An extremely disturbing trend in the US military apparently continues – a trend toward identifying Christian organizations as potentially hostile or dangerous. And this latest example of the top-down indoctrination of our military borders on the unbelievable.

Todd Starnes of Fox News has the story:

   The U.S. Military has blocked access to the Southern Baptist Convention’s website on an unknown number of military bases because it contains “hostile content” — just weeks after an Army briefing labeled Evangelical Christians and Roman Catholics as examples of religious extremism, Fox News has learned.

   The Southern Baptist Convention is the nation’s largest Protestant denomination known for its support of the pro-life movement and its strong belief in traditional marriage.

   Southern Baptist chaplains reported that SBC.net had been blocked at military installations around the nation. The censorship was made public after an Army officer tried to log onto the denomination’s website and instead — received a warning message.

   “The site you have requested has been blocked by Team CONUS (C-TNOSC/RCERT-CONUS) due to hostile content,” the message read.

   Team CONUS protects the computer network of the Dept. of Defense. The SBC’s website was not blocked at the Pentagon.

   It’s unclear what the “hostile content” might have been. The SBC is pro-life and opposed to same-sex marriage.

LibertyNEWS will investigate this situation and publish a more in-depth story later today.

All religion is extreme!

I don't really get which direction ZAR is going. People are dangerous. Religion -to me- has it's uses, but ultimatly is a distraction from responsibility in most cases. When I went to church as a lad, all I heard was, "be good ...but if you're not, don't worry about it, you're forgiven ...so long as you donate and talk to some guy in the porta potty looking thing over there in the corner." LOL -back on subject. I think the military is a threat to our saftey because it is controlled by the government, whom tries to control us... So crappity smack their rights!

And one last thought.......remember it was Christians that waged one of the bloodiest wars in history...the Crusades......and all in the name of Christ!

that is not even remotely close to the truth. The Crusades were far from the bloodiest wars. In fact, if the exact same war had been conducted by any other group and the death toll the same, I doubt you'd even have heard about it.

It's common to say religion has started more wars and killed more people than all others combined, but that's just not true.

Religion is about which fairy tale you believe.

The military use to have pastors and priest. As far as classified information the military has different rights but to shield an individual from Christianity is unconstitutional unless they (the religion) threatens violence. I'm not fighting for religion, I'm fighting for the Constitution. It is being attacked more and more everyday.

Well, your first post in this thread actually made sense... whether you choose the term myth or fairy tale is irrelevant.

You have your weekends in the military... have you ever served on active duty in peace time, let alone in an on call status as they are in now? Your time off is IF, not when, the unit says you can have time off. I was active duty stationed in Spain during the Bosnia mess. We had guys pulled back from leave in the States when the unit was called to standby status. Our detachments to Italy, Crete, Iceland, England and Germany were ALL pulled back to NSA Rota for main body mandatory field ops training.

When you go active duty, you are on borrowed time. Forget "normal" schedules.

Okay, different era. I was stationed in Europe in 95/96.
