A U.S. Air Force chaplain who ministers to thousands of men and women at an Ohio base is asserting that Christians in the U.S. Armed Forces “serve Satan” and are “grossly in error” if they support service members' right to practice other faiths.
The Chaplin, Captain Sonny Hernandez, wrote an article for a website called BarbWire.com, in which he condemned Christian service members for relying on the Constitution “and not Christ.”
Of course American service men and women take an oath to uphold the Constitution, NOT the Bible.
But that did not seem to matter to this guy:
He wrote: “Counterfeit Christians in the Armed forces will appeal to the Constitution, and not Christ, and they have no local church home—which means they have no accountability for their souls (Heb. 13:17). This is why so many professing Christian service members will say: We ‘support everyone’s right’ to practice their faith regardless if they worship a god different from ours because the Constitution protects this right.”
Hernandez continued: “Christian service members who openly profess and support the rights of Muslims, Buddhists, and all other anti-Christian worldviews to practice their religions—because the language in the Constitution permits—are grossly in error, and deceived.”
Apparently there have been a number of complaints against Hernandez in the past but no real action has been taken as of yet.
However now he has come to the attention of the Military Religious Freedom Foundation. And its founder Mikey Weinstein has a theory about what it going on:
"America’s military members look to the president for direction and inspiration," Weinstein said. "Trump’s statements and actions have fully endorsed and validated this unbridled tidal wave of fundamentalist Christian persecution, which is now more inextricably intertwined into the very fabric of our Department of Defense than ever before."
The organization says that the number of complaints they receive has doubled since Trump took office, and that seems to reflect the increased racism and rejection of non-Christian religions that we have noticed all across the nation.
This is of course only the beginning. Things are definitely only going to get worse from here.
