Navy reverses Bible ban

Put the Bibles back!

A Navy spokesman confirms that Bibles will be returned to base lodges, and they’ve also launched an investigation to determine why God’s Word was removed from guest rooms in the first place.

Navy Exchange, which runs the base lodges, sent a directive out in June ordering the Bibles removed, after the Freedom From Religion Foundation filed a complaint. The atheist group alleged the books were a violation of the U.S. Constitution and amounted “to a government endorsement of that religious text.”

Navy spokesman Ryan Perry said the decision was made without their knowledge.

“In June 2014, Navy Exchange Command (NEXCOM) made a decision, without consultation of senior Navy leadership, to transfer religious materials from the Navy Lodge to the local command religious program,” Perry said in a written statement. “That decision and our religious accommodation policies with regard to the placement of religious materials are under review.”

During the review process, Perry said the “religious materials” that were removed will be returned.

The Bibles had been donated to the Navy by Gideons International, a global ministry that provides copies of the Good Book to schools, military personnel and hotels.

Tim Wildmon, of the American Family Association, called the Navy’s decision great news. He said thousands of their supporters contacted the Navy to protest the removal.

That is true.

The USA DOD has a 100% all volunteer military force.
There are no shortages of volunteers.
There is no draft or forcible enlistment requirement.

For some reason, that really disturbs Democrats, who openly claim to want to reconstitute a mandatory military draft service system.
They also want to draft their beloved illegal aliens into military service.
Since there is no shortage of very highly qualified volunteers, one wonders why “they” would want do that.

I find no major ideological differences between Democrats and Islamic terrorists.

Same as it ever was.

Donate some books of your own, ya atheist bedwetters.

Duh. Glad for the re-decision, but accountability for the initial banning would have been appropriate. Who did the initial, why? and then kicking their as* should have been done.

It is my not so tongue in cheek desire to fill a need to remove subhumans with a brigade of cleaners.

A ray of hope, a Christian Victory. Thanks be to God!

A loss for muzzie collaborator obozo..ain't that toooo bad!
Christians & Jews must fight back against muzzie collaborator obozo, must push back when he tries to destroy us and what we believe in. Good for the Navy..’bout time the military stands up to obozo, however and whenever they can, until,hopefully, they are responsible for his removal from our govt, taking his commie/socialist/marxist/muzzie collaborator pals with him. I can't understand how obozo’s military advisers can bow to and work for this traitor, this enemy of We the People, when they know full well who & what obozo is, and how he is destroying this country, all by design, and yet the military does nothing to stop him...I pray the tide chances & that they will stand up and become the Praetorian Guard who will take him out.

An investigation huh? Well, that ought to take about 5 minutes to find out where that came from. Follow the paperwork.

.
They need to feed a family and they can’t get another job that pays as well as the one they have now.

“some in his family believe he was fragged”

Yes, Christians are renowned for murdering infidels.

Oh, wait—no they’re not.

“It’s certainly not a myth.”

What in the world are you talking about?

Tell you what: you tell me where in your copy of the Constitution people are guaranteed freedom from religion, and I’ll check and see if that section is in everybody else’s.

“Solution: Draft homosexuals and atheists for mandatory military service and let them defend the country.”

If you’re going to make them front-line troops, large numbers of whom will be killed, I’m with you.

Just have regular units made up of normal people standing by.
