Establishment Christianity.

21-Dec-10

Astonishing statement by a U.S. servicemember on DADT, reported to me by a friend:

“This is the first time my government and my religion are in conflict.”

What an indictment of establishment Christianity.  On the normal processes of military operation – killing, torture, violence – a soldier can see his Church as favorable or irrelevant.  But allowing gays to serve openly – this is seen as contrary to the essence of the religion.

    As Keith Malone once said “Illusion here all over me”.
