Cadets tell Jews they are going to Hell

• Religious Intolerance

More than 90 percent of the cadets identify themselves as Christian. A cadet survey in 2003 found that half had heard religious slurs and jokes, and that many non-Christians believed Christians get special treatment.

"There were people walking up to someone, and basically they would get in a conversation and it would end with, 'If you don't believe what I believe, you are going to hell,' " Vice Commandant Col. Debra Gray said.

According to the New Testament, if you don't accept Christ as your saviour, then His death on the cross won't save you from Hell. Does telling someone this constitute harassment? If one particular individual continued to tell the same person over and over again after being asked to stop, then yes, that would be harrassment. Was this the case? It sounds pretty harmless. If they had threatened to hurt a person or kick them out of the academy then, of course, that's wrong. I'm a fundamentalist Christian and I happen to like non-believers very much. Enough to want to see them spared an eternal torment that I would rather not believe in; but accept by faith, after acknowledging that 50 percent of biblical prophecy has already been fulfilled (archeology and history have backed it up). If we cry wolf under the heading of religious intolerance too often, then how much longer will people care about discussing what is true from false?

How do you feel?

Feel free to share your feelings about Cadets tell Jews they are going to Hell. Please stick to the theme of the entry. Disagreement is fine. Homophobia, racism, and kindred expressions of hatred will be deleted. This site is one of my hobbies. I genuinely enjoy hearing from people and hate moderating or killing comments. Forthright disagreement is fine as long as it is civil.
My thanks,
Richard
