My god is better than your god

The NYT notes that military chaplains are increasingly of an evangelical persuasion and, while they pledge to minister to "Methodist, Mormon or Muslim", many also feel entitled to "evangelize the unchurched." Combine this with increasing numbers of enlistees from minority religions and atheists, and tensions are bound to arise. Apparently, the chaplains can't help themselves from evangelizing despite job requirements to minister of soliders of all faiths. Clearly, if you're unable to perform a job according to its clearly delineated perameters, you shouldn't accept it. If you're obliged by your faith to persuade someone "to abandon his Mormon faith, telling him it was "wicked" or "Satanic."", a diverse religious environment is not for you.
