Evangelism: An act of Treason



I feel the need to comment on a story that I’ve been following for a couple days regarding the debate on the status of Christians within the United  States military, where it has now come to light that there are some anti-Christian groups  who are lobbying the Obama Administration  to make it illegal for Christians in the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps or any other branch of the Armed Forces to share their faith with their fellow servicemen and service women who are non-believers, and from all indications it seem that the President is listening.  I note with interest that these people are not targeting all religions as far as I’m aware there are no rules against Jews, Muslims or Hindus trying to indoctrinate members of the military and spread their propaganda but as soon as Christians do it then it becomes a problem. Am I the only one seeing a double standard here?, it’s pretty clear that these people have quite a sinister agenda, which is to halt the influence of Christianity, the real question though is why?, who is behind all these attacks on Christians? Alas that’s  a question even I can’t answer.
                               
In a release from the Pentagon (HQ of the US Department of Defence), it was announced that military personnel can now be court martialled for promoting their religious beliefs, it further goes on to say that  religious proselytization is a major “problem”  facing the military even going as far as to equate it with assault, I mean seriously what the hell is going through the minds of these people?. The USA claims that their country was built upon all sorts of freedom, freedom of speech, freedom of association and most importantly freedom of religion, their constitution clearly prohibits the favouring of one religion over another  nor does it allow religious persecution of any faith, yet these new regulations violate all of these as it clearly gives non-Christian believers an unfair advantage whereas Christians are now being told it’s a criminal act to share their faith with others, so much a "republic under God" when it’s quite clear that these liberals want to stamp out the very mention of God’s name from its institutions and are willing to unjustly prosecute anyone who does not comply, it’s like they’ve already ripped up their own constitution.
                      

This act is reminiscent of the Roman Empire where the pagan Emperors used to enjoy persecuting Christians for sport, accusing them of ridiculous and false treason charges before sending them to the lions, to be burned at the stake or to be crucified as our Lord Jesus Christ was, indeed history is filled with countless stories of martyrs who were willing to sacrifice all to speak the truth that  they know. And now it seems as though the US government is following this trend where the spread of the Christian faith is now seen as an act of treason against the State itself , while some may argue that it’s limited to the military it’s rather naïve to think that it will ever end there, if they succeed then mark my words it won’t end there but will spread like a wildfire to other parts of the US public sector and even in the private sector  if we’re not careful, clearly something has gone wrong.

                                
As for equating evangelism with assault (one person referred to it as  “spiritual rape”) where these people come up with these bizarre ideas? , since it’s such a bad thing why not outlaw the spreading of all faith in the military, why only Christianity?, since when is the gospel of Christ such a great threat to US national security?, why is Islam or Judaism or Hinduism not perceived in the same manner?, I’m sure that those pushing forward this agenda cannot answer these questions. And while on the matter of questions where are the Christians in the White House, the Pentagon, Capitol Hill etc.? why hasn’t someone already taken this case to the Supreme Court as clearly this action is unconstitutional ? are people afraid to speak out against this blatant violation of their right to freedom of religion? If so why? Who’s pulling the strings?

                      

These new regulations leave so many unanswered questions it’s unbelievable. These people claim to be living in the pinnacle of western civilization, a modern age of enlightenment yet this is as draconian as it gets , This is just another example of how modern liberalism and cultural Marxism  have been flexing their destructive muscles,   as on old Jamaican proverb goes “jackass say the world no level” , a democratic government is one that is supposed to rule by the will of the people but clearly this one prefers instead to rule by imposing its will on the people.
