It took some work but I managed to get through Leo Sandy’s letter to the editor in the Sun on Friday. He takes on religion in the military with this diatribe and mentions “I pretend no great knowledge of religion”, which is made clear by the words he writes.

Leo states, “Here is a supposed man of God praying for the death and destruction of other human beings. This is as absurd as something can get and it certainly makes a very strong case for atheism.” 

If he had the slightest knowledge of religion he would realize that God has fought wars against evil to the beginning of time. God throwing Satan and his followers out of heaven was a battle in this war against evil. His descriptions of what religion and the military should be sound very much like what communist Russia thought in the 40’s and 50’s.
