Raising US army as Christian Army

[zagahaga]

leave the colonel alone LOOOOOOOOLLLLLLL

 

[oceanx]

Needless to say, though related to this forum only remotely, pressing one's views especially religious on the weak or oppressed or occupied is everything BUT CHRISTIAN

Amen to that!

 

[Omar1984]

If US forces think that they can make Afghanistan a Christian majority country then they know nothing about the region.

The British ruled our land for more than 200 years and the only people they were successful in converting to Christianity were a few Hindus in our region. Pakistan has less than 2% Christians who were converted by the British from Hinduism. If the British couldn't convert us in 200 year rule, what makes US forces think they can convert Afghans in less than 10 year rule.

Our good work is never done until ALL wear the sign of the cross.

Trust me, you are ALL on my to-do list.

 

[Gin ka Pakistan]

90% of US army has no interest in religion at all so they can't be called Christian Army, they are just doing their duty for the pay.

Our friends here S-2 and Gambit here are Catholics.


United States is a White Anglo Saxon Protestant ( WASP ) nation ( thats the power base irespective of the claim that they are secualr etc etc ) and deep underneath they wont give this much space to the other sect ( i.e Catholics )!

Less white than you might think, U.S. Census Population projections

2008 2050
Non-Hispanic whites 66% 46%
Hispanic 15% 30%
African Americans 14% 15%
Asian American 5% 9%


Protestantism (51.3%)
Roman Catholicism (23.9%)
Mormon (1.7%)
Jehovah's Witness (0.7%)
Orthodox Church (0.6%)
other Christian (0.3%)
Unaffiliated, including atheist or agnostic (16.1%)
Judaism (1.7%)
Buddhist (0.7%)
Islam (0.6%)
Hinduism (0.4%)
other (1.2%)

Islam is the fastest growing religion in the United States,with 20,000 converting each year, mainly among African Americans and Whites, including a few Latinos

while we are discussing the benifits of catholicisim please forgive a little levity.

Tommy O'Connor went to confession and said, "Forgive me father for I have sinned."
"What have you done Tommy O'Connor?"

"I had sex with a girl."

"Who was it, Tommy?"

"I cannot tell you father, please forgive me for my sin."

"Was it Mary Margaret Sullivan?"

"No father, please forgive me for my sin but I cannot tell you who it was."

"Was it Catherine Mary McKenzie?"

"No father, please forgive me for my sin."

"Well then it has to be, Sarah Martha O'Keefe."

"No father, please forgive me, I cannot tell you who it was."

"Okay, Tommy go say 5 Hail Mary's and 4 Our Fathers and you will be abolished of your sin."

So Tommy walked out to the pews where his friend Joseph was waiting. "What did ya get?" asked Joseph.

"Well I got 5 hail Mary's, 4 Our Fathers, and 3 good leads."

"Well I got 5 hail Mary's, 4 Our Fathers, and 3 good leads."

Outstanding!!

 

[AZADPAKISTAN2009]

Oh grow up ppl , every one should have choice to practice what they want , I have no issue with christianity but war is wrong

And the fact that most humans don't understand this simple fact , they themselves do not practice what they preach

Rest is all messed up

 

[MastanKhan]

Vassnti,

That was a good one.

Ahhh, a pay that makes them into a man/women (a good abiding citizens of a great nation) that is not control by theological alternatives. Think about that first before even questioning religion aspects in the army. It is afterall not the mindset of singularity but a melting pot afterall. Ohh how hard it is for some people!!!!

...
I found that in my few years, I could sit down with my Catholic and even some Jewish friends and openly discuss religion anyway I wanted to and it would always end in a nice manner.

I cannot say the same for Protestants, maybe it was just a coincidence to have had that view because I was in the South or otherwise, God know better.
...

Here is one Catholic's musing on his understanding of the "WOT": Every Man a God-King (referenced by yours truly once before already)

Thus I'd have to concede a grain of truth to your overall sentiment. The "evangelical" community had been taken to the cleaners - in a spiritual sense - by the Likud-Hagee-Neocon unholy troika over the past 10-15 years.

Granted, there have also been the occasional wannabes and "useful idiots" who volunteer for the side-shows or wave the pompoms from a distance (including but not limited to the international Hindutvadi brigade), but who are otherwise more constrained in reach and ambition.

I don't mind an occasional "wolf in sheep's clothing" - can only fake it for so long. But a "wolf in sheep dog's clothing" is a far more cunning rendition of the .

Really, who needs the Taliban as an enemy when you got "Mullah" Hagee as your shepard?

 

[pakomar]

What's wrong with proselytizing so long as it is not done at the barrel of a gun?

Unlike the Taliban, at least US troops are not strapping on suicide vests or driving cars full of explosives into markets to enforce their 'religious interpretations'.

Haven't heard of US troops throwing acid in girls faces ala some Taliban extremists either.

There are valid issues to criticize the US on - this is not one of them.

believe it or not the bot US and Taliban are doing the same.
Taliban doing it by creeper ways and US by booming .Taliban main goal is to get western out of their country which is not in case of Pakistan.
US did there best to touches and raping afghans and Iraqis but there crimes are not brought in front of world because US own the propaganda department.

so afghans are right that is US is thread to Islam.
if a Muslim pray in mosque are and read Quran they are terrorist and US are welcome to boom their mosque.
but when US occupied a countries are spread their religion they are doing good work.

 

[Kompromat]
