*Gasp!* Air Force cadet quotes Scripture in email! (another roll-your-eyes post)

Ohmygoodness, puh-leeeze, somebody tell me I'm reading The Onion and not a major news outlet. The Associated Press sent out a story titled Air Force cadet's e-mail cites Bible. Thankfully, it's short:

DENVER — On the eve of his graduation, the top cadet at the Air Force Academy sent out a religious-themed e-mail to thousands of fellow cadets, even as the school is grappling with complaints that some evangelical Christians are harassing others at the school.

The Associated Press obtained a copy of the e-mail sent Tuesday by Wing Commander Nicholas Jurewicz to the freshman, sophomore and junior classes — about 3,000 cadets.

Jurewicz lists his favorite quotations in the message, including several about Jesus. One quotation, "Bear one another's burdens, and so you will fulfill the law of Christ," is a biblical verse.

The academy has been under investigation because of complaints that evangelical Christians have harassed cadets who do not share their faith, in violation of the separation of church and state. Cadets have attended religious-tolerance seminars, during which they have been reminded that Air Force policy bans the use of official e-mails for personal messages.

"We will look into it, and if he violated any Air Force or academy policy we will take appropriate action ... ," academy spokesman Johnny Whitaker said.

Jurewicz declined to comment.

The results of an investigation by an Air Force task force charged with looking into the allegations of religious intolerance will be released later this month.

Yesterday, Vice President Dick Cheney told the 906 graduates they will help lead the nation to victory in the war against "freedom's enemies."

Is "Bear one another's burdens, and so you will fulfill the law of Christ" (Galatians 6:2) really so scandalous? Is there something I'm missing here?
