campus crusade for christ - infiltrating the military - "we must embrace christ"
all those presidential candidates who are invoking Jesus this year (Obama/Huckabee/Romney)must be happy as clams that campus crusade for christ is deliberately and with the blessing of the US military AND GOVERNMENT infilitrating
and indoctrinating/recruiting troops to promote their religious views.

The motto of CC for Christ Military Ministry is to:

"Evangelize and Disciple All Enlisted Members of the US Military. Utilize Ministry at each basic training center and beyond. Transform our culture through the US Military."

watch the video linked there, it takes a few minutes to load but you can open and view it in progress.

scary....and real.

1. I think the members of the "Campus crusade for christ" would do better
by actually enlisting in the military and going to Iraq. Then they could not only "evangelize" the troops, they could evangelize the Muslims at the same time. and if they were real lucky they might get to actually meet jesus real soon.

6. Hey, I had no idea Obama talking about his faith meant he was as much of a
crazy reichwing Christian as Romney and Huckabee.

Really, truly amazing.

10. Remember the old saying...you are judged by the company you
keep?

It's not the fact that he talks about his religion.....it's who he is talking to. He is not outspoken homophobic hate mongers, he goes on tour with professed homophobes.....

It's the company he is keeping. Why does he feel he has to pander to them?

7. Fundamentalists "own" the Air Force Academy already
Read "With God On Our Side" for a frightening exposé of how religious extremists have virtually seized control of this institution.

The fundamentalists are using all of their collective power to gain influence in various governmental offices and institutions so that they can "win the world for Christ." Basically if you don't believe the way they do, forget about it. It's their way or the highway.
