The American Sniper Claims Another Victim
March 18, 2015
A Christian chaplain at MidAmerica Nazarene University has been fired for preaching peace and pointing out the American culture of violence. The mistake he made was in negatively referring to the American Sniper movie. One complaint was that he had insulted Christians who served in the military. Good. Perhaps it will cause some of them to think about what they are doing in Caesar’s army.
This chaplain stood up for what is right. Reminds me of Joseph Judson Taylor.
