The Military Association of Atheists and Free Thinkers is offering "alternatives to church" programs and meetings during training at US military bases this summer.
One class is titled, "Letting Go of God."
They are introducing this program with the hope of normalizing the ideas, affirming their belief in non-belief, and gaining official recognition or acceptance, then making it a regular component in the military academies. That, of course, could lead to it becoming a part of the military presentations in high schools and college campus' as well as an accepted program on all military bases.
They say they are trying to create a more "welcoming" religious climate in the military.
Cadets and Midshipmen already have opportunity to meet in humanist secular programs, this would be taking atheism to the next level in our military.
Incrementalism.
This is deceptive. Under the guise of equality, etc., these folks have a very different agenda.
Indoctrination.
Chaplin Gordon James Klingenschmitt, a former Navy chaplain, says this call for diversity is really an attempt by atheists to terminate Christian chaplains and indoctrinate young men and women.
He told the Christian Post, "I think it's sad how atheists are using a government forum and resources to openly recruit Christian cadets into atheism or secular humanism."
The atheist leaders say no, all they want is acceptance, affirmation and equality, like the Christians, Jews and sports teams have.
"Welcoming." "Equality." "Affirmation." "Acceptance." Do these words sound familiar?
Of course they do. They are the mantra of those who seek to redefine the culture and destroy the very foundations upon which the greatest nation in history has been built.
Redefine Faith and Family, and Freedom is lost.
It was Marcus Tullius Cicero, a Roman lawyer, who told his nation :
“A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear. The traitor is the plague.”
It was President Abraham Lincoln who told this nation America would never be conquered by those enemies across the sea, but if we were ever to fall, it would be from those enemies within.
Be Vigilant. Be Discerning. Be Prayerful. Be Active. Be Blessed.
