Cross removed from US military chapel in Afghanistan

Sometimes, you have to read it to believe it. Yet another example of state sponsored secular humanism and the religion of egalitarianism as a supported ideology by our government. And we are told and scolded that the state cannot condone or support any religion.

Yet that is precisely what the US government is doing on a regular basis. Under the color and cover of egalitarian fairness and tolerance, our rights as Americans citizens are being subjugated and destroyed on the alter Secular Atheism called for and demanded by socialist egalitarianism. 


Army Removes Cross From Camp Marmal Chapel in Afghanistan ...

Some U.S. servicemen are up in arms after a large cross was removed from outside a chapel on a military base in northern Afghanistan. The base, called Camp Marmal, is German and hosts NATO forces. The chapel in question is an interfaith house of worship that is overseen by the U.S. Army.

Soldiers say that they felt comfort as a result of having the cross visible from the outside of the chapel. In an e-mail to Politico, one serviceman said, “Sometimes the Church and the ability to openly express religious views ultimately gets people through the deployments over here.”

According to this particular soldier, when he asked a chaplain what had happened to the cross, he was told that it needed to be taken down. The faith leader, however, didn’t share any additional information on the matter.

“We are here away from our families, and the chapel is the one place that feels like home,” added another service member. “With the cross on the outside, it is a constant reminder for all of us that Jesus is here for us.”

“Not having it there is really upsetting,” a serviceman explained. “I walk by the chapel daily on the way to chow and the gym, and seeing the cross is a daily reminder of my faith and what Jesus accomplished for me. It is daily inspiration and motivation for me to acknowledge my faith and stay on the right path.”
