The military isn't privatised but the members religious beliefs are, I think people tend to forget that. One of the rights one does not give up when entering military service is their right to freedom of religion........and no one has the right to say you can't enjoy secular entertainment.

Who NEEDS specific Christian entertainment?

Yes - - the military needs breaks from the mundane and mental stress. But they DO NOT NEED specifically Christian entertainment.

That is nothing but an Excuse.

So in your "opinion" those so inclined aren't entitled to nonsecular entertainment.......so very nice of you to decide what they need or want. You have nothing but an opinion.......as do I. I'm not interested in a big long drawn out debate about opinions.......you have a tendency to attack anything remotely Christian, or having to do with the military, based upon your opinions.......so in keeping with your agenda, you have your opinion, I have mine, have a good night.

NO - - they DO NOT NEED specifically Christian entertainment. That's ridiculous.

No one is stopping them from going to church or worshiping or having entertainment in church.

This is Fort Bragg - - in North Carolina - - where there is probably a Christian church on Every Corner. Since I live near a military base - - I know they are not currently on Lock Down.

YOU are making it about Christianity - - Not me. I'm a supporter of ZERO religion in government - - that includes Pagans - Luciferians - Mormons - - etc.

So, as you admitted, you don't like it. They don't "need" nonsecular entertainment, nor do they "need" the USO, or are you aginst that too. Just because you don't like something, or agree with it, doesn't allow you to dictate policy for the rest of the world. Just because you dislike all religions and the military doesn't make this any different...be careful, I think your agenda is showing...........

sec·u·lar adj \ˈse-kyə-lər\
Definition of SECULAR

1
a : of or relating to the worldly or temporal
b : not overtly or specifically religious
c : not ecclesiastical or clerical

Meaning, secular entertainment = non religious entertainment. Which is what was meant when the Justice said, "a secular legislative purpose".

You are attempting to put words in my mouth - - and change the meaning of what I posted.

Don't do that.

Where did I say I do not like Spiritual music?

I always get Secular and Nonsecular mixed up. I should always look it up.

Secular means separated religiously.
So nonsecular would be something that doesn't separate people according to religion.

Thank you.

I didn't change the meaning of what you said..........you are attempting to justify what you said.......you have an agenda on here as evidenced by many of your posts, here and in other threads, nothing wrong with it, alot of people do. However stating your opinion as a basis to deny someone is just ridiculous.......last comment on this, have a good night, see you on another thread I'm sure.
