Are there anti-Boykin, anti-Evangelical in the congregation? How did this statement
become public?
"I knew that my God was a real God, and his was an idol." After the
man was captured, Boykin said he told the man, "You underestimated our
God." Gen Boykin.
It is very objectionable statement.
Yet, majority of Evangelical people believe in it.
Boykin's statement said that comment was misinterpreted. For those who have
been offended by my statements, I offer a sincere apology." How come he
can be misinterpret and offer an apology on the same time? You either wrong
or right. If somebody misinterpret you, you should never apologize, but accuse
the misinterpreter if this will bring benefit to you.
Another contradiction:
1. I am not anti-Islam or any other religion," Boykin said. "I support
the free exercise of all religions.
2. "I knew that my God was a real God, and his was an idol." After
the man was captured, Boykin said he told the man, "You underestimated
our God."
If your God is the real thing, and other god is an idol, how come you support
free exercise of all religions?
On the other hand, what a military guy do in his free time is his business.
Talking about Christianity and Islam is not his specialty. He should know how
to operate the arsenal and obey the orders from above. Being politically correct
is a job for the politician, not the soldier.
However, if he was paid by US government to talk in the churches it should
be another story.
What difference does it make to an average US citizen? High ranking official
talks nonsense about religion and after apologizes and contradicts himself?
For me, there are a lot of mess among military like in CIA, white house, congress.
They all leak and they are not sure what they are doing. Does this statement
offend Muslims? I am not muslim, but my guess, that it probably offends. I am
sure they will get over it. Another thing, that it is just another message that
a person cannot sincerely speak at home, church and with his friends. Everything
is on the record. No wonder, because we have Patriot Act in order to foster
a YES to Bush doctrine society.
Is Bush more politically correct? We will make a crusade against those military
islamists. Thanks to Christian and Jewish women for helping women of cover to
walk safety.
What will happen to Boykin?
1. He will be downsized like Trent Lott.
2. He will have the same position, and this story will be forgotten in few days.
