"Force Ministries": to Instill Patterns for Victorious Christian Duty

[snot]

Have you seen this? Easier to fight if you're killing for Jesus.

From http://www.forceministries.com :

"FORCE Ministries. . . . Our purpose is to impart faith in Christ, instill patterns and principles for victorious Christian duty and ignite individual calling and destiny.  Our mission strategy is simple and encompasses three major areas:  Evangelism, Discipleship and Deployment.

(snip)

"(W)e are able to conduct outreaches while ships are out at sea through our relationship with the local USO office.  Force Ministries also believes it is vital to lay a proper foundation in the new believers life.  . . . We currently have Force Bible Studies on several military installations through out the world and have materials available to send upon request. . . . We are currently training missionaries that will be sent to serve overseas near military bases. . . ."

1. I don't trust ANY religious organization that ...

has the word "FORCE" in its name. :eyes:

[LizMoonstar]

6. dang. No love for Jedi, eh?

[BattyDem]

8. LOL ... I'll make an exception for the Jedi

:-)

[DerekG]

14. Hey! The Jedi are defenders of peace and justice

Don't be fooled by these X-tians. They're f---ing Sith (without the cool wardrobe).

[LizMoonstar]

15. which is really too bad, because that's the best part of being Sith.

[DerekG]

17. Definitely. I couldn't hate a guy who wears a black cloak.

Sidious and Vader rock...ideology be damned.

2. My God...just when you think they couldn't get any WEIRDER...

what a pukefest. We're rapidly losing ground to the time-travelers from the 13th century. I can't think of any other explanation.

3. Well I looked at the Champions for Christ. Now I can't stand Mark Brunell.

He won't be on my fantasy team. Couldn't find more football names. I suspect there are quite a few. Many hold those silly prayer circles after the game. I think God/dess has more pressing issues than making sure a wide receiver makes the catch in the end zone.

4. How about that flash opening...

Explosions and bullet holes... that sure makes me think of the prince of peace! :sarcasm:

[Lerkfish]

5. upchuck.

[mzteris]

7. OMG - that is SICK!

Absolutely the most nauseating thing I have seen in a very long time. Pictures of gun-toters and words professing Jesus Love.

These people are going to rot in the depths of hell. (If there is such a place.)

[JHB]

9. They'll win me over when...

...they start skydiving without parachutes. Until then it's just "military adrenaline junkies for Jesus"

[MissMarple]

10. Gee, sounds like they are in force at the Air Force Academy.

But they aren't as funny as they are scary. They use faith to control people, to gain influence and power. These self styled Christians are insidious and evil.

[wli]

11. very Republican interpretation of Christianity n/t

[GreenPartyVoter]

12. Oy!

[htuttle]

13. Now it all makes sense to me

Jesus isn't about love after all. He's all about killing people.

NOW the last 2,000 years finally makes sense!

[Cats Against Frist]

16. This has to be a joke

and if it's not, may cod help us all.

[SunDrop23]

18. That's creepy.

[snot]

19. It fits with

something I've been thinking and just posted about at http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=104&topic_id=4402665&mesg_id=4402665 --that

There are TWO VERSIONS of what it means to keep up the troops' morale:

1. What Cindy and her supporters mean is:
we want them to know we support and we don't hold the war against them.
we want their morale about themselves to be good and to know that we value them; we love and honor their courage and other personal virtues.
we want them to have hope for the future.
we at least wish we could afford them confidence that folks back home and in our government are in touch with reality and that troops will not be sent into danger for specious or sordid reasons.

2. What I've recently realized the conservatives mean is:
they want the troops to be single-mindededly efficient in killing or carrying out other orders, without any doubts or distractions that might arise if they begin to question their leaders' competence or motives.

20. I bet the guys and gals don't have time or patience with this bullshit ...

nor much concern for this crazed perversion of Bibical teachings.
