Lt. Gen. William G. Boykin, Deputy Undersecretary of Defense for Intelligence and War Fighting:

I knew my God was bigger than his. I knew that my God was a real God and his was an idol.“?!

Update It turns out that Boykin’s incapacity to distinguish his official duties from his religious beliefs was a well-known problem at the time of his appointment. When he commanded Fort Bragg, he sponsored a huge revival meeting on base, using base facilities, according to the New York Times.
