Christian Hunger Strike in the U.S. Military.

[Heath]

Do you agree with Chaplain Klingenschmitt’s decision to stage a hunger strike after being prohibited from praying in Jesus’ name?

( F.Y.I. The liberals and the ACLU are trying to ban praying in Jesus Christ's Name in the U.S. Military !!!! There is spiritual protection as go in battle and being saved before entering combat operations. )

I don't see a problem if the prayer is not a corporate (including everyone) prayer. I do see a problem if it is forced. Jesus didn't force anyone to accept Him, what gives us that right to do that to others?

I agree with Pek. As long as Muslims are allowed to praise Allah, as long as Buddhists are allowed to follow with their faith in the military, then yes, Christians should be allowed to practice the tenets of their faith.

If, however, observing faith faith results into apparent AND unavoidable obstruction to others and standard operation of the military (or any organization), then I am for placing restrictions that still allow people to observe their faith.
