Chaplain told not to pray in Jesus' name

This probably belongs in the News forum, but I'm putting it here anyway...because I believe it's yet another sign of the times we are now in:

snippets from the article:

A Navy chaplain who faces the end of a stellar 19-year career because of his faith-based views on marriage and human sexuality was told by a base commander to refrain from offering a prayer in the name of Jesus, according to attorneys representing the chaplain.

...

Last December, an openly gay officer at the Naval Nuclear Power Training Command in South Carolina, took offense at Modder’s take on homosexuality. The chaplain, who is endorsed by the Assemblies of God, was accused of discrimination and failing to show tolerance and respect – among other things.

Just a few months earlier, Modder’s commander had called him the “best of the best” and a consummate professional leader.” But now he’s on the verge of being kicked out of the military.

This is the CHANGE Obama promised.

My son in law was is a retired Captain of the US Navy.

I attended his ceremony to be installed as a base Commander.

Three star Admirals came up to me when I first walked in the room and addressed me by name and thanked me for how I raised my children. There was not one or two that did this but many.

They let me know that my son in law was not chosen only because of his qualities, but the qualities of his whole family which of course included my daughter.

The whole ceremony was centered around Christ.

My son in law's father and me were honored above everyone in the whole room. They all made it very clear that they were obeying the command to "honor your father".

I was told by all of these Admirals that my son in law would make Admiral they way he was going.

But after Obama took office the whole Navy changed. All of those Admirals who were Christians, were removed from power and given meaningless tasks.

In time all of them were either thrown out of the navy by trumped up charges, or they retired seeing the writing on the wall.

Obama has turned our military into a political organization instead of a military one.

He removed all of the Officers who were conservative that supported the US Constitution and put in officers that would obey him instead. This is dangerous in the extreme because instead of those who are qualified leading our military, it is those who agree with Obama instead.

This amounts to appointing fools to lead our military.

The military swears an oath to obey the US Constitution above all. They were taught this to keep a dictator from taking over.

But Obama has CHANGED all of that.

That is why he wants homosexuals in the military. They will obey him instead of the supreme law of the land.
