Mr. mm read through the bill and there’s some comment in there about participants not being allowed to participate in worship services during their time of service.

I’ve been looking for that and haven’t found exactly where it is yet. I’ll ask him if he can find it again.

Stalin’s “camps” started out as work camps building infrastructure, bridges and roads. Then they added criminal troublemakers, and after that, religious “dissenters” and those who disagreed with Stalins economics and politics.
It all starts out so innocent, boiling lobsters. There is no religion in Communism other than itself

And get this: these people bristle at religious people going about doing the work that we do and now they want us to stop it and do altruistic deeds that suit them. they are forcing their secular religious morality on us, but, as usual, see nothing wrong with it
