9. Hang on a second.

This is for an Army Installation at Ft. Stewart. It is probably for military people who live on base. The Army does hire chaplins and priests and rabbi's to give services to their members. I know, I work on an Army Base. I do not have a problem with this IF and only IF it is for the military members living on base.

10. this is to develop relig. programs & it's not an ad for a chaplain, priest

or rabbi.

I have an issue with my tax dollars being spent to hire a religious education specialist to develop Sunday school programs, Bible school and other such programs stated in the ad. We are supposed to be a nation that respects all relgions and separates church and state. What kind of religious education is being developed on this base? If it's Xtian fundamentalist, that leaves out other Xtian groups, Jews, Muslims, Native Americans and others who don't practice this type of religion.

Just what kind of religion IS the US government supporting with our tax dollars? is the question. The government should not be supporting ANY religion over another, including atheism.

If base families want to organize religious programs like Sunday school or Bible classes on their time with their own dollars, I've got no problem with that. But I don't want my tax dollars going to these programs.
