Tweedling Posted July 10, 2008 Share Posted July 10, 2008 Sometimes this board just turns into a big gotcha game rather than actually considering people's points. It's sort of annoying.I love it. That's when I am reminded this is a damn "band board". Quote Link to post Share on other sites

EL the Famous Posted July 10, 2008 Share Posted July 10, 2008 Right, but some people here actually try to discuss/pile on issues and policy and stuff only w/ people who agree w/ their opinions. i get what you're saying, i just challenge every post is meant only for 'discussion' from the get go.

Analogman Posted July 10, 2008 Share Posted July 10, 2008 When I was in, they could still grab people. Anyhow - Christianity serves several purposes to those in the military: 1. In times of war, those who serve are afraid they are going to die,so they start thinking about the supposed afterlife.2. If those who serve end up killing people in combat they feel guilty, and therefore, seek redemption.3. Christianity is a component of Manifest Destiny. There are no atheists in foxholes. A nation of patriotic citizens who dedicate themselves to protecting and defending Quote Link to post Share on other sites
