Onward Christian Soldiers
Click here to read and see photos of a "Mens Night Out" at a Baptist Church intended to recruit new soldiers and foment support for war, maybe against additional "targets," in the Middle East. Scroll down, and stick with it, the account is a little disjointed at first but ultimately both powerful and frightening. The author, a supporter of the war in Iraq, wrote:
"Even as I had already taken these photographs of something that I clearly know is wrong, hell we ended with “I‘m proud to be an American”, after a sermon and a combined rendition of all the services anthems. I was conflicted. I knew, and know that almost all of the people I’m depending on to bring this to light disagree with me on virtually every issue. I wasn’t going to release this unless they were recruiting. They were.
"Jesus himself only got mad once. It was because merchants were using the church to sell their wares, he flipped their tables, seized a whip, and attacked them. This day the answer to “what would Jesus do?” is grab one of the m-16s laying around and start kneecapping."
