Preparation for Torture

Since I'm not member of any religious group, Jew, Christian, Muslim, Hindu, Buddhist, etc., I would not attend "spiritual Fitness Concerts" either, unless by direct written order. Then I would sleep through it. This is especially true of evangelical Christian acts. I have attended these rarely to be cordial, but they are my idea of boring torture. 'Save the lord' for allowing me the rapture of sleep during the performances. Don't get your pants in a bunch about this, though. I also managed to sleep through a recent revival stage production of "The Crucible."

Charles Oliver from the December 2010 issue:

The U.S. Army is investigating claims that 80 to 100 soldiers at Fort Eustis in Newport News, Virginia, were confined to their barracks after they declined to attend a concert by a Christian band. The concert was part of the “Commanding General’s Spiritual Fitness Concerts” series, which featured only evangelical Christian acts.
