Hello I’m contacting you in regards to the Air Force Base that removed its’ nativity scene.

You state it’s in support of freedom of religion and that it violates rules in the military. How dare you? If people are allowed to practice any religion they wish then why can’t they not do so openly. A muslim is allowed to go to their Mosque, they are allowed to leave work to pray five times a day, and they are allowed to fast even when their training conditions requires them to eat.

It’s okay for gay people now to get married and be open in the military, am I correct? They can openly display themselves in public? It’s their right isn’t it? Why is it not the right of Christians to practice their religion by displaying a nativity scene, in YOUR perspective it should be NO different than displaying gay sexual orientation to the public. You are a disgusting organization to even support such an act as removing a Christian religious holiday decorations.

So people who are offended by Christianity are allowed to cause an uproar over traditions and practices of the religion but I’m not allowed to say that I do NOT want to see or support gay marriage and relationships? If I do, I’m seen as anti-gay or committing hate speech.

This country has been turned upside down and it started with organizations like you that think you have the right to conduct a “balancing act” between people’s lifestyles. Being openly gay and being an open Christian. Being an Obama supporter and just not.

If everyone has the right to do what they please with their life then EVERYONE should be forced to just “leave them alone”, leave the nativity scene up, go stand on a soapbox and talk for eighteen hours and preach your beliefs if that’s what you want, allow Chaplains to do there job because there are so many religions out there.

If you are truly protecting people’s religious beliefs, you would be supporting nativity scenes and not tearing them down.

    Well, first of all, military couples, gay or straight, are restricted from public displays of affection. So, you won’t be subjected to being exposed to “gay” activity on a military installation.

    Second, it isn’t a Chaplain’s job to bring the troops to your lord and savior jesus christ.

    Third, what you think is your “religious right” is to impose your cult beliefs on everyone else, including all those in the military. Thankfully, Col Weinstein (retired and American Patriot) is helping put a stop to that “religious freedom”. He isn’t performing a “balancing act” as you suggest. He is the only person I know that is helping to protect the true religious freedom of every military member of the US armed forces.

    Fourth, a muslim freely going to their mosque is not equivalent to you pushing your belief in the baby jesus on a captive audience on a military base.
