    This is more proof that militant atheists are waging a war on Christianity in America. If you don't like the Bible, don't read it. No one's forcing you to. But don't force your godlessness on everyone else.

    Says under god, not a Christian god.

    I would rather have a government hotel room have no Christian bible than bibles and religious teachings from many religions. You either allow all of them or you allow none of them.

    Years ago I attended the Base Chapel. As you walked out, you saw a couple of vertical display racks full of colorful free religious brochures and paperbacks.

    But I don't seem to remember any pro-atheist literature in the chapel. Which they'd have to do, if they required free Bibles in every barracks quarter, anti-evolution taught in the base school, etc.

    By the way, bases have barracks, Visiting Officers Quarters, etc...not hotels. Trying not to laugh.

    No, they wouldn't. However if an atheist group wanted to sponsor pro-atheist literature at these sites then that is within their rights. And as for anti-evolution in schools, don't even know what to say to that one.

    Well they are atheists, so they are godless. You don't think people who go around doing stuff like this don't have an agenda in mind?

    There is a reason they are having Bibles removed, to further their godless agenda and ideology, while being hypocrites in the mean time. But you're right, you can't force someone to be an atheist. Thank God for that.

    Seems like a great business opportunity to open Christian based motels next to Navy bases. "Forget Motel 6, stay at Motel 7eaven!"

    I think hypocrisy would be them forcing their own literature into the buildings, while removing the bible. Not them creating a new policy starting from scratch, where any literature left in rooms is to be cleared with the chaplain(no, contrary to what any of the websites you hunt through are trying to say, they aren't banning bibles from the rooms). I'm sorry, I fail to see the hypocrisy. Unless the absence of literature is somehow their literature.

    And op, branch out a little, if you keep going to websites like this it will only reinforce your preconceived notions to the point that you think they are true

    They could do that if they wanted to, but they don't. They just ooze with hatred towards the God of the Bible. If any other religion wanted to place their holy books in the drawers of hotels no one is stopping them, but they don't. The fact that atheists almost exclusively focus their rage on the biblical God is pretty telling to me.

    How does taking a bible out of a hotel infringe on the rights of anyone? Is anyone being stopped from practicing and believing what they believe?

    I'm not going to pretend to understand much about separation of church and state, but that quote is talking about religion and all of public life. Here the hotels are on a military base which seems to at least give the impression they are gov't hotels. I'm not saying remove all religion from public life, but anything gov't oriented should probably avoid any kind of religious bias . . . one way or the other.
