Atheists' Lies About U.S. Army Chaplain in Iraq
Exposed: Atheists' Lies About U.S. Army Chaplain in Iraq
Do you remember a few weeks ago when anti-religious groups were claiming that a U.S. Army chaplain serving in Iraq refused permission for soldiers to use water for bathing unless they first listened to a sermon and were baptized? It turns out, of course, that they were bearing false witness.
The office of the Chief of Chaplains conducted an informal inquiry and discovered the allegation was false, United Press International reports.
In fact, there wasn't even a shortage of water at that camp. It "was supplied with tens of thousands of gallons of water for soldiers to use," the office said. "All major water needs of the soldiers were met before the water for baptism was made available to the chaplain."
"Significantly," the chaplains' office stated, "no soldier at Camp Bushmaster has complained or commented that he was coerced in any way by the chaplain. In fact, reports are that this chaplain is always selflessly available to soldiers and that they generally respect and like him and are grateful for his presence, even if they are not of his faith."
Here's what is true: This latest deceit by the Anti-religious Left won't get a tenth of the publicity the original smear campaign did.
