Prince Of Peace? Christian Nationalists Push Jesus As Military Leader
div class="node-media"img src="https://crooksandliars.com/files/primary_image/23/03/wtf_jesus.jpg" //divpMost Christians probably think of Jesus as the “Prince of Peace,” foretold in a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Isaiah+9%3A6amp;version=NIV"Isaiah 9:6/a, so the idea of “Jesus the military leader” might seem a bit odd—but not for Christian nationalists, particularly those involved in parachurch organizations that prey on the military. /p
pOne such individual in one such organization, a href="https://cadence.org/about-cadence/"Cadence International/a, has just been blocked from attempting to convert 112 subordinates via a mandatory military training titled, "Leadership Lessons of the Lord Jesus Christ.” Swift action by the a href="https://militaryreligiousfreedom.org/"Military Religious Freedom Foundation/a (MRFF) put an end to the attempt. But the mere fact that such a clear violation occurred is a troubling reflection of deep-seated problems which the Biden administration has done little, if anything to correct, MRFF President and CEO Mikey Weinstein told emCrooks and Liars/em. /p
p“We're just not seeing the Biden dividend,” Weinstein said, despite the fact that “Secretary of Defense, Lloyd Austen said he wanted to be—these aren't my words—he wanted to be the lodestar for racial and religious diversity in DoD.” Of course, “It's overall far better than we when we had the narcissistic, egotistical, cowardly, idiot racist as president, in Trump,” he said. “But clarity of separation of church and state, which everyone swears an oath to when they join the military? We're not seeing it.”/p
