Bill Maher on Christian evangelicals in Iraq and Afghnistan
The Christian Embassy recruits high ranking officers. It appears to have similar goals to The Family headed by Doug Coe. The Family operates the C Street Facility that many right wing Washington politicians such as Senator John Ensign live in.
In public, The Family hosts Prayer Breakfasts; in private, they preach a gospel of "biblical capitalism," military might, and American empire. Citing Hitler, Lenin, and Mao as leadership models. The Family's current leader, Doug Coe, declares, "We work with power where we can, build new power where we can't."
Doug Coe advocates that Christian leaders are special people who don't have to follow the rules. He uses the example of King David who stole his general's wife and then had the general assassinated. To Coe such actions are permissible for thee 'special Christians.'
After King David took Batsheva,the general's wife, Nathan the prophet told him: "For so says God: behold I will raise up evil against you from your house." (I Samuel 12:11)
Immediately afterwards and for the rest of his reign, David was afflicted with a succession of intrigues, scandals and rebellions from within the royal household itself.
The Family philosophy, which has no Biblical basis, could explain why Washington Republican leaders think they are above, the law.
George W. Bush is alleged to have said "Stop throwing the Constitution in my face," Bush screamed back. "It's just a goddamned piece of paper!"
Rightardia was not able to find a link between the Christian Embassy and The Family. Both organizations want followers in high places. Obviously if senior military leaders buy into Christian evangelical ideas, they will look the other way when the evangelicals are recruiting or violating the First Amendment in the Armed Services.
