Over the weekend, Tom Carpenter’s Forum on the Military Chaplaincy jumped the shark when he said the Chaplain Alliance for Religious Liberty was a “Christian Supremacist Endorser” whose ideology was like ISIS.<\/p>\n

Carpenter linked to a pay-per-click\u00a0article with the grammatically awkward title “10 Ways The Ideology of ISIS And Franklin Graham Is Near-Identical<\/strong><\/a>,” written by “progressive” Christian Benjamin Corey.\u00a0\u00a0Carpenter then said<\/a> [emphasis added]:<\/p>\n

Could not much of the same criticisms<\/strong> be made of the Christian Supremacist Endorsers (ie the oxymoron Chaplains Alliance for Religious Liberty<\/strong>) and some of the chaplains they endorse<\/strong>?<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\"forumisis2\"(Hypocritical, don’t you think, that a group claiming to support religious expression<\/strong> calls another group “oxymoronic” for supporting religious expression<\/strong>?)<\/p>\n

Here are a couple of highlights from the article Carpenter recommended [emphasis added]:<\/p>\n

They both want to keep Muslims out of America<\/strong>…
\nThey are both willing to use violence <\/strong>to destroy the other…<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

For someone to say US military chaplains want to discriminate against Muslims and commit violence<\/strong> is repugnant, even for Tom Carpenter. As noted, this is coming from a group that claims<\/em> to advocate for “compassion [and] respect for others<\/a>.” Not a whole lot of compassion or respect for CALL and their Christian chaplains, is there, Tom?<\/p>\n

More to the point, the article to which Carpenter linked is internet click-tripe. Nearly half of Corey’s top 10 list is so generic anyone<\/em> is “near-identical” with ISIS (including Carpenter and his Forum on the Military Chaplaincy):<\/p>\n

They both do outrageous things on social media…
\nThey both want culture to reflect their own personal views on gender and gender roles…
\nThey are both desperate to recruit like-minded people to their cause…
\nThey both want to spread their ideology across the globe…<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Corey’s article has the intellectual depth of Sesame Street.<\/p>\n

How Carpenter managed to go from “loving his neighbor” to claiming military chaplains have “near-identical” ideology with ISIS is anyone’s guess, but heartfelt intolerance and prejudice toward Christians who do not share his worldview may be one viable explanation.<\/p>\n

It would seem Tom Carpenter and the Forum on the Military Chaplaincy are a bit more agenda-focused than he would publicly let on. In that regard, Carpenter shares characteristics with Michael “Mikey” Weinstein, who publicly claims he’s fighting a principled cause, when his true vendetta is a self-declared “war” on Christians.<\/p>\n

Perhaps the greatest hypocrisy for Carpenter, though, is the fact his<\/em> intolerance is directed toward those he believes are intolerant<\/em>. He is expressing the very characteristic he projects onto and then criticizes in others.<\/p>\n

When a non-profit group’s support for “religious liberty” translates into comparing those he doesn’t like to ISIS, any legitimacy they may have previously been able to claim evaporates.<\/p>\n
