Would Have Been Better if You Were Never Born (and responses)

Mr. Weinstein,

I am a graduate of the Air Force Academy. And I live in Colorado Springs. And guess what, I am a devout believer in our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and in spreading the Gospel of His grace and truth far and wide. I speak on behalf of many fellow Academy graduates from all over the country who have a message for you and your unbiblical Military “Religious Freedom” Foundation. Apparently you have a serious problem with Christians. Which stems from the fact that you deliberately believe that the Constitution separates our Lord’s Church from state and that America was not founded to be a Christian nation. It is likely that you also are unhappy with the fact that due to your own free choice your rejection of Jesus Christ will be consigning you to burn in torment in hell forever. That’s right Mr. Weinstein. Hell awaits you. As it awaits your wife and children and all who align with the satanic darkness you and your “Freedom Foundation” preach Mr. Weinstein. And we are frankly very glad of it. You hurt people Mr. Weinstein by denying them access to Christ through our Academy and the military more broadly. There is no changing your hatred of Jesus (2 Corinthians 6:14). As a result of your hatred of Jesus Christ and his followers and your refusal to accept the singular Christian heritage of America you have unfortunately single-handedly become the most recognizable graduate of our Academy in its history. A sinister evil demonic clever and conniving and infamous jewish graduate. Why are we not surprised? And now because of the liberal socialist press your blackness overshadows all of the Air Force Academy’s wonderful graduates and their actual accomplishments. You shame our Academy and its cadets families of cadets and staffers and supporters. We know you were born today. As you have become only the strongest tool of the devil it would have been so much better for America and its true Christian heritage had you never been born at all. As you blow out the candles on your cake today Mr. Weinstein your fellow Academy graduates want you to remember that you will not live forever on earth. But that you will live forever in the flames of those candles.

Dear Mikey,

It becomes easier to understand how deeply conditioned some of our young people are as a result of life long exposure to rote learned religious doctrine.

This young man is a clear example of how years of Christian indoctrination can take away much of the ability to discern reality.

His parents and family are complicit in this mind-rape and even if not directly involved in his transformation to religious robot it is a case of stark neglect to have allowed, perhaps even encouraged this deterioration of mental faculties.

This awful example of religion run amok presents a greater danger to those with whom he is associated than almost any other set of circumstances. He is the quintessential sycophant.

He faces years of increasing isolation and festering psychotic episodes as the very biblical predictions and prophecies he clings to do not materialize. This is where the danger really begins as he will attempt to make them self fulfilling.

Reading his letter was a reprise in a way of the beginning declarations of David Koresh of Branch Dravidian fame and Jim Jones of the People’s Temple. Only this time we are faced with an Air Force insider, an officer who, over a period of time might find association with like thinking individuals and work his way into a nuclear missile facility or bomber uploaded with a hydrogen weapon. His ilk are as likely to become Christian Kamikazes as Jim Jones was a Kool Aid purveyor.

Rather than shake our heads and muse over this persons obviously descent into sociopathy I suggest you should mark his name and location and send his letter on to someone in government with psychiatric abilities who can see the dangers being fomented by him and no doubt others who, like the Warrick Paternal Shepherding Cult, will no doubt attempt to extend his reach. It would be a great disservice to do otherwise.

Happy Birthday.

Rick

Dear (name withheld);

We, on the Board and Advisory Board for the Military Religious Freedom Foundation (MRFF), do not know your name or whether you are a male or female; but God does. Mikey, in his kindness and mercy toward you, has chosen to keep your name confidential.

I am on the Advisory Board for MRFF and am an ordained minister in the Assemblies of God
.
I am appalled that you have so arrogantly taken upon yourself to step into Jesus’s sandals and become the judge and condemner of Mikey and everyone associated with MRFF. You have presumed that you speak for our Lord when He admonished us not to do that. Those who have meted out judgment on others – God will mete out with the same intensity on that person.

To quote Jesus-

Matthew 7:1-3
“Judge not, that ye be not judged.

For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again.

And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother’s eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?”

Matthew 6:14-15
“For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you:

But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.”

You, by your very words and callous heart, have brought the wrath of God upon yourself.

Mikey is the face of MRFF but there are hundreds of people who are Christians, other religions and atheists who work behind the scenes in harmony. You have painted a broad stroke against every person involved with MRFF by your judgmental attitude. You have passed everlasting judgment on the California Council of Churches/IMPACT representing 5,500 churches, the military Chaplains, other churches and Christians who support MRFF.

I’m curious as to how you found out that today was Mikey’s birthday. Did you know it was today and saved this vile, anti-Semitic vitriol to equate hell fire with birthday candles? Did you ponder your words in your heart for days in order to think you might inflict the most hurt on his special day? Did you chuckle within yourself to think that you had the right words that would devastate him? Or did you think your words would bring him to repentance? If you did any of this here, is what God has to say to you.

Psalm 39:1
“I will guard my ways, lest I sin with my tongue; I will restrain my mouth with a muzzle, While the wicked are before me.”

This means to keep your mouth shut even if you are surrounded by what you think is evil

James 1:26
“If anyone among you thinks he is religious, and does not bridle his tongue but deceives his own heart, this one’s religion is useless.”

USELESS! That’s what the Word says. You typed your words in an email and because of your judgmental attitude your religion is USELESS!

James 3:8-9
“But the tongue can no man tame; it is an unruly evil, full of deadly poison.

Therewith bless we God, even the Father; and therewith curse we men, which are made after the similitude of God.”

Psalm 34:12-13
“Who is the man who desires life, and loves many days, that he may see good? Keep your tongue from evil, and your lips from speaking guile.”

Proverbs 21:23
“Whoever guards his mouth and tongue keeps his soul from troubles.”

Matthew 12:36-37
“But I say to you that for every idle word men may speak, they will give account of it in the day of judgment. For by your words you will be justified, and by your words you will be condemned.”

Ephesians 4:29
“Let no corrupt word proceed out of your mouth, but what is good for necessary edification, that it may impart grace to the hearers.”

I am astonished that a Christian would be glad that another human being would go to hell. You said-

“That’s right Mr. Weinstein. Hell awaits you. As it awaits your wife and children and all who align with the satanic darkness you and your “Freedom Foundation” preach Mr. Weinstein. And we are frankly very glad of it.”

You are glad at the prospect of Mikey, his wife, his children and all of MRFF that you consider evil, going to hell? Are you kidding me? Even if we are all evil…which we aren’t… you have placed yourself above God because even He doesn’t think the way your corrupt mind does.

Ezekiel 18:23, 32
“Have I any pleasure at all that the wicked should die? saith the Lord God: and not that he should return from his way and live? For I have no pleasure in the death of him that dieth, saith the Lord God: wherefore, turn yourselves, and live ye.”

Ezekiel 33:11
“Say unto them, As I live, saith the Lord God, I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked; but that the wicked turn from his way and live: turn ye, turn ye from your evil ways, for why will ye die, O house of Israel?”
Matthew 15:19-20
“For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies:
These are the things which defile a man: but to eat with unwashen hands defileth not a man.”
Defile; to make unclean. Your heart is unclean.
You wrote-
“A sinister evil demonic clever and conniving and infamous jewish graduate. Why are we not surprised?”
What do you mean by this? Are you attempting to place the crucifixion of Jesus on all of the Jewish faith? Someone who didn’t even live 2,000 years ago? Should we place the murders done by Christians on all Christians? These are your words. Remember, God is going to hold you accountable for every single one of them.
Contrary to your thinking and others like you, we are NOT anti-Christian. No one is stopping anyone at the Academy or military bases from worshipping as you see fit or not worshipping any faith, as long as religion is kept in the hands of the Chaplains – not the Commander or superiors – where it belongs. MRFF is not stopping you from going to Chapel or attending religious functions put on by the Chaplains. We are stopping the outrageous and unconstitutional belief that one extreme form of Christianity is sanctioned, endorsed and distributed to our soldiers by the Commanders, to the detriment and harm of soldiers of other faiths.
First Amendment
“Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.”
Article VI, paragraph 3
“The Senators and Representatives before mentioned, and the Members of the several State Legislatures, and all executive and judicial Officers, both of the United States and of the several States, shall be bound by Oath or Affirmation, to support this Constitution; but no religious test shall ever be required as a qualification to any office or public trust under the United States.”
You can exercise whatever religion you want but because the military is part of our government, our military cannot establish a certain religion in its midst or demand that our soldiers accept that religion, because it is strictly secular.
When our soldiers take the oath of enlistment, they swear to protect us under the Constitution, not the bible. Jesus never asked us to be “Warriors for Christ” or to fight in His name. Show me one place in the New Testament where we are to be his army here on earth? Revelations speaks of Jesus coming back with His “heavenly” army.
We currently have over 27,000 military clients – 96% of them mainline Christians – that had the guts to contact us about the constant, in-your-face, unwanted, religious proselytizing by this extreme form of Christianity that has hijacked the AFA and other bases. They have told us about the “heathen marches”, beatings, having to do menial tasks if they don’t attend Chapel, given poor performance ratings, denied advancement, brought up on false charges and drummed out of the military – all in the name of Christianity. We’ve even heard of soldiers contemplating suicide because of the pervasive and relentless proselytizing. Do you want any of this on your soul when you face Jesus? I wouldn’t.
You need to get on your face before our Lord, repent and ask for forgiveness for your un-Christian thoughts and words because what you wrote is in no way what would come out of a follower of Christ if he knew what Jesus said.
I also suggest that you get a Red Letter bible, read just the words of Jesus and act on them.
May God have mercy on you.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MIKEY !

Saw this on Chris’ FTB post and just had to respond …

“To the anonymous, cowardly, so-called “blue zoomie”;

There is so much wrong with your post that it would waste far too much time time to respond point-by-point ! Suffice to say it is a shame that our service academies in general and USAFA in particular have accepted as entrants and allowed to graduate and pollute our armed forces and civilian life those: schooled in ignorance and bigotry; who dishonor their oath(s) to protect and defend the Constitution of the Unites States of America; who persist against all reason and fact to continue to propagate the fallacy that this country ever was or is or -hopefully- ever will be a “Christian nation”; or that Mikey Weinstein or the members of and adherents to the Military Religious Freedom Foundation -myself included- has/hav a “serious problem with Christians … what we have is a PROBLEM with the “amerikan taliban” which you and your ilk so poorly represent and bring disrepute to USAFA.” … oh -and btw- it is particularly egregious that your “education” failed to include basic English, not to mention logical thinking ! … or that you lack the moral courage to put name, rank and serial number on your despicable posts !

Happy Birthday, Mikey, and many, many more of sticking pins in pompous, ignorant asses until there is no longer a need !

Dear Mikey,

“As you blow out the candles on your cake today Mr. Weinstein your fellow Academy graduates want you to remember that you will not live forever on earth. But that you will live forever in the flames of those candles.”

Cool. I’ve been told I’m going to be there too. See if you can get a room near mine.

Hi Mikey.

Here is a response — feel free to post it!

What a “fecking eejit”!! (As they say in Ireland.)

He’s right, Mikey. You do have “a serious problem with Christians” — or rather, with Xtians like this! So do I, and so do the many real Christians who work with us.

He is also right in that Mikey and the rest of us “deliberately believe that the Constitution separates our Lord’s Church from state and that America was not founded to be a Christian nation.”

We “deliberately believe” this because it DOES separate his “lord’s” (and every other) from the state, and America was, by the words of its principal and most influential Founders (Jefferson, Madison, Adams, et al) NOT founded to be a “Christian nation” but a secular one – which this idiot would know if he had ever read that document and their words.

BTW, if this putz is a graduate of the AFA. all I can say is their English grammar and usage standards are obviously down the tubes. His usage is ludicrous as we can see from his making separate sentences of one thought;

“Apparently you have a serious problem with Christians. Which stems from…”

And apparently, he has a serious problem with coherent writing — a problem a lot of these fundie ignoramuses seem to share.

He also lets his anti-semitism show (not to mention his apparent inability to capitalize proper nouns — but then, I doubt he’d know a proper noun if I hit him in his ignorant gob with one);

“A sinister evil demonic clever and conniving and infamous jewish graduate. Why are we not surprised?”

My! Another ignorant, self-righteous, bible-thumping, nasty-minded, rabid, radical Christian Fundamentalist. Why are we not surprised? And talk about “evil”? THESE mo-fos are sinister and evil on a cosmic scale!

I note that he also uses the typical Dominionist ploy of trying to frighten opponents by threatening them with “eternal punishment.
HO-HUM!

Even if we were as dumb as he obviously is and believed in his Bronze Age superstitious twaddle (and I don’t), it is clear that from a “biblical” standpoint that ignoramuses like him are incapable of judging or condemning anybody. That “power” is reserved to their deity, not some bible-quoting Elmer Gantry like this yahoo. (Actually, that probably should be Elmer Fudd in his case!)

Matthew 7:1-5 and Luke 6:37 (ESV), among others, warn people like this moron that they should;

“Judge not, that you be not judged. For with the judgment you pronounce you will be judged, and with the measure you use it will be measured to you. Why do you see the speck that is in your brother’s eye, but do not notice the log that is in your own eye? Or how can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye,’ when there is the log in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take the speck out of your brother’s eye.

He should also consider Matthew 5:22 (ESV);

“But I say to you that everyone who is angry with his brother will be liable to judgment; whoever insults his brother will be liable to the council; and whoever says, ‘You fool!’ will be liable to the hell of fire.”

However, I am puzzled by his choice of 2 Corinthians 6:14, which states (in the KJV);

Be you not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship has righteousness with unrighteousness? and what partnership has light with darkness?

I fail to see what that has to do with Mikey’s purported “hatred of Jesus Christ” and not changing it. A more apt citation would have been Mark 6:11, Matthew 10:14, or Luke 9:5, all of which deal with the notion that a preacher (like Elmer here), if rebuffed, should leave.

“And if any place will not welcome you or listen to you, shake the dust off your feet when you leave, as a testimony against them.”

In any case, I would turn this citation back on him and say that I am sure Mikey and the rest of the MRFF are all as happy as I am not to be “yoked together” with such a cosmic asshole as this guy.

This fool is typical of the entire breed the MRFF was set up to oppose – bigoted, unlettered, thugs and bullies, a true American Taliban — and may all the gods (if any) help us if they ever gain the upper hand!

As to “never being born” — IMO, it would be a damned sight better for the country and the world if more people like Mikey were born, and minus zero putzes of Elmer Fudd’s “caliber” (or lack thereof).

Sincerely,

F. J. Taylor

To (name withheld),

The degree of your ignorance about Christianity, our country and its constitution saddens me deeply. The level of arrogance from which you presume to lash out and condemn those who apparently frighten you testifies to the sickness inherent in the belief system in which you have engulfed yourself. The notion that you spew this bile as a self-proclaimed follower of Jesus makes clear that you know little about the teachings you so vainly claim as your own.

My pity for you and those for whom you say you speak overwhelms any anger that might be kindled by your assault. I’d think of what you’ve written here as childish, but that would be an insult to children.
