Removing Bibles?

So it has been reported and confirmed, the United States Navy Exchange Command has removed the bibles from the Navy Lodge.  That’s right, next time you are there, do not expect to open that night stand and see the Good Book.

The Freedom From Religion Foundation (FFRF) filed a complaint with the Navy Exchange regarding bibles in the lodging facilities.  As it has in the past the FFRF are trying to bully their views on other people, organizations, companies, and government agencies or affiliations.  Unfortunately, the Navy Exchange Command made a decision to remove the Bible from the Navy Lodge rooms.

We have seen on the news of late, one instant and another of Christians being persecuted throughout the world.  In Iraq, Christian women and children on a hillside surrounded by religious persecutors;  Iran is holding hundreds of Christians in jails for the only reason these people are Christians.  Where is the FFRF in these instants?  Obviously not yelling and screaming for religious or anti-religious reasons but how about for reasons of humanity.  Yet, if it was non-believers or devout atheists, they would be yelling and screaming, begging for help to rescue these individuals.  Why not now?  Because, the FFRF is performing a type of religious persecuting here in the United States as other religions are doing around the world.

Gideons International provided – donated copies of the Bible to the Navy Exchange to be put in the lodging facilities.  Gideon International also provides the Bible to schools and to hotels free of charge.  The Navy Exchange did not pay for these Books.  If other organizations provided – donated the Koran, the Book of Mormon, the Tipitaka or any other religion’s sacred book, I am sure most if not all hotels, schools and military establishments would offer the books the same as they do for the Holy Bible.

FFRF is against all religious books?  When why have they not gone after the removal of all religious books, texts and symbols as they have done against Christians?

I hope not only do all Christians, but all religious people call the United States Navy Exchange and file a complaint about the removal of the Holy Bible from their lodging facilities.  It won’t stop with just the Christian; the persecution will continue until atheism becomes the bases for the only religion allowed to exist without persecution.

Stand up for your rights, stand up for other’s rights, just because you may not agree with their religion, you at least should be protecting the right called: Freedom of Religion.
