I have compassion for the lost and pray that you will find the Lord Jesus Christ as your personal savior and stop attacking OUR Country. Isaiah 53:6 tells us We all, like sheep, have gone astray,
each of us has turned to our own way; God is a forgiving God. Repent and turn from your wicked waysThank You!(name withheld)“We are all better than we deserve”Romans 3:23 & 6:23
1. has a significant secular (i.e., non-religious) purpose,
2. does not have the primary effect of advancing or inhibiting religion
3.does not foster excessive entanglement between government and religion
“For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in.
And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is written, there shall come out of Sion the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob:
For thisismy covenant unto them, when I shall take away their sins.
As concerning the gospel,they areenemies for your sakes: but as touching the election,they arebeloved for the fathers’ sakes.
For the gifts and calling of Godarewithout repentance.”
You’re welcome!

I think it’s great that you have compassion and pray for the lost. It becomes a bit judgmental, though, don’t you
think, when you decide that anyone who doesn’t believe exactly as you do is “lost”?
You might want to give that some thought.
What is it we have done, may I ask, that makes you think we have attacked what you call “OUR country”?
Is it not our country as well? Are not the Americans associated with the MRFF, be they staff, clients, members of
the military or civilian, every bit as American as you?
Perhaps Isaiah was talking to you about going astray from the embrace of a loving God and slipping into
arrogance and self-satisfaction. Something to consider, no?
What we do, contrary to your assumption, is protect the right of every woman and man in the military to believe as
she or he chooses. We don’t believe it appropriate to insist one must believe in a certain way; as Americans we
believe everyone has the right to believe or not believe as she or he decides.
It strikes me as the height of arrogance to suggest that those who do not believe as you would have them do are
“lost.” It’s not only arrogance, which doesn’t fit well on one who claims to be a Christian, but it is also profoundly
unAmerican.
And, by the way, we are not “all better than we deserve.” We are all exactly as beautiful, talented, intelligent, blessed,
spiritual, important, meaningful, tolerant and loving as we deserve to be. Some just don’t recognize it.
I wish you well.

You have read it wrong sir. Please read your internet propaganda says . We believe that anyone can have any higher power as their God as they want to. Does not matter if you are Jewish, Muslim, Catholic Methodist, Baptist, Hindu or even a Atheist. What ever you believe is up to you but not to dump that on other people. Americans are smarter that you think and God owns the cattle on a 1000 hills and his will will be done not OURS. Everyone has a right to their believes but no one has a right to stop them. There is something that the for fathers wrote about that (somewhere)? You are very narrow minded in what you believe and think. Like I say there is always hope for the lost. “God wishes that none should parish”. You must be atheists and you have a right to whatever you want but i will pray for you and your organization, your members and you families to find Jesus as their savior. .Because that is the RIGHT thing to do.We are all better than we deserve. Romans 3:23 says “for all have sinned and fallen short off the glory of God no one is righteous not one. Romans 6:23 says “for the penalty for sin is death, but the gift of eternal life is in Jesus Christ our Lord. We are all sinners, we deserve to go to hell as the scripture says. But by his blood we live and HIS conquers all.Please pass this along to all your other members that sent me hate mail.God Bless You!(name withheld)
We are not attacking your country. Your country is our country.
We believe that everyone is free to believe as she or he chooses.
Because our government is based on freedom of belief, no one belief system can be promoted as the “correct one” by any part
of our government.
No one here is trying to stop anyone from believing what he or she chooses to believe, but we do have the right to stop people
in the military from forcing their belief on others, especially those below them in rank. That’s the way we protect everyone’s freedom
to believe as they choose.
When you say “you must be atheists,” you are making a judgment that is not correct. We are people of all faiths and belief systems.
When you say you want our organization, our members and our families to find Jesus because “that is the RIGHT thing to do,” you
are stating your belief. Because that is your belief you are welcome to it, but it may not be right for everyone in our organization, or for our members or our families. I get that that is a hard thing for you to understand, but that’s what freedom of belief is about.
And it’s a perfect example of why we exist. You believe you have the answer for everyone. You are welcome to your belief, but it’s not right. In America, you don’t have the right to force your belief on us or anyone else.
I hope that helps.

What’s sad is that they claim to be for Religious Freedom when, in fact, they are actually for just the opposite!
Yes trolls running around trying to make people ashamed of the beliefs that founded our great nation.
When all I want to do is play whack a theocrat it’s time for me to step away from the internets. There is no arguing logic for the theocrat has none. So how to do battle with an enemy who refuses to acknowledge anyone else’s Rights but their own?
I’m in favor of whacking folk but I’m not the person in charge.
Does Michael believe that MRFF members are “trolls running around trying to make people ashamed of the beliefs that founded our great nation”? If so can he tell us what are the specific “beliefs that founded our great nation” that MRFF is supposedly “trying to make people ashamed of”?
