Long story short, a marine had , at her desk, three bible quotations

she was told to remove it and would not

she was demoted to private, and given a bad conduct discharge,which will make employment very difficult


she has obtained legal counsel and will fight it


MY TWO CENTS: I think its a shame we live 'free' to have every form of seculare expression we wish, but that religious expression seems to be EXPRESSLY omitted from that same 'freedom of speech' protection,, especially for service members if/when they are often leaning on their religion quite often to make it through stressful and dangerous jobs. Mind you, I understand that an ENTITY should not have the appearance of supporting/opposing ones religion, but INDIVIDUALS IN their individual workspace should have just as much right to be comfortable as their secular counterparts who post their family pictures or cartoons/memes,,,




that being said, I do think she handled it incorrectly. Being an order, she needed to follow it and then PROCEED to follow up with a complaint and legal representation...however the damage would have been harder to assess in the case that she still had a job,,,

More from the linked article......

"" Berry told Fox News he believes the
additional charges against Sterling were
trumped up to cover "a conflict between her
and her supervisor."""

Methinks theres more to this incident than what we are privy to.....maybe the l/cpl was a pain in the azz for awhile, Idk
No matter.....it isnt her workspace or her computer, its the Marine Corps'.
And she had every right to wear a cross or other religious emblems, as long as they didnt conflict with the uniform of the day......notsomuch on equipment.

I think "IN GOD WE STAND" has been replaced by IN SATAN WE TRUST. Actions speak louder than voice.

On the whole, mankind is getting more and more hostile to the almighty God who created mankind and EVERYTHING that exists. Rather than obey, honor and worship his creator, man continues to turn his back on the Most High God. This manifests in various ways.

What a grave error - to turn one's back on one's creator.

Its a Spiritual battle ! God will be the final victor! But for now all of God's people will have to suffer because it will make faith and love stronger,: the eneimy of our soul will work hard to hinder the work of God : But that is all he can do is hinder and hate!

Yes, that is because the world seeks worldly knowledge. Just imagine how great it would be if as much money/time was invested into traveling into space/ect was also invested into discovering/researching God and or the history of Jesus' life through the different documentations we have. Because if we included all the scriptures that we technically have, the bible would be to heavy to carry. So why not spend the money/time on investigating these things that aren't technically in the bible itself, but has scriptural knowledge.

Even just that alone strikes my curiosity what these other scriptures say or talk about that isn't included in the scriptures of the bible. As technically the only scriptures in the bible pertain to salvation and the directly surrounding incidents. Would be interesting to read/know what the other scriptures talk about.

And more directly in response to the quote, yes the world is increasingly growing further away from God because the culture itself is.

Direct problem of course is Satan, but more directly I do believe that it is because people need a "revolution", something different, something that breaks out from the "norm". And since belief in God is put on a "religion" label, it puts it as a "lesser" of a thing it seems these days. It places it on just a "belief", (hey believe as you wish man....) ect. And people aren't naturally desiring someone to tell them what to do... so through our culture of lack of teaching our children about God, we/they grow up ALL their beginning life listening to someone(s)/believing someone(s) eg., your parents. When we/they get to adult hood, they can do what ever they wish to do... so they "rebel" unfortunately from God as it's been driven into them all their lives... now they have all power of their life as they are adults >.> so they can do what they want and church is just so boring... well hate to tell you folks, but church is suppose to be "boring", it's not for entertainment... it's for life's instructions... instructions on our very being, our very existence.
