MRFF is the anti-Christ or Satan (not)

Dear Mikey,

No your not that important. You are not the anti Christ, Satan or anyone else of importance. You are simply one of many prophesied about in end times, that will be false teachers hiding behind half truths. End times needs folks like you to fulfill prophesy as Judas, Herod, Pilate and many others were made by God to fulfill prophesy.
Matthew 7:22-23
22 Many will say to me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name and in your name drive out demons and in your name perform many miracles?’ 23 Then I will tell them plainly, ‘I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!’

God bless

Stan,

Mikey read your email and asked me to respond on behalf of MRFF.

I am a Christian (Episcopalian in fact) who fully supports Mikey’s and MRFF’s attempt to protect members of the U.S. Military from unconstitutional religious influence in relation to their training, assignment, advancement and retention. As a Christian supporter of MRFF, I truly enjoy efforts to proselytize to everyone here at MRFF. In this private setting, it is both appropriate and appreciated. I have the freedom (as do you) to demonstrably agree with your message, disagree with your message or totally ignore with no chance of repercussions. If on the other hand your proselytized message was being delivered to me in a government controlled situation where your official capacity was superior and mine subordinate, your message becomes immediately oppressive due to the loss of my freedoms as listed above. Your accusation of Christian oppression is simply ludicrous, no faith can honestly claim oppression when their proselytization on the government’s time or dime is stopped.

Let me use the words of another in further explanation:
No one will be prosecuted simply for sharing one’s faith in the military. Sharing your faith – in a non-official context – is fine. What’s wrong is when it is in a mandatory, official, or any other context in which the power dynamic between the individuals is out of balance (e.g., a commander recommending church attendance to subordinates).

Should fundamentalist of other religious faiths engage in the same type of activity within the U.S. Military, MRFF’s response will be exactly the same. You should also be aware that MRFF 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.

The language employed by Mikey in his writings is a forceful calling out of Christian Dominionists and Fundamentalists intent on using the military as their personal playground for proselytizing to an audience controlled by the UCMJ and Lawful Orders from their commanders. Mikey’s and MRFF’s language is a conscious choice to use some of the same language many Christian Dominionst and Fundamentalists consistently deploy against many who happen to disagree with either their proselytized message or their perceived non-existent right to spread it in a strictly government controlled setting.

Peace be with you,
Andy Kasehagen
