That video of Muhammad? Made by Muslims to cause riots against Christians

September 27, 2012 by Chaplain Gordon Klingenschmitt

Sign Urgent Petition! Demand the U.S. State Department STOP funding or supporting the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt, Syria, Nigeria, and Sudan with YOUR tax dollars. Select, sign and we will fax all 535 Sens/Congress instantly.

That video of Muhammad? Made by Muslims to cause riots against Christians

A picture says a thousand words. Compare these two images:

1) An artist’s replica of the real money $1.5 Billion check sent by President Obama to the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt, to help fund the killing of Egyptian Coptic Christians. (See above)

2) The dead Christians, killed by Egypt’s Muslim Brotherhood protestors, killed with YOUR tax dollars which Obama abuses to fund the violent protestors.

These Christians were murdered with your tax dollars, by Obama’s bloody hands.

Breaking News: That “video” ABC News blamed as made by Egyptian Copt Christians here in Hollywood, depicting the false prophet Muhammad in pornographic settings? Turns out the video was likely made by Muslims who wanted to cause riots (reports Walid Shoebat here) in order to kill Egyptian Copt Christians. Is anybody surprised the major media got it wrong?

While Obama apologizes to Egypt for America being attacked, he ignores the Egyptian government’s official and systematic persecution of Christians.

An Egyptian court just sentenced a Christian teacher to six years in prison. His offense? He posted on his Facebook page a statement the court interpreted as offending the country’s president and insulting the Prophet Muhammed.

According to the state owned news agency scores of Muslims protested outside the courthouse calling the 6 year sentence as “meager.”

According to the London-based human rights group, the Barnabas group, Egyptians have witnessed an increase in brutality toward Christians. The Islamists previously constrained by Egypt’s former President Mubarak have now been emboldened by President Morsi.

The Barnabas group published a report showing under a Brotherhood controlled legislature the new reality is an Egypt where Muslim politicians call for Christians to be killed are not only increasing but have become the norm.

Some Christians have reportedly even been crucified on trees naked.

“Sadly, the Obama administration and most of the American news media ignore these latest examples of brutality and oppression in order to avoid criticism for buying into the whole Arab Spring nonsense,” said one official from the Israeli National Police.

“Instead of taking action to stop the killing and brutalizing of Christians in Muslim nations, the Obama administration points to Egypt as an example of a foreign policy success,” said the INP source.

Another report published by International Christian Concerns estimates 100,000 Christians have fled or are preparing to flee Egypt’s jihad.

Why don’t Obama and his minions care about Christian persecution?

“These are the same people who removed the term ‘God-given’ from the Democratic Party’s new Platform,” said Michael Baker, a Washington political consultant.

Let’s demand Congress take action…

Why Obama is to blame for Libya Assassination. Take action!

Appeasement, mollification, American tax-funding for mosques, and great praise for Islam. This summarizes President Obama’s foreign policy toward the “Muslim Brotherhood Spring” when rioting hoardes of Al Qaeda sympathizers overthrew secular governments in Egypt, Libya, Yemen and soon Syria, with U.S. weapons and YOUR money, to kill Christians too.

Now guess where protesters are now rioting with violence and “Death to America” rallies? In the same countries we funded radical Islam! Egypt, Libya, Yemen, (and soon Syria.)

Obama’s foreign policy has failed. Pro-Muslim funding and appeasement always fails.

He even muzzled the U.S. Marines with a “cease fire” order at the Libyan Embassy, refusing to protect American lives, and Obama wonders why on Sept 11th those Muslim hoardes killed U.S. Ambassador Christopher Stevens and 3 others?

Now Hillary’s U.S. Embassy in Cairo issued a statement blame-shifting some non-Christian Hollywood film por nographer (daring to claim he was an Egyptian Copt Christian?)

Obama’s media mis-direction does two things here: Shifts blame from Obama, and causes more violence toward Christians in Egypt. Does the Obama Administration (with major media support, i.e. ABC news) really want all Egyptian Copt Christians exterminated?

Mitt Romney called Obama out in a statement: “It’s disgraceful that the Obama Administration’s first response was not to condemn attacks on our diplomatic missions, but to sympathize with those who waged the attacks,” for which Romney was villified by the media with 20 to 1 coverage protecting Obama’s failed foreign policy.

But Obama’s pro-Islam statements and funding would never have happened under Ronald Reagan’s watch. Reagan stood up to Libya, and they got quiet really quick.

Even more disgraceful is how just a few months ago Obama gave $1.5 billion to the same Muslim Brotherhood governments to whom he just apologized!

Now Egyptian President Mohamed Morsi wants Obama to sue Americans who dare mock Muhammed. Say what?

Morsi asked the Egyptian embassy in Washington to take legal action in the United States against makers of a film attacking the Muslim Prophet Mohammad, the official state news agency said on Wednesday.

Other Muslims threaten legal action too. The Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) Secretary-General Ekmeleddin Ihsanoglu warned that “the abuse of freedom of expression” in a way that “hurt[s] the religious sentiments of Muslims” could have grave consequences.

Grave consequences if we hurt Muslim feelings? Murder to punish free speech? Obama is a domestic enemy of the Constitution if he mollifies such radical Islam any further.

Sir Winston Churchill summed it up best: “How dreadful are the curses which Mohammedanism lays on its votaries! Besides the fanatical frenzy, which is as dangerous in a man as hydrophobia [rabies] in a dog, there is this fearful fatalistic apathy….No stronger retrograde force exists in the world. Far from being moribund, Mohammedanism is a militant and proselytizing faith. It has already spread throughout Central Africa, raising fearless warriors at every step; and were it not that Christianity is sheltered in the strong arms of science…the civilization of modern Europe might fall, as fell the civilization of ancient Rome.”

Let’s demand Congress DE-FUND THE MUSLIM BROTHERHOOD. Why send American tax-dollars to violent Muslims who kill Americans and Christians? Please sign our petition.

Obama’s CIA gives weapons for Muslim Brotherhood to kill Christians in Syria

The New York Times is reporting that President Obama’s Central Intelligence Agency is sending “weapons, including automatic rifles, rocket-propelled grenades, ammunition and some antitank weapons, are being funneled mostly across the Turkish border by way of a shadowy network of intermediaries including Syria’s Muslim Brotherhood.”

What does the Muslim Brotherhood in Syria do with American weapons? Kill Christians.

The Boston Globe is reporting “Christians, who make up about 10 percent of Syria’s population, say they are particularly vulnerable to the violence sweeping the country of 22 million people…the rebels want to keep the Christians trapped in the city as a bargaining chip while the army’s bombardment and ground attacks on the city intensify. Syrian Christians have largely stuck by President Bashar Assad, fearing the strength of Muslim hard-liners in the uprising against his rule.”

While our CIA gives weapons to Muslim terrorists to kill Christians, relief agencies are working to evacuate the Christians to safety. “Father Michel Noman, who is trying to mediate a safe passage for the Christians, wrote on a Facebook page dedicated to Hamidiyeh, that the people trapped in the area are tired. I tell them all, there are people who have been working to get you out. We will keep trying 20 more times and 30 more times in order to rescue those human beings,” Noman said.

Huh? Your tax dollars are weaponizing the Muslim Brotherhood to kill Christians in Syria!

According to the Vatican news agency the Christians in the rebel held town of Qusair gave Christians were given an “ultimatum” ordering all Christians out of the city. Almost 10,000 Christians were forced to abandon their homes and business and flee for their lives.

The Vatican reports rebel groups are filled with extremist Islamist groups who “consider Christians ‘infidels,’ confiscate goods, commit brief executions, and are ready to start a ‘sectarian war.’ If Assad falls from power (as Obama says he wants) then “Christians would almost certainly be marginalized and, worst yet, persecuted for their beliefs.”

Even U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton warns “religious civil war as a reason not to arm the rebel fighters last month.” But Obama’s CIA apparently disagrees with Hillary.

Washington Post reports the Muslim Brotherhood holds the biggest number of seats in the Syrian National Council (the rebels). The Brotherhood has absolute control over the “relief committee,” who distributes American aid and money, only to the Christian-killing rebels. [That money also buys weapons.]

Our $1.5 Billion grant to the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt is also funding an “on going ethnic cleansing of Christians,” with connections to Al Queda, according to persecution.org.

LET’S DEMAND CONGRESS STOP THE OBAMA FUNDED MUSLIM BROTHERHOOD.

Obama gave $1.5B to help Muslim Brotherhood win Egypt election. Take action, free!

Egypt held their big election between Mohammed Morsi, head of the Muslim Brotherhood (who has vowed to eradicate Christians), and Ahmed Shafiq, the secularist who served Hosni Mubarak (and may protect Copt Christians, if elected).

Guess which one President Obama endorsed?

The Washington Post reports “The White House, perhaps surprisingly, thinks a Morsi victory would be the best for Egypt’s economic transition though it would raise some prickly foreign policy issues.” If the Muslim Brotherhood leader is elected Obama vows to pay Egypt millions more [to persecute Christians], but if the secularist wins Obama fears oppression [of rioting Muslims who hate democracy and demand their right to kill Christians.] No kidding, Obama’s foreign policy is to play favorites for Muslims, against Christians.

This year President Obama hosted the Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood at the White House. Obama also gave the Muslim Brotherhood $1.5 Billion of your tax dollars, according to National Review. This money gives clear insight into Obama’s biased pro-Muslim agenda. Obama didn’t spend $1.5 billion on Americans, or defending religious freedom overseas, rather he gave it to the Muslim Brotherhood, who has given hundreds of millions to Hamas and terrorists. Obama is now openly anti-Christian, anti-Israel, and anti-Women.

Muhammad Morsi, the Muslim Brotherhood candidate, declared that ALL CHRISTIANS in Egypt must convert to Islam or pay a special Christian tax called the jizya, and those who don’t “convert or pay tribute” to Islam will be forced out of the country. When asked what he thought of Egyptian Christians he said “They need to know that conquest is coming, and Egypt will be Islamic, and that they must pay jizya or emigrate.”

Islamic Conquest is at the center of Morsi’s beliefs. Morsi told an interviewer that Amr ibn al As (who conquered Egypt in 641 A.D.) was the first Islamic conquer and that “The second Muslim conqueror will the be Muhammad Morsi and history would record it.”

The Muslim Brotherhood now persecute Christians and Jews in Egypt, Nigeria, Sudan, and Syria, but their goal is to conquer Jerusalem. Why do our tax-dollars fund terrorists?

Let’s take action now, and STOP FUNDING ISLAM WITH OUR TAX-DOLLARS…please sign either our fax petition OR our free petition, below.

In January 2012 the Muslim Brotherhood told Obama and the rest of the world that they would NOT recognize Israel and hinted they would hold a public referendum on whether to declare war on Israel. The deputy chief of the Muslim Brotherhood Rashad al-Bayoumi told London’s Al-Hayat newspaper “We weren’t party to the peace treaty, it was signed away from the Egyptian people and thus the people must have a say.”

On the issue of recognizing Israel al-Bayoumi said Israel was an “occupying entity and we will not allow anyone of our members to meet Israeli,” continuing, “I wont allow myself to meet with a criminal and there’s no chance that we’ll cooperate with Israel.” The fact that Obama gives $1.5 billion to an anti-Semitic organization should come as to no surprise after all Obama has stated he believes that Palestine should be a recognized nation.

Talk about Obama’s war on women? His administration complains that Republicans, Catholics, and Evangelicals resist being forced to hand out free abortion pills in Christian Hospitals. But Obama himself funds the terrorist Brotherhood whose political platform is to impose Sharia Law on the women of Egypt.

The level of hypocrisy and shameless lying that Obama has adopted is beyond comprehension. Obama who is trying to scare woman into thinking that evil Christians want to force woman into a life of forced pregnancy is in fact paying terrorists to degrade and oppress woman.

Sharia Law reduces women to personal property that can be bought, sold, and abused at will. USA Today reports the Brotherhood is already subjecting woman to virginity tests.

Not only is Obama funding this with your tax dollars, he does so without the consent of Congress. Congress told Obama to halt military aid to Egypt until it is certified that basic freedom and human rights are available to all its citizens. But Secretary of State Hillary Clinton announced that “President Obama will resume funding Egypt’s military, despite Congressional restrictions and objections from rights and democracy advocates.”

I guess Obama was not kidding when he said “where Congress is not willing to act, we’re going to go ahead and do it ourselves.” Even the far left Sen. Patrick J. Leahy (D-VT) said “I believe [sending the aid] would be a mistake. The new [restrictions were] intended to put the United States squarely on the side of the Egyptian people who seek a civilian government that respects fundamental freedoms and rule of law, and clearly define the terms of our future relations with the Egyptian military.”

Let’s tell Congress to save the lives of Christians, protect Israel and protect women from abuse! Stop Obama from giving your money to sworn enemies of America and Christians.

Free Petition to Bill O'Reilly: STOP helping violent homosexuals kill Christians

August 24, 2012 by Chaplain Gordon Klingenschmitt

NEW FREE PETITION!  Demand FOX NEWS and Bill O’Reilly stop inviting anti-Christian hater Wayne Besen who speaks for hateful Southern Poverty Law Center to appear on TV. (Select here to send your free letter to FOX to stop helping violent homosexuals.)

Free Petition to Bill O’Reilly:  STOP helping violent homosexuals kill Christians

Remember the violent homosexual gunman Floyd Corkins who shot a security guard at Family Research Council (FRC) last week, carrying 15 bags of Chick-Fil-A, because he didn’t like their politics or defense of traditional marriage = 1 man + 1 woman?

Sadly Bill O’Reilly at Fox News is helping the gunman’s associates.  O’Reilly regularly invites Wayne Besen to appear on his show to defend the Southern Poverty Law Center, who was just rebuked by the Washington Post for rhetoric facilitating Corkins’ violence.

I just joined 20 Christian leaders to sign a free petition to Bill O’Reilly to stop helping violence.  Now you can sign the petition too. It’s free, select here.

Why is the homosexual activist Wayne Besen who speaks for SPLC still a regular on the Fox TV show The O’Reilly Factor?  (You may remember I debated Besen who humiliated himself about science and homosexual exorcisms, here.)

Besen runs the deceptive homosexual activist group “Truth Wins Out” but he also regularly defends the hateful Southern Poverty Law Center who was blamed for causing violence. FRC President Tony Perkins said “Corkins was given a license to shoot an unarmed man by organizations like the Southern Poverty Law Center that have been reckless in labeling organization hate groups because they disagree with them on public policy.”

WND.com confirms today that Dr. Chaps joined 15 (now 20) pro-family organizations to sign a request to Fox News talk show host Bill O’Reilly to stop using homosexual activist Wayne Besen as a commentator on his program.  “The group’s letter explains that Besen, who founded the pro-homosexual Truth Wins Out, has gone so far in his activities to oppose the traditional family supporters that in 2009 he used a bullhorn to harass Christians inside a Boston church.”  Clearly Besen hates Christians enough to disrupt their Sunday worship, so why is he still getting on O’Reilly?

Let’s take a stand by petitioning Bill O’Reilly to STOP inviting Wayne Besen and SPLC.

15 groups to O'Reilly: Drop 'gay' radical

August 24, 2012 by Chaplain Gordon Klingenschmitt

Individuals representing a wide range of pro-family organizations have signed a request to Fox News talk show host Bill O’Reilly to stop using homosexual activist Wayne Besen as a commentator on his program.

“When Fox News provides a forum to a radical homosexual activist known for employing inflammatory and hateful language in the service of promoting lies, the network becomes complicit in the damage done to the victims of Wayne Besen’s and the SPLC’s smear campaigns,” said the statement signed today by Mathew D. Staver of Liberty Counsel, Oklahoma State Rep. Sally Kern, Diane Gramley of the American Family Association of Pennsylvania and others.

“We ask the News Corporation, Fox News, and Bill O’Reilly to find more ethical spokespersons for the liberal view of sexuality. In their infamous Washington Post ad accusing FRC of hateful values, Besen and the SPLC claim that ‘words have consequences.’ Yes, they do. And Besen’s may lead to violence,” the statement said.

Others signing included David Smith of the Illinois Family Institute, Laurie Higgins of Illinois Family Institute, Matt Barber of Liberty Counsel Action, Denise Shick of Help 4 Families, Regina Griggs of Friends of Ex-Gays & Gays (PFOX), Arthur Goldberg of Jews Offering New Alternatives for Healing, Greg Quinlan of Pro-Family Network of Ohio, Pastor John Kirkwood of Grace Gospel Fellowship, Brian Camenker of MassResistance, Peter LaBarbera of AFTAH, Scott Lively of Defend the Family International, Chaplain Gordon James Klingenschmitt of The Pray In Jesus Name Project and Linda Harvey of Mission America.

The group’s letter explains that Besen, who founded the pro-homosexual Truth Wins Out, has gone so far in his activities to oppose the traditional family supporters that in 2009 he used a bullhorn to harass Christians inside a Boston church.

Besen, meanwhile, posted a statement on his website regarding the letter.

[PLEASE SIGN OUR PETITION AT CONSERVATIVE ACTION ALERTS AND SEND YOUR FREE LETTERS TO FOX NEWS AND BILL O’REILLY HERE.]

“I have never been more proud of my career accomplishments than I am today. It has been said that the friends and foes accrued over a lifetime can be used as a measure of the man. Given the coalition of homophobes and hate groups that viciously attacked me today, I feel my life’s work has been vindicated and validated.”

Besen then went down the list of signers, explaining why each one would hate him. Regarding LaBarbera, for example, he said, “He’s angry because I dubbed him ‘Porno Pete’ – a nickname that has stuck and defined his bizarre advocacy.”

The letter cited the very real danger evidenced by a shooting last week at the Family Research Council in Washington, a pro-family organization that apparently was targeted by the gunman for, in his own words, the group’s “politics.”

The shooter, who has been charged for the attack, apparently volunteered as a homosexual community center. But the FRC previously had been labeled as a “hate group” by the pro-homosexual Southern Poverty Law Center.

The letter calls Besen a homosexual agitator.

“Last week Fox News reported that Tony Perkins, FRC’s president, blamed the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) and its rhetoric of hateful lies against FRC for helping to create a climate that led to shooter Floyd Corkins’ actions,” the letter said. “The SPLC and Wayne Besen are united in demonizing conservative organizations and individuals. Despite repeated complaints about Besen’s appearances, producers of the ‘O’Reilly Factor’ continue to feature Besen, a radical homosexual activist aligned with the SPLC, as a guest commentator.”

The signers noted Besen has publicly labeled conservative speakers as “certifiable lunatics with dangerous agendas.” And they said Besen was part of a recent Washington Post ad falsely blaming FRC for homosexuals being more like to be targeted by hate crimes.

They said Besen and SPLC “are now filing complaints against therapists who counsel homosexuals with unwanted same-sex attractions, thereby denying gays the right of therapeutic self-determination.”

“It is time that the O’Reilly Factor cease using Besen as a guest commentator. Providing Besen with a forum lends credibility to his pernicious tactics and enables Besen to exploit his appearances for fundraising purposes,” the wrote.

Besen said his perspective was being attacked “Because I have consistently challenged their propaganda campaigns, exposed their lies, publicly taken them to task, helped undermine the so-called ‘ex-gay’ myth that they promote, and even destroyed some of their careers. If anything the level of vitriol they displayed highlights the effectiveness of Truth Wins Out and our ability to strategically frustrate the goals of our adversaries.”

The family groups, however, said Besen’s claims that former homosexuals are not entitled to the same rights and respect given homosexuals puts him beyond the pale.

Bill O'Reilly ignores repeated requests to drop SPLC's Wayne Besen from show

August 23, 2012 by Chaplain Gordon Klingenschmitt

REEDVILLE, Va., Aug. 23, 2012 /Christian Newswire/ — In light of last week’s attempted murder of employees at the Family Research Council (FRC), we pro-family organizations ask Fox News to discontinue guest appearances by homosexual agitator Wayne Besen on the popular O’Reilly Factor TV show.  Besen has a long history of slandering conservative groups and the ex-gay community in language that foments hatred and undermines civil discourse.Last week Fox News reported that Tony Perkins, FRC’s president, blamed the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) and its rhetoric of hateful lies against FRC for helping to create a climate that led to shooter Floyd Corkins’ actions.

The SPLC and Wayne Besen are united in demonizing conservative organizations and individuals.  Despite repeated complaints about Besen’s appearances, producers of the O’Reilly Factor continue to feature Besen, a radical homosexual activist aligned with the SPLC, as a guest commentator.

Last year the controversial Besen and his SPLC ally jointly staged a protest outside of FRC’s Values Voters conference, falsely accusing FRC and the American Family Association of hatred and lies.  Besen publicly labeled FRC’s conservative speakers as “certifiable lunatics with dangerous agendas.”  Both Besen and the SPLC took out an ad in the Washington Post falsely blaming FRC for gays being more likely “to be victimized by violent hate crimes” and “driven to suicide by relentless bullying.”

Besen and the SPLC also target the ex-gay community, claiming that former homosexuals are a “myth” and that ex-gays are not entitled to the same rights and respect that gays currently enjoy.  In a bizarre move, Besen and SPLC are now filing complaints against therapists who counsel homosexuals with unwanted same-sex attractions, thereby denying gays the right of therapeutic self-determination.

Condemnation of the SPLC’s — and by extension Wayne Besen’s — designation of pro-family groups as “hate groups” comes from both the political Right and Left. Rich Lowry of National Review wrote, “The SPLC’s promiscuous labeling of organizations it disagrees with as ‘hate groups’ came to the fore last week when someone tried to shoot up one of its targets.”

[PLEASE SIGN OUR PETITION AT CONSERVATIVE ACTION ALERTS AND SEND YOUR FREE LETTERS TO FOX NEWS AND BILL O’REILLY HERE.]

And liberal journalist Dana Milbank echoed Lowry’s criticism: “[T]he Southern Poverty Law Center should stop listing a mainstream Christian advocacy group alongside neo-Nazis and Klansmen.”

It is time that the O’Reilly Factor cease using Besen as a guest commentator. Providing Besen with a forum lends credibility to his pernicious tactics and enables Besen to exploit his appearances for fundraising purposes.

When Fox News provides a forum to a radical homosexual activist known for employing inflammatory and hateful language in the service of promoting lies, the network becomes complicit in the damage done to the victims of Wayne Besen’s and the SPLC’s smear campaigns.

We ask the News Corporation, Fox News, and Bill O’Reilly to find more ethical spokespersons for the liberal view of sexuality.  In their infamous Washington Post ad accusing FRC of hateful values, Besen and the SPLC claim that “words have consequences.”  Yes, they do.  And Besen’s may lead to violence.

Military Atheist Group Offers 'Alternative to Church' at Academies

July 18, 2012 by Chaplain Gordon Klingenschmitt

The Military Association of Atheists and Freethinkers is offering “alternatives to church” programs and meetings during summer training at U.S. military academies in an attempt to gain official recognition for similar secular programs during the school year.

“Having summer programs available at each Academy for the second year in a row is a big step forward in creating a more welcoming command religious climate in the military,” stated MAAF president Jason Torpy on Monday.

“This is recognition of nontheists that we should expect from the Academies in the future. It is a credit to the senior cadets and local volunteers that this has happened, and it is encouraging and appropriate that the military leaders have recognized the atheists in their ranks after not having done so for so many decades,” Torpy wrote in the group’s blog, “Atheists in Foxholes News.”

Although cadets and midshipmen have the opportunity to meet in humanist and secular alternative programs during summer training as do faith groups, Torpy questions whether the academies will give “equal support to atheists, humanists, and other nontheists” during the academic year.

The MAAF has been attempting to gain official status within the U.S. military for atheist and humanist groups for several years by saying there is a religious diversity problem.

Chaplain (Col.) Ron Crews, executive director for the Chaplain Alliance for Religious Liberty, said the problem with groups such as Torpy’s organization is that they want to have chaplains with no religious affiliation.

“People of no faith, or those who hold humanist views have constitutional rights as well as believers,” Crews told The Christian Post. “It is fine that they can meet and have their ‘non-worship’ events. However, these same groups are also asking to have ‘chaplains’ from their non-faith perspectives to be allowed on active duty. I believe this is inconsistent with what chaplains are about.

“The military can provide counselors to meet these needs. The very purpose of chaplains is to provide for the spiritual needs of those they serve. One cannot provide for spiritual needs without acknowledging there is a spiritual dimension,” he said.

Chaplain Gordon James Klingenschmitt, a former Navy chaplain with a 16-year military career, said he sees another motive behind MAAF’s campaign. He told CP earlier this year that this call for diversity is really an attempt by atheists to terminate Christian chaplains.

“If they had their way all chaplains would be fired. But the courts have decided our troops have a first amendment right to be accompanied by a chaplain who represents their faith, so the atheists must attempt another method,” Klingenschmitt said.

When asked on Monday for a response to the MAAF’s summer campaign, he said, “I think it’s sad how atheists are using a government forum and resources to openly recruit Christian cadets into atheism or secular humanism. What should Christian parents think, when their 18-year-old son or daughter is promised donuts, but gets a lecture about ‘letting go of God’ and proselytizing into rejecting their parents’ faith? Atheists define themselves by what they are against (God), not by any good they stand for. But the Bible says ‘the fool says in his heart, there is no God.'”

Torpy previously told CP that “the point is not to have equal diversity. It’s to have equal treatment of diverse groups. The first step is education, or more specifically, acceptance.”

At the Naval Academy, the local Unitarian Universalist Humanists support Midshipmen trainees who are interested in their group, offering “Doughnuts, Downtime, and DVDs,” Sunday mornings, according to Torpy. Last Sunday, 40 trainees attended for support and fellowship, he said.

“The lack of official recognition during the academic year continues to be problematic, and we hope that in the upcoming year, the Academies will do the right thing and extend support to the USAFA Freethinkers, Naval Academy Freethinkers and Atheists, the West Point Secular Student Alliance, and the Coast Guard Academy Secular Student Alliance,” he states. “The national Secular Student Alliance and MAAF have filled in to give support.” A series of reports on the cadet and midshipmen activities and the need for official recognition has also been offered, he said.

Torpy adds, “Each of these groups of cadets deserves to have the opportunity to meet, have access to cadet funding and fundraising, and to have approved trip sections just as Christians, Jews, and even sports teams do.”

Congress Appeals DOMA to Supreme Court

July 13, 2012 by Chaplain Gordon Klingenschmitt

Let us pray. Almighty God, we pray You overturn the First Circuit Court of Appeals in Boston who rejected the Defense of Marriage Act, which defines marriage as being between one man and one woman. We thank You that Congress is now appealing to the Supreme Court to defend traditional marriage. Your Word says, “In the image of God He created him; male and female, He created them” (Gen. 1:27). In defense of righteousness, marriage, families, and a strong society, we pray that the Supreme Court will uphold this institution of marriage as You created it, in Jesus’ name. Amen.

Obama wants $1 Billion more IRS funds to Enforce Obamacare

July 12, 2012 by Chaplain Gordon Klingenschmitt

Let us pray. Almighty God, we pray that the U.S. House of Representatives will succeed in its attempt to prevent the IRS from acquiring funding to implement the new healthcare law. Your Word says, “The borrower becomes the lender’s slave” (Prov. 22:7). We pray that You will guide our legislators toward the discovery of a new healthcare plan that can ensure that people receive medical care, while ensuring that we do not violate Your principles of financial freedom in the process. Deliver our nation from our bondage to and reliance on debt, in Jesus’ name. Amen.

Third-Grader Permitted to Invite Classmates to Bible Club

July 11, 2012 by Chaplain Gordon Klingenschmitt

Let us pray. Almighty God, we thank You that a third-grader in Texas will now be permitted to pass out invitations to a Bible club meeting, despite being previously forbidden from doing so by his teacher. Your Word says, “Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these” (Matt. 19:14). We are also grateful that the teachers in this school will now receive mandatory training on the importance of allowing their students to pass out religious literature, in Jesus’ name. Amen.

Arizona Pastor Jailed for Backyard Church

July 10, 2012 by Chaplain Gordon Klingenschmitt

Let us pray. Almighty God, we pray that you will grant favor and wisdom to Pastor Michael Salman in Phoenix who was fined, jailed, and placed on probation for building a church and holding private church services in his backyard. Your Word says, “Blessed are the peacemakers for they will be called children of God” (Matt. 5:9). We pray that you will protect his clear conscience and freedom to worship while helping him to live at peace with the governing officials. We pray You will stop the oppressive government from punishing religious freedom, in Jesus’ name. Amen.
