Air Force Removes Inspirational Painting With Bible Verse From Dining Hall – Atheists Found It “Repugnant”
After complaints from atheists the Air Force removed an inspirational piece of artwork proclaiming the message of Matthew 5:9 in Wagon Wheel dining hall at Mountain Home Air Force Base in Idaho.
The atheists were offended.
An inspirational painting that referenced a Bible verse has been removed from a dining hall at Mountain Home Air Force Base after an anti-religion group filed a complaint.
The painting featured a medieval crusader and referenced Matthew 5:9, “Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God.”
The Military Religious Freedom Foundation called the painting “repugnant” and an “overt display of Christian nationalism.”
They allegedly received a complaint from someone at the base who said the picture made “me feel terribly uncomfortable, disheartened and disappointed.”
“I have been extremely disturbed and shocked by a clearly Christian picture of religious supremacy very prominently hanging in the dining facility of our Air Force Base, the unidentified complainant states in an email. “I and countless other Airmen were forced to look at this ‘Crusader/USAF’ painting while we ate.”
The unidentified complainant said 21 other individuals also took issue with the painting. None were identified by the MRFF.
Wild Thing’s comment………….
I wish so much those in our military would stand up to this crap instead of caving in to it.
What happened to God and country.???

This notion that everyone who serves in the military is a “Hero” is Bovine Scatology. There are quite a few who are in our Armed Forces who have no honor as exampled by the above.

I opted out of going to OCS because of the politics that is at the heart of the officer corps. The removal of this painting at Mountain Home AFB is an example of the PC politics most officers have to practice and live with.
