Military (with a response from Rick Baker)

Good evening,

I would like to provide a short statement as a retired AF enlisted SNCO for you. As a non practicing protestant with no official affiliation I am appalled at you and your organization’s infiltration of DOD. Just because you possibly one served gives no right to bombard and force your opinion of what your views of the religious current should be in the Armed Services. Let the Active duty/Guard/Reserve decide their religious fate, we didn’t have your type of influence in the early ’90s thru early ’00 and existed harmoniously. There will always be a small minority that complains just like in the civilian populace ( we are a slice of America), maybe take up their cause?

Hi (withheld),

Your input along with the many  others we receive is welcome.  This is primarily because it gives us the opportunity to correct any information which may be shaded or untrue.

Not participating in main-stream religion it is difficult for you to know the extent to which religion goes to interfere with constitutional provision.

We have not infiltrated the DOD. Factually we have been paid the courtesy of the DOD and the several Chiefs of Staff in their studying the pith of our operations and finding them to be genuine and constructive. They have been assistive in recognizing the problem and attempting some remedies. Yet  many of our young men and women  in the military continue to be  unfairly treated by elements of the Dominionist movement.

At this time MRFF is addressing over 34,000 complaints from our young men and women in the armed forces that have been subjected to command centered and coercive Christian based proselytizing from dominionist Christians.

None of our actions are directed at regular practicing Christians but rather at this group of Dominionists, many of who have achieved rank and position in the military and who have been compromising the genuine Christians.

I invite you to visit our web site at militaryreligiousfreedom.org for the real scoop on MRFF.
