U.S. Navy confiscates all Bibles from Hotels on Bases

Liberal atheists have been putting forth maximum effort to remove religion from society, attacking the Ground Zero Cross, attempting to punish students for reading Bibles in school, and now attempting to remove Bibles from hotels on U.S. Navy bases.

...but what’s more comical is that the very accusation they throw at people of faith, is the very thing they themselves are guilty of by trying to force their views on others.

This is more proof that militant atheists are waging a war on Christianity in America. If you don't like the Bible, don't read it. No one's forcing you to. But don't force your godlessness on everyone else.

Hey, do you remember The Pledge of Allegiance?

Says under god, not a Christian god.

I would rather have a government hotel room have no Christian bible than bibles and religious teachings from many religions. You either allow all of them or you allow none of them.

Years ago I attended the Base Chapel. As you walked out, you saw a couple of vertical display racks full of colorful free religious brochures and paperbacks.

But I don't seem to remember any pro-atheist literature in the chapel. Which they'd have to do, if they required free Bibles in every barracks quarter, anti-evolution taught in the base school, etc.

By the way, bases have barracks, Visiting Officers Quarters, etc...not hotels. Trying not to laugh.

Pfft, I figured this was gonna happen years ago.

No, they wouldn't. However if an atheist group wanted to sponsor pro-atheist literature at these sites then that is within their rights. And as for anti-evolution in schools, don't even know what to say to that one.

how is removing a bible forcing godlessness?

Well they are atheists, so they are godless. You don't think people who go around doing stuff like this don't have an agenda in mind?

 

[RR7]

How is removing a bible FORCING godlessness on anyone?

 

[MadeFromDust]

There is a reason they are having Bibles removed, to further their godless agenda and ideology, while being hypocrites in the mean time. But you're right, you can't force someone to be an atheist. Thank God for that.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

Seems like a great business opportunity to open Christian based motels next to Navy bases. "Forget Motel 6, stay at Motel 7eaven!"

Separation of church and state?

I think hypocrisy would be them forcing their own literature into the buildings, while removing the bible. Not them creating a new policy starting from scratch, where any literature left in rooms is to be cleared with the chaplain(no, contrary to what any of the websites you hunt through are trying to say, they aren't banning bibles from the rooms). I'm sorry, I fail to see the hypocrisy. Unless the absence of literature is somehow their literature.

Great, next they will probably ban unspeakable sex acts from hotels too, fucking racists.

 

[3RA1N1AC]

And op, branch out a little, if you keep going to websites like this it will only reinforce your preconceived notions to the point that you think they are true

Separation of church and state?

Bro, that only applies to those heathen religions like Buddhism and Zoroastrianism

They could do that if they wanted to, but they don't. They just ooze with hatred towards the God of the Bible. If any other religion wanted to place their holy books in the drawers of hotels no one is stopping them, but they don't. The fact that atheists almost exclusively focus their rage on the biblical God is pretty telling to me.

Separation of church and state?

This article actually touches on that

The separation of church and state is largely misunderstood by Americans today, which has led to atheists calling for the removal of all religion from public life. This is a violation of the First Amendment. Every American has the right to exercise their beliefs, and this move by the FFRF infringes on that right.

How does taking a bible out of a hotel infringe on the rights of anyone? Is anyone being stopped from practicing and believing what they believe?

I'm not going to pretend to understand much about separation of church and state, but that quote is talking about religion and all of public life. Here the hotels are on a military base which seems to at least give the impression they are gov't hotels. I'm not saying remove all religion from public life, but anything gov't oriented should probably avoid any kind of religious bias . . . one way or the other.

 

[3RA1N1AC]

But seriously, what are the soldiers supposed to use for rolling paper now?

Why do they need to be removed?

Because giving our troops a form of hope is bad...? The Bibles are (were) there, nobody is forcing anyone to read them. But acting aggressively and then celebrating a victory when they are removed is an act of a clear agenda by militant atheists who despise God and the Christian faith, hatred towards inanimate objects that do nobody any harm but can give people comfort and hope.

 

[RR7]

Why do they need to be removed?

Sounds like they're beginning a new policy where all material needs to be approved by the on base chaplain. So they are starting from scratch, and removing any and all items in the rooms prior to this approval process. Once they're removed, the gideons can go and ask permission to put them there, or whoever.

By only having the bible, is the gov't showing preference towards a certain religion?

Yeah we'll see about that, I'm sure the same group who vouched to have them taken away will be just fine with that.

 

[3RA1N1AC]

Honestly, if I'm the type of guy that likes to sit in my hotel room and read the bible, I'd probably bring my own, just to make sure

Again, who is stopping anyone else from placing their holy books in the drawers of hotel nightstands? Would the atheists have the same issue if the book of Mormon and the Bhagvadad Gita were placed there? I seriously doubt it.

You seem to be up in arms about an aggressive act that is reported with quite a bit of spin from right leaning sites. Maybe they won't be ok with that. But you're preemptively getting upset about something yet to happen. Did you read the memo put out, or just a report from conservative tribune ?

A group of angry atheists, as if there is any other kind

Seems like the type of site that's going to just lay out all the facts and let you decide.

I would too, but the fact that they must be removed is what makes this newsworthy.
