New 'Pro-Sin' religion extremely popular in Infantry units
KANEOHE BAY, HI – The newest faith to practice aboard Marine Corps Base Hawaii doesn't meet in a chapel, a synagogue, or a mosque. In fact, it usually meets at a local strip club.
"Shots all around!" shouts Navy Lt. Eddie Moore, as he and seven other infantry Marines and sailors finished off their second bottle of Absinthe for the evening, slurping it off the Filipina hooker they'd hired.
Lt. Moore has the distinction of being the first chaplain in the entire Armed Forces to practice Khlysty (Pronounced Ca-lis-tee), a relatively unknown religion that is becoming more and more popular in many Marine Corps infantry units.
A recent poll conducted by the Marine Corps showed that as many as 17% of all infantrymen have attended at least one Khlysty service in the past three months.
