Some of the true modern heroes of the Christian faith are people in Islamic countries and other areas hostile to Christianity who smuggle in Bibles for believers.
Now, we may very well need that kind of spiritual heroism in our nation.
Under the new regulations issued by the U.S. Navy, "no spiritual items (and this includes Bibles, Biblical literature, and Christian artifacts) are allowed to be handed out or used in any way when visiting the Walter Reed Medical Center and the Bethesda Naval Center in Maryland, where many injured military people are getting treatments.
Outraged Republicans including U.S. Rep. Steve King, from Iowa, already are blasting this policy, which was buried in a four-page document about patient care and then highlighted by an Army officer.
"Mr. Speaker, these military personnel who are recuperating at Walter Reed and Bethesda have actually given everything they have for America!" King stated this week on the floor of the house of Representatives.
"The people who come to visit them can't bring a religious artifact? They can't bring a Bible ... A priest can't walk in with the Eucharist and offer communion to a patient who might be on their deathbed because it's prohibited in this memo from the Department of the Navy?"
This is Obama's military. And it's yet another reason why we must defeat this man in November. Our nation was founded on Biblical principles and our right to religious freedom is guaranteed by the Constitution of the United States. The free exercise clause of the First Amendment prohibits the government, in most cases, from interfering with a person's practice of their religion. The American citizens of all religions should be outraged by Obama's decision.
In closing, let me repeat my main point right here: Our country is buit on Biblical principles as well as our right to spiritual independence. This is ensured by the Constitution of the United States. Because the free exercise clause of the First Amendment to the Constitution forbids the government from interfering with a person's method of their religion within reason, we have to find a means to express our viewpoints about this brand-new policy. For instance, please consider composing letters to your congressmen, creating blog articles, creating write-ups, uploading videos on public video sharing sights, or any other imaginative, but peaceful ways, to safeguard our rights to independence of worship.
