US Military Destroys Bibles. Anti-Christ Obama Is Pleased.
Edited on Wed May-06-09 09:08 AM by Ian David
If you’re someone who keeps up with evangelical (PC for fundamentalist) websites, you undoubtedly read about the U.S. military destroying Bibles in Afghanistan. A sure sign we’re living in the, End Times, and that Obama is the Anti-Christ.




Two days after September 11, 2001, Ann Coulter wrote an article entitled, This Is War. In it she said, “We should invade their countries, kill their leaders and convert them to Christianity.” If you agree with this statement, and believe the US Military should “convert” the heathens, then read no further. For everyone else, how about some facts?

First, here’s some highlights from a Reuters article:

U.S. Central Command’s General Order Number 1 forbids troops on active duty — including all those based in Iraq and Afghanistan — from trying to convert people to another religion.

“I can now confirm that the Bibles shown on Al Jazeera’s clip were, in fact, collected by the chaplains and later destroyed. They were never distributed,” spokeswoman Major Jennifer Willis said at Bagram air base, north of Kabul.

Trying to convert Muslims to another faith is a crime in Afghanistan. An Afghan man who converted to Christianity was sentenced to death for apostasy in 2006 but was allowed to leave the country after an international uproar.

Second, Here’s the aforementioned Al Jazeera video:

3. I want a sticker that says, "If it Ain't Thomas Jefferson, It Ain't Bible."
Jefferson Bible
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Jefferson Bible, or The Life and Morals of Jesus of Nazareth as it is formally titled, was Thomas Jefferson's effort to extract the doctrine of Jesus by removing sections of the New Testament containing supernatural aspects as well as perceived misinterpretations he believed had been added by the Four Evangelists.<1><2>

4. When I was in college, a professor told me that
someone had told him, "If the King James Bible was good enough for Jesus Christ, it's good enough for me."

6. It seems like it could almost be classified as a mental disorder.
It's a frickin *book*... a book written by tribesmen... a book that'd already been heavily edited several times before then, at that.

:crazy:

7. Because they're stupid. There can be no other reason.
I think they all ought to be forced to learn Greek, Aramaic and Latin so they can read all the versions that are closer to the original. Some of that shit might shock them....!
