  2. Experts say in the 1990s, 20 years after the draft ended, the #military shifted to pull disproportionately from #conservative-leaning areas of the country. Then the terrorist attacks of Sept 11, 2001, pushed ideas of #religious #war into the fore. The Air Force Academy in the 1990s & early 2000s faced investigations & #litigation over allegations that #religious #intolerance & #proselytizing were rampant.

  7. The #Army civilian, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because they fear of being punished at work or fired, said limits that used to exist around #proselytizing have evaporated under #Hegseth. The situation, the person said, is “terrifying.”

    If #troops are trained to believe that “God is on our side,” the person said, “what precludes us from doing anything we want to win? The strength of our #military is our people, & their sense of belonging to their unit & their service.”

  12. And as chair of the #JointChiefs of Staff in the late 2000s, with #troops in Iraq & Afghanistan, Navy Admiral Mike Mullen kept Mass off his public schedule, aiming to keep the particulars of his Catholic faith private.
    
But those longtime norms are being upended by the #proselytizing #Christian campaign of #Defense Sec Pete #Hegseth, say multiple former high-ranking #military officials & experts on #religion & #law.

  21. haha. Facebook reminded me of this post from two years ago. I was in a #TerryPratchett group that was being overrun with Evangelical Christian spam. I took a couple of the spam posts and photoshopped them into something more appropriate for the group.

  26. Halfway through this J.Lo sci fi romp, she discusses religion with a robot and the robot agrees there HAS to be a god. I switched to Youtube for the rest of the evening. Yuck. #atheist #atheism #goodwithoutgod #atlas #jlo #jenniferlopez #scifi #proselytizing

  30. A quotation from Hoffer, Eric:

    «
    Proselytizing is more a passionate search for something not yet found than a desire to bestow upon the world something we already have. It is a search for a final and irrefutable demonstration that our absolute truth is indeed the one and only truth. The proselytizing fanatic strengthens his own faith by converting others.

    I'm going to extend this and say avoid all #religious "#charities". You can find a #secular equivalent that isn't going to #waste half your #donation #proselytizing and the other half #discriminating.

  38. @jewterpretor these are both so context-dependant that it would be hard to say. Secular for what purposes? Depends on the #religion and the purpose, IMO.

    Is a #Christian who doesn't go to church but still believes in #Jesus Secular when it comes to #proselytizing? No. Is a #Buddhist who prays daily Secular when it comes to interactions? Depends how they identify. Is a #Jew who goes to synagogue even just weekly but doesn't believe Secular when it comes to #HateCrimes? Definitely not.
