Air Force Revises Guidelines on Religion
By ROBERT WELLER, Associated Press Writer
DENVER -
The Air Force released new guidelines for religious expression
Thursday that no longer caution top officers about promoting their
personal religious views.
The revisions were welcomed by conservative Christians, who said the
previous rules was too strict and lobbied the White House to change
them.
Critics called the revisions a step backward and said they do nothing
to protect the rights of most airmen.
The original guidelines were created after allegations that
evangelical Christians at the Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs
were imposing their views on others.
Some Christian chaplains were accused of telling cadets to warn
nonbelievers they would go to hell if they were not born-again
Christians.
The guidelines were described as interim, with no date set for their
ratification.
They were endorsed by The National Conference on Ministry to the Armed
Forces, which represents 200 groups.
The revised guidelines say nothing should be understood to limit the
substance of voluntary discussions of religion where it is reasonably
clear that the discussions are personal, not official, and can be
reasonably free of potential coercion.
They also omit a statement in the earlier version that chaplains
"should respect the rights of others to their own religious beliefs,
including the right to hold no beliefs."

The Aiforce Acadamy is in Colorado Springs, a real hotbed
for christianity. So ponder this insanity, they believe that if
they crash their jets and die, they will go to heaven. The 911
hijackers had similar beliefs.

This makes PERFECT sense: who better to bomb women, children,
infants, and dottering elderly from 30,000 feet, than Christians?

Freedom of speech kicks in.
