Bibles for the troops

Full story: www.tuscaloosanews.com

TUSCALOOSA | Children at South Highlands Baptist Church are trying to make an impact on the other side of the world with their vacation Bible school this year. The group of first- to sixth-graders is sending 64 bibles to U.S. troops overseas and writing personalized notes to the soldiers. “We know there are different organizations who send Bibles to the schools, the hospitals and such. I personally do not know of another organization who sends Bibles specifically to the military,” said vacation Bible school co- director Jimmy Dockery. “LifeWay has a special where if you buy an entire crate, which is 32 Bibles, they will pay for the shipment of those Bibles overseas,” he said. “It just seemed like one of those deals that was too good to pass up.” .

ARE YOU PEOPLE SERIOUS??????????

Ask the Christian KIDDIES....how many IRAQ CHILDREN have our " SWEETHEART" forces killed? HOW MANY?

Ask the Christian Kiddies ....who would JESUS BOMB??????????

Our Troops are trained professional killers, that is what they are trained to do.....thou shall not kill......means nothing to christians, never has.

GOD does not bless a bloody ugly nation that has so much blood on its hands..OURS

God killed people right and left, he commanded Abraham to kill his son. If God didn't like killing he wouldn't have made carnivorous animals. He created an ox to tear out the innards of oxen and eat them while they are still alive. You really think he cares if we kill each other. No he doesn't, that's why he doesn't intervene. That's why innocent babies are killed everyday by drug addict moms, gay boy scout leaders rape little boys that go to summer camp and so on..

Good for you. Send lots of bibles. Maybe they will read them and become pacifist socialists like Jesus.

The commandment is "thou shall not murder", not kill.

Yes, war is a terrible thing. We need to end all wars. We need to stop all the oppression. What should be done in Iran? Darfur? Africa? Indonesia?

you are right and the fact that man has been decieved to think that war brings peace. how stupid that reasoning is. we have a day that we actually glorify war on memorial day they have partys on battle ships and honoring boats that carried war machines into other lands to destroy there land and then we turn right back around to help build up that countrys land right after we destroy it,another fact the govt of certain countrys endorse same sex marriage.but yet say god bless us how is god gonna bless something any one who allows people who lie down with the same sex and then you say god bless us god does not approve of these wars.most people who read the bible come up with there own conclusion.. and they might say even god had wars yes... but if you not only just read it research it you would see that all the wars god had excused were either for a benefit of his people or god allowed his people to be attacked for not listening to his commands. so i say to you sir you are right god does not like wars when innocent children are killed for the price of freedom we still dont have freedom we are on a constant alert of enemies so the deaths on both sides of the ocean these wars are in vain and the world will see the true god step in

Ecclesiastes 3 (New American Standard Bible)

1There is an appointed time for everything. And there is a time for every event under heaven--

2A time to give birth and a time to die;
A time to plant and a time to uproot what is planted.

3A time to kill and a time to heal;
A time to tear down and a time to build up.

4A time to weep and a time to laugh;
A time to mourn and a time to dance.

5A time to throw stones and a time to gather stones; A time to embrace and a time to shun embracing.

6A time to search and a time to give up as lost;
A time to keep and a time to throw away.

7A time to tear apart and a time to sew together;
A time to be silent and a time to speak.

8A time to love and a time to hate;
A time for war and a time for peace.

"Kill for Jesus

Kill for the Flag

Kill for God

Thou shall not kill?"

Then 99% of the world is terrorist. Killing is happening in all countries. Look at Africa, the middle east, China, etc.

You might find a few peaceful tribes hidden in the amazon rainforest or somewhere but that is not the norm for the world.

Bibles for the troops......great idea! I'm sure the troops could use something soft to wipe their asses with! That's about the extent of a bible's usefulness. They're usually too small and the pages too thin to make paper hats or boats.

But seriously, there are about a few thousand other things that would be much more useful to soldiers that a worthless bible. It seems like a empty, wasteful gesture to send them bibles.

I bet their might have been some peaceful tribes in Virginia...we killed them long ago.

The BIBLE...what a joke that is....maybe we should put them in B52's and bomb the world with them

A time to end the ROTTEN Vicious American killing in every country we choose.

A time for america to crumble into the lies and corruption it stands for

So you are opposed to people who want this book being given the book for free while they are serving their country. How does affect your personnaly that you find it necessary to post your hatred and childish comments?

Kid, I found you over in the armed service section insulting all the veterans over there. I am at a complete loss as to what happened to our society that we allow children to act like this. I wish you well in life, but I fear you are in for some rude awakenings.
