Just one more example of the obama administrations war on religion in the military.....
"For more than a decade, new military recruits at the Maxwell Air Force Base Gunter Annex in Alabama have received a Bible from Gideons International volunteers. But that tradition has come to an end after volunteers said they were told by the military that they would no longer be allowed to personally distribute the pocket-sized Bibles to recruits.
“They kicked us out,” Gideon’s volunteer Michael Fredenburg told me in a telephone interview from his home in Montgomery, Ala. “They told us, ‘Get your Bibles out.’”
For years the Gideons have distributed Bibles to new recruits four days a week......But that changed last week, when Fredenburg said a sergeant informed the Gideons that the Bible distribution program was about to come to a end.
“I tried to get ahold of the colonel, but he would not return my call,” Fredenburg said.
So Fredenburg instructed the volunteers to continue distributing the Bibles until they received official orders. Those orders came on Wednesday.
Just like that. The Gideons were never told why.
Johnson said there is a command-wide policy regulating any organization that’s not a member of the federal government. Those organizations are referred to as non-federal entities.
“The policy says non-federal entities shall not be permitted to post or station a member within the premises of any MEPCS, including outdoor areas under the exclusive control of the MEPCS for purposes of distributing literature,” he said." FOX
Because the carnal mind is enmity against God:
Romans 8:7
