Homeland Security Enlists Clergy to Quell Public Unrest if Martial Law Ever Declared
http://www.ksla.com/Global/story.asp?S=6937987

Dr. Durell Tuberville serves as chaplain for the Shreveport Fire Department and the Caddo Sheriff's Office

Such clergy response teams would walk a tight-rope during martial law between the demands of the government on the one side, versus the wishes of the public on the other.

For the clergy team, one of the biggest tools that they will have in helping calm the public down or to obey the law is the bible itself, specifically Romans 13. Dr. Tuberville elaborated, "because the government's established by the Lord, you know. And, that's what we believe in the Christian faith. That's what's stated in the scripture."

......I hate religion and all those mindless nitwits who rely on these fairytales to enforce their agenda.

3. I wonder if those same Christians believe that God establishes the
government when democrats are in charge. Im just sayin'.

Didn't you mean "when marshal law is declared"? I bet they are betting on it in Las Vegas.

4. I can hear them singing Mel Brooks' number
From "History of the World, Part 1:"

The Inquisition (What a show)
The Inquisition (Here we go)
We know you’re wishing that we’d go away
But the inquisition’s here and it’s here to stay

5. Why Not????
Even some SS units had chaplains, why shouldn't the American version of the Gestapo be expected to hire on collaborators pretending to preach the word of "God".
