baseless hatreds of your religious programmers. You only regurgitate the same old, tired refrain because you&#8217;re sadly incapable of intellectual curiosity or original thought. This is no surprise; those who spread hate and those who regurgitate the hate that has been spread to them (just like any other disease) are typically willfully ignorant.</p>
<p>Over the centuries countless Jews suffered in silence, and some weaker Jews even stooped to selling their souls to the Church in the hope they’d be spared future suffering. Of course both the Inquisition and the Holocaust demonstrated clearly that those Jews who converted to Christianity in hopes of avoiding future suffering were only deluding themselves. Both the Church and the Nazis proved that even if a Jew is willing to betray his heritage he still remains both a Jew and a target. And while you’ve taken the betrayal a step further and joined the radical, Fundamentalist Christians in their pathological Jew hatred, this just makes you another self-loathing Jew with the same, ancient Jew-target tattooed on your forearm.</p>
<p>In contrast to your own pathological weakness and self-loathing, Mr. Weinstein and I have taken a lesson from both radical, Fundamentalist Christianity’s long, rich history of Anti-Semitism and intransigence, and we have decided to fight back. We have decided to fight back, not just for ourselves, not just for our families and friends, but for every single person marginalized by the world-class bigots who fill the radical, Fundamentalist/Dominionist Christian pews today. Israel’s prophets famously demanded that we should not only demand justice for ourselves, but for the underdogs, for the marginalized, for the little guy squeezed and crushed by people in power. And in the U.S. Military and Department of Veterans Affairs, the Fundamentalist/Dominionist Christians in positions of power have been illegally, unconstitutionally and immorally inflicting their bigoted religious beliefs and practices on too many for too long (and it’s worth noting that 96% of the Military Religious Freedom Foundation’s well over 33,000 clients are practicing Protestants and Roman Catholics who are being oppressed for not being “Christian enough!”). Fundamentalist/Dominionist Christian predators have been engaged in religious and spiritual rape for far too long and all you can do is essentially tell the victim that if they’d just consent there would be no rape. Well, I am here to tell you that you can take your self-loathing moral vacuity and shove it up your ass. The Military Religious Freedom Foundation is here to ensure that this spiritual rape ends now. We believe in the righteousness of our cause and we will not be deterred by comments from a pathological coward.</p>
<p>Wishing you all the best in your personal pursuit of moral and intellectual poverty.</p>
<p>Sincerely,</p>
<p>Akiva David Miller</p>
<p>Director of Veterans Affairs</p>
<p>Military Religious Freedom Foundation</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hello, Mikey. Just to let you know I have added you to my prayer list, and am praying for you and your whole family as well. I know well the NWO agenda for my nation, and how they will use the US military for martial law. My famous USAF military father was recruited into it, unfortunately, and brought home NWO agenda  rantings from the Pentagon every single day.</p>
<p>&#8220;Everyone who believes in God (and Jesus) should be sent to the detention camps,&#8221; he would rant after coming home from NWO indoctrination in Washington DC. He never wanted Jesus spoken of in our Alexandria VA home. He threatened me continually because of my Christian faith and witness. But as a result, I only grew more determined to follow Him.</p>
<p>And of course, the prisoner boxcars with shackles and detention camps I have documented extensively throughout the years, will be used someday in America for exactly that:round up the Christians and send to to the camps!</p>
<p> I and my fellow Christians have been marked for destruction under coming martial law. Very Bolshevik style&#8230;and sadly history repeats itself, this time on American soil.</p>
<p>It sounds to me, from reading statements you have made, that you are most definitely on the NWO/martial law bandwagon. And determined to destroy Christianity from the US military&#8230;and perhaps destroy Christians with it?</p>
<p>I certainly know the agenda. Noahide laws/military guillotines and all&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;Quite a Zionist/Talmudic/kill the Christians agenda, clearly.</p>
<p>Dear Mikey, if you are on the side of the NWO and the martial law agenda, you are on the eternally losing side. Jesus IS the ONLY MESSIAH that God will ever send to the Jews, and the only Savior of the world as well. He is eternally THE MESSIAH, He loves you  and He died for your sins as well as mine. How many of my Jewish friends have discovered the true joys of knowing Jesus as their true Messiah! He is real.</p>
<p>And what if you are wrong about Him? And what if you have to stand before Almighty God for your role in fighting against the Messiah of the Jewish people and the Savior of the world? What if you have to give an account for all His followers that YOU have helped to persecute? Jesus the Messiah taught, &#8220;Fear God, Who has the power to destroy body and soul IN HELL. I say to you, FEAR HIM.&#8221;</p>
<p>It will take more than the threats of prisoner boxcars with shackles, guillotines, and deathcamps under martial law, or military court martial to stop the Christian witness to America, the US military&#8230;and the world. We cannot be silenced from the world&#8217;s scene. Even death itself cannot silence the Christian witness. Jesus Christ was nailed to the cross&#8230;yet His testimony to the world continues to this very day! The blood of the Christian martyrs remains the seed of the Church to this very day.</p>
<p>Communists tried for 7 decades to crush Christianity in the former Soviet Union, and failed. Their efforts will fail once again in America. You can&#8217;t fight against Almighty God and His Mashiach/Messiah, and hope to win, Mikey.</p>
<p>I remember making a pilgrimage to Dachau twice, on behalf of all the Jews and others who tragically died there. My heart grieved for all they suffered under the horrific Nazi regime. And I too said in my heart, &#8220;NEVER AGAIN.&#8221;</p>
<p>But now it is MY Christian people facing the deathcamps solely for our faith and nothing else, here in America. I see the same type of agenda as used by the Bolsheviks and the Nazis as well, using prisoner trains and deathcamps  in America&#8217;s future,to eliminate all perceived (and misperceived) enemies of the coming NWO. </p>
<p>I find it most tragic that here in America, wherein you have so many Christians praying for the Jews and for Israel and voicing their support for Israel, that so many Jews in this nation have been secretly working on this NWO Zionist agenda which will sentence these very same Christians to death for their faith and confession of Jesus Christ as Son of God and Messiah. I understand perfectly the purposes of the many modern guillotines in America, and the Noahide Laws that accompany them. And it does not deter me from MY faith. Jesus Christ IS the Messiah, He IS divine, and He IS God in the flesh, and I indeed worship Him as my Lord and Savior, sent of God to save the world from sin.</p>
<p>Very sad, the camps and the guillotines for the Christians who love the Jews and are praying for Israel. A true betrayal of people&#8217;s love and good will, indeed.</p>
<p>But nothing will deter the faith of THE TRUE FOLLOWER of Jesus the Messiah. Let us die in the camps for Him, if needs be, Who also suffered and died for us. You will find it is impossible to eradicate Christianity from the face of the earth. because whatsoever is born of God is ETERNAL and can NEVER be destroyed.</p>
<p>Continuing to pray for God to open your eyes to THE TRUTH&#8230;&#8230;..</p>
<p>Your friend, (name withheld)</p>
<hr/>
<p>Dear (name withheld),</p>
<p>I understand that you are very passionate about your beliefs.  That&#8217;s wonderful.  I hope that your version of the truth gives you satisfaction in life, and the strength to treat others with dignity and respect.  From the contents of your e-mail though, it seems that you are more than slightly delusional.  If your father ranted about any new world order agenda at home, he certainly didn&#8217;t express it in his public work.  Adding to that, your theory of a concerted effort to usurp authority from our government with the force of martial law (as distant from reality as it is) is so incredibly far from the MRFF mission I can only say that I hope you can take the time to read up a bit on what our organization is about. </p>
<p>There are no cattle cars or shackles ready to cart away Christians.  There is no grand conspiracy to set the end times fantasies in motion.  Your attempt to juxtapose the position of Christians in America with the victims of the Holocaust is despicable.  Truly, unforgivably amoral.  I say amoral instead of immoral, because it is quite apparent that you are not just in breach of an ethical code, but lack one. </p>
<p>I have seen many off the rails rants from people sending hate mail, but you&#8217;ve assembled the most bizarre combination of conspiracy theories I&#8217;ve seen yet.  Pascal&#8217;s wager is almost always thrown about, many people accuse the MRFF of being tyrannical, but you have gone full blown batshit crazy with your assertions about Christian death camps being readied for operation&#8230;.there&#8217;s just no reality in it.  Sorry.  None. </p>
<p>I hope this was a joke on your part.  If not, wow.  Just, wow. </p>
<p>Take care,</p>
