Two Baptist chaplains are suing the Veterans Administration for demanding they stop naming “Jesus” in their prayers.
Freedom in Modern America: Two Baptist chaplains are suing the Veterans Administration for demanding they stop naming “Jesus” in their prayers.
Two Baptist chaplains said they were forced out of a Veterans Affairs chaplain training program after they refused orders to stop quoting the Bible and to stop praying in the name of Jesus. When the men objected to those demands they were subjected to ridicule and harassment that led to one of the chaplains leaving the program and the other being ejected, according to a federal lawsuit filed Friday.
On Christmas Eve 1968 three Americans became the first humans to visit another world. What they did to celebrate was unexpected and profound, and will be remembered throughout all human history. Genesis: the Story of Apollo 8, Robert Zimmerman's classic history of humanity's first journey to another world, tells that story, and it is now available as both an ebook and an audiobook, both with a foreword by Valerie Anders and a new introduction by Robert Zimmerman.
The ebook is available everywhere for $5.99 (before discount) at amazon, or direct from my ebook publisher, ebookit. If you buy it from ebookit you don't support the big tech companies and the author gets a bigger cut much sooner.
The audiobook is also available at all these vendors, and is also free with a 30-day trial membership to Audible.
"Not simply about one mission, [Genesis] is also the history of America's quest for the moon... Zimmerman has done a masterful job of tying disparate events together into a solid account of one of America's greatest human triumphs."--San Antonio Express-News

Bizarre given theres been a lot of problems with the Army becoming so religious, that anyone not openly “believing” was running into serious prejudice and discrimination. Hitting both side of the bigory divide – how thorough of them.

“Bizarre given theres been a lot of problems with the Army becoming so religious,”……
Except that this is a VA program, Kelly, which is no longer under DoD. That means this is a very different hierarchy than the Army’s, or any military, command structure, …except at only one level, …the WH. Given the number of field grade officers in all services being relieved of command and forced into retirement over the last 3 years, I am wondering about all those complaints I hear, mostly in the MSM, about them thar hurrible intolerant Christians in the military command structure.
Note that the VA has far fewer protections against political influence than the military does below field grade ranks. More active attempts to reduce any level of status of military Christians would naturally start there. That complaints about Christians are voiced is, unfortunately, in the time of Alinsky tactics, little indication that something is really happening. The majority of shoe leather in Republican campaigns is still provided by evangelicals, and seeing FUD about them in many parts of society is hardly unexpected from a journalistic community that agrees so strongly with “progressive” attitudes.
