I was an ex-christian, for 10 years, I was a druid. I also explored other religions, before going back to Christianity. I left my original church, Southern Baptist, because of the blatent hypocracy and judgemental attitude of my church, not the whole SBC, just my home church. I have since learned, that Christ is the answer to so many of my problems, not addressed by other religions. I realizes that it was not christianity that I was running from, but organised religion. I see a correlation between organised religion, and hatred to others with differing religous views. Completely against the teachings of Christ. I have studied the Bible, and believe that I cannot sit in judgement of others, as I am a sinner as well. The Bible has a word for people who do. Pharisees. Though I am probably misspelling it. My beliefs are between me and God, and the only way I promote my beliefs, is through trying to Live as Christ would have me live. My only testament is through living, unless someone asks, about my beliefs. We, as christians need to quit judging others, I know very hard to do. Lead by example, not by criticizing others, or persecuting those with different beliefs. And by telling, any who ask, about the Love that Christ holds in store for them. But Not forcing it down their throat.
Here, in America, we have both Freedom of religion, and Freedom from religion. Tolerance of other beliefs, and lack of belief, is the cornerstone for this freedom. We cannot legislate Morals, or we endanger the religous freedoms we enjoy as Americans. And In my opinion, Jesus taught tolerance.

As for the married couple. If they were married, while either was on duty, then they should be punished, as military regs. require.
