Your Tax Dollars at Work: Pushing Fundie Sexist Christ-ist Propaganda Instead of Treating PTSD
Look, I'm as anti-fundimentalist as anybody, but hey, that serm--I mean syllabus isn't ALL about JESUS stuff. Why, right down there near the end is a bit about GM vs Toyota.
What a cool name for a General, Rod Bishop, sorta manly and ecclesiastical in one go!
I was an airman once, back in the 68-72 timeframe. We were also purpose driven. The purpose was to get paid and get plastered. Then I discovered hashish and a LOT changed.
Well, when you want people to tithe, you want them to tithe even when they ain't got no income. So, if they save now, they'll still be able to give later. Giving is fine, tithing is bullshit. It's just another guilt trip the "spiritual leaders" lay on the credulous boobs.
And, if there wasn't enough evidence for the overt religiosity in the "Commander's Call" piece, that constant, incessant drumbeat about GOD needing the cash (what, exactly, does he need to buy?) is a dead giveaway.
