[laughter] you can't say jesus christ." and i said, "well, let's put that aside for a while, and i'll think about that one." then they went on to some others, like, there's a point in the first act of the play where george refers to martha's father, president of the university, and says to the guests, "she is his right ball, so to speak." they objected to "ball" as a slang term, and this really, really puzzled me. they said, "however, it will be all right if you say she is his right testicle." [laughter] i said, "but that doesn't scan. the rhythm is wrong there, so we can't do that." and on and on and on and on. they said, "well, we have to come back to jesus h. christ," and i was getting a little puzzled and annoyed by that point, so i said, as a joke, "well, how about mary h. magdalene?"

christ-centered home. he jesus was loved, believed in, served and obeyed and contagious and my mother taught me to love god's word and the jesusu were called to do and that was in the. >> mike: i was going to ask you, franklin had his prodigal son days and come back and been a servant of the lord in his life. was there rebellion and ann's life when you went off the reservation? >> i did, i've always loved the lord when i was a little girl, eight or nine, i can't remember the year, the date it was good friday, and i watched cecil b demille film on t vjesus and convicted him of my sin and gave him my life as lord and from that moment forward i a have loved him. >> mike: there's irony, not come loving the lord at one of h his, but a cecil b demille. >> they use today show it every friday. easter tradition and when i got married and had three children and because of the business of life, i drifted from god. i didn't rebel against him, but he moved to the privilegery of my life and didn't have time for prayer or bible and disciplines to maintain the relationship, i knew i was saved if i died i'd go to heaven and i missed the fellow

jesus christ, the you know, abraham, and all these different biblical tones and insinuations -- and it's not just jesus christ, it's not just the bible, but there are also the teachings of a former nazi in there -- most of the complaints are also, martha, coming from christians and catholics who have been through this program. it's not from other religions. martha: doug, legitimate complaints? >> yes. martha: what about the legal basis for this? >> i have to look at why this happened. first of all this course has been there, martha, for 20 years, okay, so the first question you want to ask is what happened. what happened is a group, you know, military, religious freedom group, came in and challenged it now because they were concerned about how a hard right movement in the military that would be promoting religion. the point is this is one of the ideological hot button issues in our country with abortion, the major areas people talk about back and forth with the supreme court but this does not establish a religion and doesn't prevent the free exercise of religion so legally i think it's very weak. >> it doesn't matter if a course -- >> martha: the religious military freedom foundation that doug brings up, when something goes on like this for a very long time, there is a question of why now, why is this getting attention now and this group has brought it to the forefront, but it raises a lot of questions. you would expect, wouldn't you, tamra, if you're going to do this and have a military that encompasses people of different faiths and backgrounds, that a question of ethics i think is highly appropriate for the training of our military. but it does beg the question, should it not come from many different sources. >> well, yeah. but a deeper question is why did the military or why do top air force officials not know about the program. doug is correct that it has been going on for 20 years. that doesn't necessarily make it right, and you wonder why nobody at the very top knew about this. there are many ways that you can teach ethics and morals and war without forcing new recruits. many of whom are not highly educated, who are going into the military, teaching them things about, you know, the bible and jesus christ. there's no place for it right now. we need to look at morals and ethics, not at religion. martha: doug, what do you think? >> see martha, you can't excise every religious effort. i understand tamra's argument but the fact of the matter is you pull a dollar bill and it says in god we trust. people joke about the fact about why is that on there, should it be, and the fact is there are religious references in the course of this particular military corks but again, not to be a broken record, i don't believe that it establishes a religion, and it certainly, by the way, uses the old and new testament. i don't think that it prevents the free exercise -- you know, as i say, it's a hot button used logical debate more than anything else. martha: we're going to keep digging on this, it's an interesting debate. tamra, thank you very much, doug, always good to see you both, kind of opening the door a little discussion. we'll see what john cornyn has to say about that. bill we'll see what j
