Dear MRFF,

Succinctly, I’d like to say: The only thing countries in the history of the world that protect and defend the idea of religious freedom are ones who’s predominate constituency is Christian.

If you succeed in ridding the military of ministers who influence all for Christian ends, you will have yourself to thank once your posterity lives under a religion you don’t choose. Look at Europe which is heading towards Islamic rule. They are being overrun by a religion which will eventually outnumber and so impose its religious perspective on the whole even through a democratic system.

The bottom line is this: If Jesus wins it is better for everyone. So you might as well surrender now and find forgiveness and grace from him or be very disappointed once you die and face him on terms that will not be favorable. Besides, your religious freedom this side of eternity depends on it. Oh wait, you won’t be around when your great, great, great grand children have to learn Arabic to read the Koran. So you don’t care.

Turn to Jesus now while you can or you posterity will suffer. Sorry to be so bold but I hope it makes you think a little and so causes you to turn from this nonsense. Christianity is the only thing that allows you to put forward this ridiculous organization.

Let me give you and illustration: You are like a little girl I once saw on a bus sitting in her grandfathers lap holding an ice-cream cone. She dropped the head of the cone on the floor and began to cry. When her grandfather said, she would get another one soon, she turned up and smacked him in the face because soon was not soon enough. Even though everything she had was attributed to her grandfather, she disrespected him and did it in ignorance. Here is the punch line: the Christian God is the only reason why you can complain, why you can have the wonderful education the Air Force academy affords, why America is so great. Yet instead of thanking him and worshiping him, you smack him in the face. Please know he is humble and patient even with your foolishness. But know this, the day is coming when you will realize how foolish you’ve been. I pray not. I pray not. Please understand I do not relish your demise. I pray for you to come to Jesus and surrender before it is too late.

Hey (name withheld),

If there are any mirrors in your home, I would suggest taking a peek into one of them. In that reflection you will see the face of religion run amok.

It is apparent that you see no connection between your pressing the exclusivity of Christianity on our young men and women and the similar proselytizing by Islamists on others.

You are stuck in the rut of the “One True Religion” and the “One True God” and the “only way to heaven is through Jesus Christ” syndrome.

This is not religious freedom. You would have others do your bidding ostensibly to save their souls all the while sounding very little like one who would teach religious tolerance to all.

To say that a Christian majority is the way to religious freedom is a misnomer. In every case of Christian majority it is no different, by degree, than countries with Muslim majorities. The American population is urged, cajoled and in some cases even coerced into Christianity by religious hacks, many of them in government and the military.

Your letter is a form of coercion. It is a direct threat that if this young woman doesn’t surrender herself to Jesus that her “posterity will suffer.”

What a wonderful belief system. Do what I say or suffer! Sound familiar?
It should. It’s been the same way since the Crusades, Inquisition, Genocide of South American indigenous natives by Conquistadors. decimation of the Hawaiian population by Presbyterian missionaries and their syphilis ridden crews, the deadly pogroms against Jews in Russia, the attempted mass conversions of Jews in Spain and the Holocaust in which 6 million Jews were annihilated by a Nation who claimed “Gott Mit Uns” (God is with us).

May I suggest that you stake your claim to a belief in which you are comfortable and let others do the same. Americans do not respond well to threats, especially religious ones.

So it appears to me that it is your agenda which will make us lose out not ours.

Dear (name withheld)

Thank you for contacting the Military Religious Freedom Foundation (MRFF) with your concerns about Christianity and especially as it pertains to the military. I have also been asked to respond to you.

I am on the advisory board of the MRFF. I am also an ordained minister in the Assemblies of God and care very much about how true Christianity is portrayed.

Mikey Weinstein, the founder of the MRFF, is an honor graduate of the Air Force Academy, held the position of Judge Advocate for 10 years at the Air Force Academy and was a Presidential Counsel to President Reagan for 3 years. Many of the people involved with MRFF are military veterans. Some of them, including Mikey, have been the object of beatings, verbal abuse, withholding of advancements, drummed out of the military on false charges and subject to the harshest religious proselytizing ever imaginable.

The MRFF believes that any person who wants to don the uniform of the US military to fight for our freedoms under the Constitution, has that right no matter what religion they practice or if they practice no religion at all.

Your statement “Christianity is the only thing that allows you to put forward this ridiculous organization” is erroneous. The thing that allows us to have this organization is the Constitution of the United States. If our organization was ridiculous we wouldn’t have 23,000 soldiers, of which 96% are mainline Christians, contacting us for help against the blatant and relentless proselytizing by an extreme form of Christianity within our military.

The MRFF supports and fights for religious liberty under the Constitution which states –

“Congress shall make no law respecting the establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof…” (1st Amendment)

“…no religious test shall ever be required as a qualification to any office or public trust under the Unites States.”(Article VI, Section III)

Congress funds the military so there should be no dominant religion in our military…all are welcome.

First and foremost we are NOT anti-Christian as we have been made out to be. What we are fighting against is the Dominionist Christians who believe that our military should be “Soldiers for Christ” and that every war is a “crusade” to rid the world of all non-Christians and those that are not “the right kind” of Christian. This world purge of all of those not of the “right kind of Christian” will then usher in the second return of Jesus to rule for 1,000 years. This false doctrine totally negates the book of Revelations that says that Jesus will come back with HIS ARMIES FROM HEAVEN not our earthly armies. Also, Revelations has a strict warning for those who try to change the prophecy in that book.

For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book: Rev 22:18

And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book. Rev 22:19

Our military has been hijacked by this extreme and false biblical form of Christianity known by the term “dominionist” driven by the “Kingdom Now” theology, which is anti-biblical. This is what we fight against.

The MRFF is not out to get rid of our Chaplains. We recognize the need for spiritual help. We are against the Chaplains of other faiths and mainline Christianity that have been pushed aside and their rights trampled on in favor of the Dominionist Christians who want a purely Christian military. The oath upon entering service is to uphold the Constitution, not the bible.

I commend you for standing up for Christianity as I do. Perhaps if you understood where the MRFF really stands on religious freedom you may join our cause and be a part of the long list of Christians who are fighting to keep biblical principles pure.

Please visit us at

www.militaryreligiousfreedom.org and peruse our website at your leisure. Also, take a look at the few examples of hate mail we get. We receive many from Christians with the vilest language imaginable and death threats, ending with “I’ll pray for you” or some similar comment, that aren’t posted. I must admit that I am shocked that these words come out of Christians. They must remember that it is Jesus who has the last word on who makes it in to heaven. He already gave us plenty of examples on how we are to treat our neighbors, enemies and the poor.

Again, thank you for contacting the MRFF. I hope that I have enlightened you a little bit on our stand for religious freedom.

Your sister in Christ,

Joan
