Ban Religion - are you for or against it and why?

[kılıç_mehmet]

Should the military be religious? Should it get guidance from above?

BTW, speaking of using churches as barns: You gotta love how the Ottomans used the Parthenon, eh?

It really does not change the fact that the communists have done this.
And no. The military should be nationalistic. And as such, must also respect the religion of the nation from which it's compromised from.

Mehmet, how dare you question the noble morality of the soviet military? If a uniformed man with a gun says your mosque would make a better barn, and that you belong in a gulag, he's speaking from the purest form of absolute moral authority. You are impeding his quest to perfect his mind, body, and spirit by disagreeing with him.

Oh. Now this is somewhat related to the soviet military?
I must tell you that fear was not kept within the soviet union by the red army, it was done by the police commisars, and those were the people who ordered people to be sent to gulags, and to decide which religious buildings to be demolished and used as barns.
