military bureaucrats under Barack Obama passed a new rule that barred loved ones from bringing Bibles to wounded soldiers.

Sounds like something Obama would do! lol Having said that, how can they deny family members from bringing a bible in to a loved one? I could understand preventing people from forcing a bible onto someone that didn't want it, but a family member?

>>I could understand preventing people from forcing a bible onto someone that didn’t want it

I don’t understand. I have a Book of Mormon that a very nice kid forced on me 25 years ago (when I was slightly nice kid). He really believed in his religion and I read the entire book and decided that I did not believe it. No harm done. Even if someone gave me a Koran, I’d take it in the spirit that it was given even though I wouldn’t read it any more than to look up passages.

On the other hand, a pushy Moonie shoved a book into my hands in an airport when I was a young sailor. I took it and he demanded $20. I tried to give it back but he wouldn’t accept it. So, he followed me all the way to my gate demanding money before I threw it in the trash.

It’s all in the spirit of how its given that matters.
