U.S. Navy confiscates all Bibles from Hotels on Bases

Regardless of what you believe, nothing has changed with regards as to what's true or not. And if someone expresses their right to place Bibles in a hotel room then they should be able to, free speech. But since the constitution is being trampled upon by the Vacation-in-Chief and millions of other Americans I guess this is nothing new.

 

An atheist could have placed "The God Delusion" right beside it and then it would be fair play.

 

Abolish free speech altogether? Because the military is taking bibles out of it's gov't run hotels?

 

It's not the military, it's the radical atheist group in their ear that do the same about everything with any semblance of religion or belief in this country.

 

Can't you see how full with books the nightstand would be? Nowhere convenient to put my watch or my weed.

Maybe they should all have a kindle fire loaded with every religious text known to man? Seems fair, and quite technologically advanced, the perfect melding of god and science

 

I don't think there is any issue with hotels off gov't property. It is the hotels on gov't properties that are the issue. I'm not sure if there is a constitutional issue, maybe these hotels are privately run. It just gives an appearance of mixing state and religion to me when reading this thread. I too have not read the article or know exactly what this is all about. I do think gov't should stay out of preference of religion and it should transparent.

 

Step right up! Place your bets! Which previously banned/suspended user has dusted off an old account to come back and troll us?

 

Since no other religious group have apparently stepped forward to place their text in a hotel nightstand, then it's not a problem at this point. But if you want to make a statement against something, then do your best to rebut it, not have it censored.

 

just seems like a bunch of buzz words and lame talking points from a right wing memo, geez.

Can I ask what part of the constitution is being trampled upon?

 

Wouldn't the rastafari religion already have weed in the nightstand?

Wait a minute . . maybe I am for gov't supplying religion in nightstands.

 

BTW, the last I checked they were called "barracks", not "hotels."

 

Do I need to go down the list? I thought even the democrats had abandoned Obama at this point.

 

I didn't know how for now removing bibles from navy bases was trampling on the constitution.

 

Then I suggest you read the constitution and what it gives Americans the right to do. This is a violation of the right to free speech.

 

Whose speech is being violated. If you want to put a bible in the rooms now, you ask the chaplain permission.

 

Wouldn't the more sensible solution be to require all bases to have a library with a theology section as well as Origin of the Species or Venus on the half shell?

 

With that kind of logic we can abolish just about anything we want to in America, land of the free.

 

Well if this is true and the Navy does this, I hope it gets challenged as being unconstitutional. We have a system to protect constitutional rights.
