    The Pentagon has invited more than 3,500 employees to attend a Good Friday service at its in-house chapel. Except it’s only for Protestants, not Catholics.

    About 25,000 employees work at the Pentagon on any given day. So, it’s pretty obvious that not everyone was invited. The article gives no information on how employees were chosen, which is concerning. It could be officers only?

    “Just a friendly reminder: There will be a Protestant Service (No Catholic Mass) for Good Friday today at the Pentagon Chapel,” reads a Friday email sent by Air Force leadership, a copy of which was shared by an employee.

    This states that the service will not include Catholic Mass. This seems pretty standard for a non-denominational observance of Good Friday. (Though, knowing Kegseth, it will probably be an evangelical service.)

    The Pentagon Memorial Chapel is a 24-hour interfaith chapel that employees can use for prayer and reflection, and that is used for religious services.

    The Pentagon Memorial Chapel only seats 80 people. SO WHERE THE FUCK ARE THE OTHER 3,420 PEOPLE GONNA SIT?!

    All in all, some pretty shitty reporting on the part of Huff Post. Lots of unanswered questions here.

    You are correct!

    That is to say, you are right about being not right.

    At the core, Hindus and Christians basically share the same philosophy on God.

    In Christianity, God has three aspects. Jesus, The Holy Ghost and God. In Christianity, this is known as “The Trinity”. If you pray to Jesus, you are also praying to God and the Holy Spirit.

    Similarly, ancient Hindus asserted that the essence of the deities was unitary, and the deities were nothing but pluralistic manifestations of the same concept of the divine god.

    So, if a Hindi met a member of a death cult, they might think “This person is missing out SO much good stuff!” But not really - they’d probably think that Mr. Death Cult Person was a weirdo and missing the point of religion entirely.
