The highest U.S. military court will hear the case of a Marine who was punished for refusing to remove a Bible verse from her workstation.

In May, 2013 then-Lance Cpl. Monifa Sterling kept a Bible verse on her computer in three places. The verses read "No weapon formed against me shall prosper," a modification of the Isaiah 54:17, according to the Catholic News Agency.

Ms. Sterling's staff sergeant demanded she remove the verse, but Ms. Sterling refused, saying she had the right to express her religious freedom.

The next day Ms. Sterling arrived to find the verses had been ripped down from her station. She put them up again. The cycle repeated until Ms. Sterling was court-martialed on Feb. 1, 2014.

She was convicted of disrespecting a superior commissioned officer, failing to go to an appointed place of duty, and disobeying a lawful order on four separate occasions, The Daily Caller reported.

Earlier this year, the U.S. Navy-Marine Corps Court of Criminal Appeals also sided against Ms. Sterling, saying significant damage could be caused by forcing military employees to be exposed to a religious quotation, CNA reported.

How such a situation got to the point of CM and appeals is amazing. Was there not just ONE leader in the Marine's chain of command who could have handled this situation better?Subscribe to *Religious History and Issues*

If the United States military wants to prosecute and punish a woman for firmly maintaining her right to make a simply statement about God at her desk, Americans who join now, or who serve, should understand that they are under the command of an organization that hates God. And they should not be surprised when God allows them to be slaughtered on the battlefield, because they are not his friends or his allies, and they are carrying around guns killing people.

If you are killing people and it is not in defense of life and truth, you are a murderer damned to Hell. All armed men in all armed forces which forces are opposed to God, as the military is in this case, are simply thugs who cannot expect God's protection in battle, but who can expect to roast in the Lake of Fire at final judgment for being killers without sanctuary.

That's the way it is. The US military has declared war on God. Therefore it is evil, and God will not protect it on the battlefield. And the men who fight and kill without following the rules of God, and who hate God, have nothing to look forward to but damnation and hell, because they are evil by definition.

Too bad for them. My advice nowadays: don't sign up to serve the United States in any capacity that involves carrying a gun, because the evil that your nation has become will be imputed to you because you protect and defend it.

It would be best if the Christians in the military made it very clear, en masse, that their allegiance to God and love for God is always superior to any oath they took to support and defend the Constitution, if for not other reason than that an oath before God is meaningless unless one acknowledges that the one before whom the oath is made - God - has the power to enforce the oath. If the Constitution cannot protect itself but requires men to swear before God that they will do it, then the fact there is an oath at all is an open admission of the inferiority of the Constitution before God - for God is invoked to try to keep the defenders of the Constitution on the line defending it.

If the Constitutional order has degenerated to the point that God cannot even be referred to, except in an oath, then the oath is vitiated of any meaning, other than whatever meaning that men without God can extract by imposing human punishment upon those who don't remain true to a promise made to men.

The Constitution and the nation are nothing before God, and every American soldier, sailor, airman and Marine would do very well to realize that, if forced to choose between God and the Constitution, the fact of being forced to make that choice means that the Constitution has become a tool of Satan, and should be rejected in favor of God.

This is obvious. But every lover and fearer of God in ranks should make that tacit admission to himself or herself now, in the face of these proceedings: if forced to choose between God on the one hand, and Constitution and nation on the other, the Constitution and the nation die. Without a moment's hesitation. For the fact of being forced to make the choice - that fact itself - means that the Constitution has been rendered a dishrag of the Devil.

it's disgusting ain't it? what a repulsive effrontery to God and Christians everywhere.. daily we face this.. look at any forum and you see atheists having a circle jerk about how stupid christians are and how irrational religious people are .. some even going far to say they should be killed.. im starting to have a strong dislike for a lot of secular westernist agnostics who don't value family, God, or morals.

didn't you use to be in the marines? how was it?

Give it a freaking rest,you nutcase. You are as looney as the forum Catholic if you want to claim that only Christians (mostly those from YOUR cult) are the only ones that value family or have morals.

As for valuing God,why value a fictional character? Do you also worship the Easter Bunny?

I wasn't talking to you. And Vicomte13 is one of the most rational and intelligent posters I've encountered on the internet. At least he doesn't attack anyone like a baby for having different beliefs from him.

Piss off you fedora Atheist. You think you're going to change my minds acting like a oversensitive child who gets hives thinking about people with faith? You're just wasting your time. By the way, I was talking about a particular-kind-of person. But if the shoe fits go wear that shit.

Don't reply to me anymore.
