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.
Now available in hardback and paperback as well as ebook!
From the press release: In this ground-breaking new history of early America, historian Robert Zimmerman not only exposes the lie behind The New York Times 1619 Project that falsely claims slavery is central to the history of the United States, he also provides profound lessons about the nature of human societies, lessons important for Americans today as well as for all future settlers on Mars and elsewhere in space.
Conscious Choice: The origins of slavery in America and why it matters today and for our future in outer space, is a riveting page-turning story that documents how slavery slowly became pervasive in the southern British colonies of North America, colonies founded by a people and culture that not only did not allow slavery but in every way were hostile to the practice.
Conscious Choice does more however. In telling the tragic history of the Virginia colony and the rise of slavery there, Zimmerman lays out the proper path for creating healthy societies in places like the Moon and Mars.
“Zimmerman’s ground-breaking history provides every future generation the basic framework for establishing new societies on other worlds. We would be wise to heed what he says.” —Robert Zubrin, founder of founder of the Mars Society.

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.
