Gay’ Flag Flies Over Afghan Base While Cross Removed From Army Chapel and Atheist Rally Sponsored on Military Base
The U.S. military hosted an event over the weekend for soldiers and others who don’t believe in God. It was called “Rock Beyond Belief.” A so-called ‘gay’ flag flew over a U.S. military base in Afghanistan last week. Last year, the Obama Administration banned the Christian cross from a worship tent in Afghanistan. The cross was considered to be offensive.“The U.S. Army has removed a cross that was prominently placed on the front of a chapel located at the remote base of Camp Marmal in Northern Afghanistan. . . . [O]fficials said that having a permanent sectarian image on the chapel violated army regulations. . . . One soldier referred to the decision and the regulation behind it as ‘a direct attack against Christianity and Judaism.’”
This isn’t the first time Christianity has been an issue in Afghanistan. Bibles translated into Afghan languages were sent to a U.S. soldier at a base in Afghanistan. They were deemed to be offensive to the Muslim population. And a ‘gay’ flag isn’t? Here’s how CNN reported the story in 2009:
Military personnel threw away, and ultimately burned, confiscated Bibles that were printed in the two most common Afghan languages amid concern they would be used to try to convert Afghans, a Defense Department spokesman said Tuesday.
The unsolicited Bibles sent by a church in the United States were confiscated about a year ago at Bagram Air Base in Afghanistan because military rules forbid troops of any religion from proselytizing while deployed there, Lt. Col. Mark Wright said.
Such religious outreach can endanger American troops and civilians in the devoutly Muslim nation, Wright said.
So it’s OK to blow up stuff and shoot and kill Afghans, but it’s illegal to share the gospel with them. We have traded bullets for the “gospel of peace” (Eph. 6:15).
America has been compromising its Christian heritage with Islamic nations for more than two centuries. It didn’t work then, and it’s not going to work now. Europe abandoned its Christian heritage long ago in the name of religious pluralism, adopted secularism as a state religion, and if demographic reports are accurate will be Islamic in less than 50 years. Playing the neutrality game is having an impact, and it’s not a good one. “Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, this he will also reap” (Gal. 6:7).

I'm outraged that "any" flag would be flown over a US military base other than the American flag, old glory!
A "gay" flag is also representing the American people, when was the vote for this change of flags representing our country?
"WE", as in "WE THE PEOPLE OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA", DID NOT TRADE BULLETS FOR THE "GOSPEL OF PEACE", NOR DID WE WANT TO KILL INNOCENT AFGHANS OR INNOCENT ANYONE ELSE!!! IT IS THE EVIL POWERS THAT BE AND THEIR MINIONS! THE PEOPLE OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA ARE PEACEFUL AND LOVING PEOPLE AND WE BELIEVE IN FREEDOM OF RELIGION KNOWING THAT WE ARE A CHRISTIAN JUDAO NATION
Might I add, we are too civilized to get upset over colors or flags or symbols.
My offspring would not know it was a 'gay flag' until I told her. It would just be a piece of cloth flying in the wind until that time and then I could pass my beliefs (indoctrinated) over to her about what is 'gay' and what a 'flag' should mean and where it is appropriate to fly such a flag and where it is inappropriate to fly such a flag.
In other words, while trying to progress her, I'll digress her to old ways, beliefs, and controls.
I'm not doing it.
It's a piece of cloth.
It represents whatever you want it to. If some want it to represent 'gay', then so be it, if others want it to represent something else, then so be it.
No more wars over conflicts that 'don't matter'.
God does not change no matter what language a bible is written in or what flag is flown, or what is or is not hanging over a church.
Really.
To wake up means to question everything.
Decide.
Is it really important enough to keep the low level vibrations of hate and fear and separation?
If so, when the separation occurs, those of higher vibration will not have to hear it anymore and those of lower vibrations can discuss this over and over ad infinitum.
(Discuss it from womb to tomb and for all eternity and beyond)
Yes, we can be "fence sitters" and not keep the level of vibrations turned up, but are our opinions important? Not so, says The Great I Am.
"The ways of a man seem righteous, but the ends thereof are death." In other words, what we think is fair and just, He does not tolerate.
Or here is another good one about our opinions vs. HIS. "Be thou hot or cold or I will spew thee out of my mouth." We are expected to take a stand for good, not be wishy-washy and tolerant of evil.
Last..."In vain do they worship me, keeping for commandments the doctrines of man." In other words, WE don't decide what to live by or what is acceptable. We are to live by every word of God and He says that homosexuality is an abomination.

Judge not. Period. That's basic. All this self righteous talk of good and bad and right and wrong are nonsense. Religion teaches separation and God has unconditional love. You find it in Genesis 1. No issues it was all Good. Go look. Everything was Good. Opposites and similars. All good.
Only Genesis 2 introduced all the judgement. If you'd open your eyes, you'd see most people associate with the creation of Genesis 2 and that Man. There was a man created in Genesis 1.
This is a time that we choose which LORD you will serve and follow. The God of Genesis one. Everything created is perfect or the LORD God of Genesis 2.
Everything is not as dramatic as it seems. Everyone is not as wrong as you think.
If someone put chemicals in the water or in immunizations to make a man feminine do you judge his masculinity or do you let the Creator sort all that out.
Leave judgement to the one who will be just, or you will find yourself on a side of the gavel you didn't know you could end up on.
Why do poeple always drap the "Judao" into it. It should be CHRISTIAN full stop. Do you know what the Judaics beleive. Researce the Talmud and see that it is majorly anti-Christian.
Anon.@ 12:09...you need to read the rest of the story, like all the way to the end in the Book of Revelation. How long have you stayed on Gen. 1? You are a good example of what Anon. 10:38 was referring to since YOU have decided what is important, what is good, and what is evil! Furthermore, there is nothing judgmental involved in what was stated, only quotes from The Bible. YOU are the one being judgmental. Surely it can't be that God's Word offends you!
Anon 8:25pm (Anon 12:09 here)
Nothing offends me. I happen to know when I come across people spouting off what they were taught rather than what they know. You appear to be doing the same, to think that to disagree with someone's judgment that homosexuality is an abomination is somehow evidence I didn't read the rest of what someone had written when I responded to them, and to think that I say 'judge not. Period' is some sort of evidentiary proof I stopped at Genesis 1 or Genesis 2.
To thy own self be true.
There is no one to save nor judge.
Eventually, you'll know who I AM. (And that's not ego, it's the truth)
Eventually you will know why I said what I said and what it meant.
The bible is a unique document. For some it explains how one is to live from womb to tomb, although they choose which aspects to accept and reject.
Christ spoke of pretending to love Him and you can't even love your brother who is among you.
You will learn what judge not means when it comes to someone judging you. You created it, you will live with it.
If you take the time to learn who you are, you'd not spend your time on this nonsense, but then again we are all at different levels of spiritual growth on many levels.
I know what you don't know by your response to me. I know what Anon 10:38 knows by the response to someone's lifestyle.
Seek and ye shall find. You will learn why judgment should not occur at our level. We know not the Divine Plan. We didn't create anyone's soul contract.
We are NOT their God. We are them.
If you saw Inception, there was some truth surrounded by distortion in that piece of fiction.
The answers for why you should not judge anyone are all around you.
No worries. The separation of the vibrations is occurring now. Anyone acting as a God and Judging another will not be raising their vibrations by staying in that energy level. Your choice. The road to Hell is paved with good intentions.
It always has been your choice to be like that.
In order for us to live our life according to our Will and not another's will and not another's religion's will, we will have to be separated from those who offend us and we offend.
If thy right eye offends thee, cut it out.
We will be separated so like minds can think alike and judge alike.
The truth, "unconditional love", shall set the rest of us free.
No harm, no foul.
FOOD FOR THOUGHT:
TO THE "JUDEO/CHRISTIAN" MINDSET
IN THE BEGINNING, WHEN MAN WAS CREATED IN THE IMAGE OF GOD, WAS HE JEWISH OR WAS HE CHRISTIAN??????
USE YOUR GOD-GIVEN MIND, NOT THE MISGUIDED TEACHINGS OF MAN!
I AM THAT I AM
