Air Force Bibles?Why is the United States Air Force
sponsoring a evangelical Memorial Day event?
Normally this would rate a "so what?" from me. But then
I caught this bit. Emphasis added.
Holman Bible Outreach International will distribute thousands of military Bibles at the largest Memorial Day Weekend event in the Atlanta area, which expects to draw around 100,000 people. The event – sponsored by LifeWay Christian Resources, United States Air Force, Task Force Patriot USA, General Motors and others – will take place May 26-28 at the popular Atlanta theme park Stone Mountain Park to honor active duty and veteran U.S. troops and their families. During the weekend, Holman Bible Outreach International (HBOI) plans to introduce its new paperback Holman CSB Military Bible and give away 3,000 copies of it to veterans and others during the weekend celebration. What private individuals and groups do is none of my business unless they hurt someone. The United States Air Force is another matter. By law, the military can not be involved in evangelism, nor can it promote any faith over another. I want to know who approved this. I know of Pagan Air Force vets who faced discrimination. It doesn't help that the Air Force Academy is in Colorado Springs, Colorado. There have been rumors for years that there is a evangelical bias in the Air Force. This certainly doesn't look good.
