Emails to MRFF from Two Kinds of Christians -- Those Asking For Our Help vs. Those Who Believe the Lies About Us

As the Senior Research Director for the Military Religious Freedom Foundation (MRFF), I read a lot of emails that come into the foundation -- emails from supporters, from people asking for our help, and, of course, from detractors.

Because the overwhelming majority of MRFF's clients are Christians, most of the emails I read from people who have come to us for help are from Christians.

The emails from detractors are also from Christians. These Christians believe the lies coming from media outlets like Fox News and breitbart.com, far-right Christian organizations, and even members of Congress that MRFF is an anti-Christian organization (despite the fact that 96% of MRFF's clients are Christians) and that MRFF's founder, Mikey Weinstein, is a militant athiest who's trying to rid the military of all Christians.

While reading my emails from yesterday, it occurred to me that the best way to illustrate the difference between these two very different kinds of Christians who contact MRFF would be to simply post the last two emails I had read. The first of these two emails was from the father of an Air Force Academy cadet who had come to MRFF for help but was afraid to talk to anyone at the Academy about the incident that led him to contact MRFF. The second email was from the other type of Christian who contacts us.
