Feds censor Christian Website
Pentagon Blocks Troops' Access to Southern Baptist Website
Pentagon leaders have blocked soldiers' access to the website
of the Southern Baptist Convention (SBC). The SBC is the largest
Protestant denomination in the United States with 16 million members,
making it the second-largest religious denomination is the entire
country after Roman Catholicism.
The SBC is also the largest evangelical Christian denomination in the world.
Starnes
reports, "An Air Force officer told Fox News that when he tried to log
on to the website he received a message that his Internet usage was
being logged and monitored for trying to access a blocked site." An Army
officer was likewise denied access, with the message, "The site you
have requested has been blocked... due to hostile content."
This example of possible censorship of religious beliefs comes
on the heels of an Army officer's email, previously reported by
Breitbart News, warning soldiers to keep a watchful eye on devout
Christians. Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel was recently pressed about the
email by Rep. Randy Forbes but provided no answers.
I guess in Obama's America the 1st amendment doesn't apply to Baptists.
