'Idolatrous' Baptist Bibles for U.S. Military?
NOTE: I may not be the sharpest knife in the drawer, but I really don't see what all the fuss is about. The Word of God is being presented and that's the important part.
The 16 million member Southern Baptist Convention is publishing military Bibles for various branches of the U.S. armed forces, to the horror of left-wing bloggers, who fear the Bibles advocate an “idolatrous” American nationalism.
A division of the Southern Baptists’ Lifeway Christian Resources has released “The Soldier’s Bible,” “The Marine’s Bible,” ‘The Sailor’s Bible,” “The Airman’s Bible and “The Coast Guard Bible.”
Blissfully indifferent to political incorrectness, the Bibles include the Battle Hymn of the Republic, the pledge of allegiance, prayers from George Washington and George Patton, and testimonies from former airman Jimmy Stewart and former Marine Oliver North, among others. The covers of the Bibles bear the insignia of the various service branches.
