Military Religious Freedom Foundation Says
Bible Frightened Air Force Personnel
Air
Force Major Steve Lewis, a supervisor at the Reserve National Security Space
Institute at Peterson Air Force Base in Colorado Springs, is in trouble. The
Military Religious Freedom Foundation is demanding that he be “aggressively
punished” for having an open Bible on his desk.
“It
(the Bible) is very obviously a statement of Christian preference, Christian
primacy,” MRFF founder Mikey Weinstein told Todd Starnes of Fox News. “Had that
been the Book of Satan or the Koran there would be blood in the freaking
streets.”
Mikey,
you are exactly wrong… on both counts. There is blood in the “freaking” streets, largely because of radical Islamists. Yet we treat the Koran’s of even
suspected (or known!) terrorists with kid gloves, by literally wearing white
gloves so as to protect and respect them. The slightest inferred insult to
Islam or Mohammed is often met with an outbreak of horrific violence, whereas
Christianity is openly, gleefully, mocked in every way, shape and form by
Hollywood, the “artistic” community (remember “Piss Christ?”), academia and the
mainstream media. It is nearly impossible to find an American television show
or movie that doesn’t feature the taking of the Lord’s name in vain on multiple
occasions. Christian’s reaction to
this continual onslaught of sacrilege? None.
Therein
lies the real problem, Mikey. That
some are even seriously upset that the Book
of Satan may not be afforded the same respect as the Bible is proof
positive of the rapid degradation of society. Heaven versus Hell? Good versus
evil? People in a sane society are not supposed to be unbiased between these
concepts. That’s kind of the whole
point, Mikey.
Mr.
Weinstein went on to accuse Maj. Lewis of “harboring and encouraging a truly
abhorrent example of First Amendment civil rights violations.” One doesn’t
“harbor” an example, Mikey. Nor does one “encourage” an example, but, improper
language usage aside, your point is not well taken. In fact it’s ludicrous.
Forcing Maj. Lewis to remove his
Bible from his desk would be a violation of his First Amendment rights. You
see, the Constitution and the Bill of Rights were put in place to put strict
limits on what the government could force its citizens to do, not to limit
its citizen’s freedoms in an attempt to ensure no one ever risked being
offended. Progressives always attempt to turn this fact inside out, as they do with
most other ones, as well. Mr. Weinstein, overbearing fraud that he is, fervently
wishes to take away Maj. Lewis’
religious freedom.
Weinstein
claims he received complaints from 33- unnamed- Air Force personnel, stating,
”We have 33 very scared Air Force families.” Really? “Very scared?!” Of a Bible on a desk? If that is true, how would they be
able to fight ISIS or other enemies of the United States?
If that
is true, that is truly scary.

(After
this was written, the air force ruled it will “allow” Major Lewis to keep his
Bible on his desk, “If he wishes.”).
