Re: Troups in Afghanistan handing out local language bibles
Since this is clearly against "the rules", it shouldn't take long before orders come down to cease and desist. Especially once the Afghans raise a shit-storm over it.

Well, that's going to win a lot of hearts and minds, ain't it? Jeezus fucking christ on a pogo stick. That's like recruiting for the KKK at an ACLU convention.

You simply would not believe it would you. Do they have the vaguest fucking clue why most of the Islamic world hate us!

"You can take the boy out of the country, but you can't take the country out of the boy." Some hick has made a high enough grade to make this happen. Since he's on a mission from God regulations will have to backseat, or so he thinks.

Re: Troups in Afghanistan handing out local language bibles
Is there a local language translation of the god delusion? Surely giving that out to the mad bastards that would be more prodictive 
Outside the ordered universe is that amorphous blight of nethermost confusion which blasphemes and bubbles at the center of all infinity—the boundless daemon sultan Azathoth, whose name no lips dare speak aloud, and who gnaws hungrily in inconceivable, unlighted chambers beyond time and space amidst the muffled, maddening beating of vile drums and the thin monotonous whine of accursed flutes.

Certainly over at RDF, here it may have been part of a wider conversation.

If so I missed it.Gawdzilla wrote:I think this was already discussed here, wasn't it?
The thread title should have had a "?" at the end. Here is another video that also gives some claims and counter claims, including the US military's position that the bibles were not solicited and were never actually distributed.
