    Absolutely nothing wrong with this.

    Bible thumpers can bring their own bibles if they feel the need to re-read scriptures.

    While I agree that it is most likely the constitutional thing to do, to remove bibles from hotel rooms on our governments military bases, I just wish it was not pushed forward my athiest groups. Now if the soldiers were given bibles to put in their footlocker, I'd have a bigger problem. But as it stands, it's just not an important enough action to widen the gap between the religious and non-religious. It just seems like it's so far on the periphery of what matters, why do anything this irrelevant that is going bother the friends and family of so many of the people who serve our nation.

    Now don't get me wrong, I think removing the Bibles is the constitutional thing to do. But it just seems petty.

    It seems to me that it's an activist position to remove the bibles. Leaving them there would have really been the best thing to do. If someone wants to deposit a Koran, The Book of Mormon or even The God Delusion in these rooms, I would have zero problem with it.

    How about if groups want to put Mein Kamph on every barracks bed? There are plenty who want to, and have money.

    Do you remember Flag Day June 14, 1954, when the words "under God" were added, pretty much destroying the whole point of a Pledge of Allegiance. :sigh:
