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.

Usama Bin Laden, Hate Me

So the world is whirling with the news concerning the death of Usama Bin Laden.  Dancing in the streets, singing the National Anthem, yelling and chanting “USA,USA”.  But is it right?

Should we the people have killed him?  “WE”  Yes, I mean we, for we all have had at the very least a minute or two of joy and relief in our hearts upon hearing the news this tyrant was put down.  We have supported, at one time or another, for one reason or another, the extreme solution to a extreme problem.

But as Christians is it right?  I will not jump for joy or dance in the streets over the death of a person… any person no matter how evil, corrupt out to kill us… Christians, Catholics, or any other religious believers or non-believers.  Us meaning Americans, British, Africans, Spaniards, or any other nationality or countries citizens.

Am I glad that Bin Laden is dead?  God forgive me, yes I am.  But I will not jump for joy or dance in the streets.

Am I proud of our military, intelligence agencies and all of the other people that support, pray for and assist these people? Yes I am.  But I will not rejoice with songs for the death of this man.

Did our President finally step up and take action? Yes and I am proud that he did.  What President Obama authorized was what a real president of the USA would do in this case.  President Obama stood up and did what was right even if it meant bad feelings with Arab countries.

The killing of Osama Bin Laden was a necessary evil.  This does not finish the problem, but it does solve a portion of it.  This solution does show that the USA will not give up or stand down with there is a threat against US or our FRIENDS.

President Obama, there is a terrorist threat.  There is terrorism and it is nice to see that your administration is using that word again.  The killing of Osama Bin Laden is just the beginning of solving a problem, so keep solving the problem, don’t stop and don’t slow down.  Don’t pretend “terrorism or terrorist” is not a word or does not relate to a problem our country has and has had for many years.

And people, do not dance in the street celebrating the death of a person.
