melon said:That's fine, but Boykin is a deputy undersecretary for intelligence and an Army Lieutenant General, who, "in full dress uniform," made these comments. Since we're talking about running government like a business, do you want to know what a business would do to a man like Boykin? They'd fire his ass for abusing his professional position to push personal beliefs. What happens to policemen who wear their uniform in pornographic magazines? They get fired. What happens to people who use their work e-mail account to send off non-work related and controversial messages? They get fired. Boykin is perfectly free to believe whatever the hell he chooses, but it is not his job to make "a theological point." Leave that to ministers.

Along this line of thinking, I should be fired since I, as a non-minister, make theological points each week when I teach. Shall we examine all the statements made by non-ministers inside a church?
My guess is he was invited to speak at these churches, not abusing his position to push his personal beliefs.
