I often listen to contemporary Christian or Christian Rock music... I enjoy the upbeat lyrics and music.

So today, Matt and I were out running errands and meeting with a wedding couple, and we were listening to the local "Family Friendly" Christian Radio station, 91.9, WGTS.

This station uses recorded testimonies from listeners about how wonderful the station and the message it delivers is. One they play all the time is this mousy little woman who excitedly tells all the listeners that 'even my 3 year old daughter knows the theme music to the station!'

So we heard a spot today, that went like this... "When I was serving our country in Iraq, I showed all my Christian friends the online link to the station, and we all listened to it. So this station was lifting up the spirits of our Christian soldiers as they brought the Gospel to life through action..."

Good thing Matt was driving.. had I been, we would have hit a tree.

Now, don't get me wrong - I believe in a strong, efficient, and effective military, and I support those men and women who agree to limit their rights and choices to protect ours, often at great personal peril. My brother in law is in the Marine Corps., and I respect the choice he made to enter the military and stand a post, agreeing to listen to a moron.

However, I seemed to have missed the day in summer bible school, Jesus Camp, Watchtower tracts, and any other thing you can think of that pointed out where in the four Gospels of Jesus Christ that he said, "My brothers and sisters, lay down your ploughshares, and pick up your AR15; climb off your ass and climb into your Sherman tank; go forth to foreign nations, and bring good news to the people by emaciating nations and peoples indiscriminately, for it is pleasing in the eyes of my Father."

WTF!

Someone wasn't paying attention in school the day they taught Jesus, and it wasn't me.
