MRFF Demands Removal of Bible and Christian Nationalist Poster Created by U.S. Navy Historian from Buffalo VAMC POW/MIA Table Display

Published On: July 29, 2024|Categories: Featured News|21 Comments|
Screen shot of article heading on official Navy historian website for article titled The POW MIA table a place setting for one a table for all with the word all crossed out and the words christians only inserted

A group of 11 veterans of various religions (including two Christians) and no religion has sought MRFF’s help to get a Christian Bible and a poster depicting a Christian Bible removed from the POW/MIA table display at the Buffalo, New York, VA Medical Center.

The offending poster, showing a Bible with a large Christian cross as one of the table’s items, was created by the U.S. Navy’s official Naval History and Heritage Command and explains the presence of the Bible on the table in the language of Christian nationalism:

“The Bible represents faith in a higher power and the pledge to our country, founded as one nation under God.”

But that’s not the worst part of the poster. That distinction goes to the tag line under the title “The POW/MIA Table,” which says:

“A Place Setting For One, A Table For All”

No, U.S. Navy historian, a POW/MIA table with a Christian Bible on it is most certainly NOT “A Table For All”

    Believing in the Bible makes you a Christian. Reading it makes you an atheist!

    Amen to that, Synergy!

    “The Bible represents faith in a higher power?” Faith being belief without evidence.

    In the Christian and Jewish cases, the “higher power” knocks up the 12 year old virgin wife of another man, against his own Commandments, to give himself a sacrifice to himself for the redemption of his own creation. Although, “sacrifice” is inappropriate in terms of what he orchestrated for himself before ascending back into Heaven, all planned if you believe the story. He never “died,” it was just a downtime weekend! A little break from walking on water and feeding the masses with a couple of fish and a few loves of bread.

    The concept of original sin, for which the God-in-human-form was redemptively given, a moot point given that we’re all descendants of Noah’s family of eight, if you believe the story. Given the timeline, and the building of the pyramids, Noah’s family were busy little beavers given 9 month gestations for re-populating the Earth in time to do anything, much less build pyramids!

    This country was NOT founded as “one nation under God!” A 1953 invention under Eisenhower to counter the perceived Soviet Communist Godless threat!

    Not a mention of “God” in the Constitution, the treaty of Tripoli clearing spelling out that the U.S. was NOT founded as a Christian nation.

    A Bible on the POW/MIA table a later addition and one NOT representative of the diversity in our military.

    Quite frankly, I’d be happy with only Christians being allowed to serve in the military. Let them go fight the fucking wars they start!

    Religion – you can’t start a war without it!

    An all powerful Christian God could have prevented the need for a POW/MIA table. But there’s lots of things the Christian God observes from afar without intervention, like watching little kids being raped by the clergy!

    Trump gets his ear nicked and the MAGA crowd deems it a God given miracle that he wasn’t killed. They say it was Divine intervention that saved Trump.

    If that’s true, God sure does hate him some firefighters!

    Many leaving Christianity. I wonder why.

    Dark Brandon baited the MAGATS and they swallowed it hook, line, and sinker!

    And now they’re crying like babies that got their pacifiers taken from them!

    Too funny watching them implode.

    “It’s not fair,” says shitsinpants. Awwww, the poor baby! “Does Donny need his diaper changed?” “Did you do another poo poo in your pants?” “Where’s JD?” “JD, come get Donnie cleaned up again. Get him hosed off. We’ve got a meeting with Cat Ladies in one hour. And bring some air freshener with you!”

    Shitsinpants and ShitsinVance – what a ticket!

    Trump & Vance – Bigots On The Ballot!

    As a member of a Gold Star Family I am outraged. My father’s brother was MIA in Papau New Guinea and later declared dead. I did not know him as I was born 7 years later. My father and many of my uncles fought in WWII.
    This show of white nationalism is a disgrace and the perpetrator should be severely disciplined.

  7. Synergy July 31, 2024 at 11:01 am

    Bigots on the ballot.

    One very old and slurring his words, major cognitive decline, thinks a boat’s direct current battery might electrocute him. No Donnie, but stick the coil lead in your mouth and have someone crank the engine! Surprise!

    And the Maga Morons believe him! Themselves cognitively challenged having been home-schooled skipping the sciences because, you know, dinosaurs on the Ark!

    Stupidity defined – should be a one word definition – MAGA!

    While Schittsinpants drifts off into darkness, his second in Command, James Dullard, a Hindu-centric couch lover, waiting in the wings having been given the keys to Donnie’s toy fire trucks, “vroom, vroom, can I blow the horn?” All he has to do is wait it out as Donnie continues his path to slapping imaginary flies, locked in a padded room, rolled out every now and then for a photo op until the time is right.

    All SchitsinVance has to do is hold off having sex with couches until he gets in!

    There is a but though. SchittsinVance has to keep himself from being replaced by dog- killer Kristi Noem, Trump’s “buyers remorse” setting in between moments of fleeting cognition, more of a rarity now, “the late great Hannibal Lector,” his fictional world an open reality now as he mumbles incoherently at his rallies!

    Bigots on the ballot, one in serious cognitive decline, his diaper changes more frequent now in his state of Post Lunch Leakage, odor control his handler’s number one issue as they trot him out on parade.

    Put the diaper-boy in a padded cell where he can be looked after properly, so he doesn’t hurt himself. Give him a couple of fire trucks to play with and maybe one of those Fire Chief hats. He’ll be happy and so will the rest of the country!

    MAGA – Show Them The Door In 24!

    Project 2025 is a Schittsinpants Debacle 2024!

    Blue Wave coming in November.

    Pack the court, one Supreme Court judge per district (13), with term limits, end the filibuster, Universal Healthcare, no payroll cap on Social Security, minimum Corporate Tax, reduction of the 850 overseas military bases, reduction of military spending (DOD has never passed an audit, can’t even tell you where the money went), judicial reform – no more private prison industrial complex, elimination of all nuclear weapons, increase teacher pay, no more stripping of public education money to pay for private religious schools, a guest-worker tax- paying program, allowing Medicare to negotiate drug prices, aligning of military disability payments with ability to work, taxation of American companies on world-wide income (much the same as we tax individuals – “Corporations are people too”), 18 year term limits for members of Congress, the disconnection of Corporate CEO pay with stock performance, increase in the capital gains rate, mandatory worker participation on company boards, incentives for green energy, elimination of trade barriers and tariffs (that the American consumer pays for), increased vocational education, retraining programs as AI assumes a bigger role in employment (the alternative is Universal Basic Income), legislation for a woman’s right to choose, and increased mental illness funding and gun control. You can have as many guns as you want but, in my world, I’d damn sure know who you are and what you’re doing with those guns! Mandatory gun owner insurance. Registration of all firearms.

    It’s funny how registration of a firearm is Government intrusion while a gun owner freely gives information about himself to Google and Facebook! Google knows more about you than you know about yourself! And you voluntarily give your personal info to Google!

    Get rid of the MAGATS and let’s get this country, and the world, on track to a better tomorrow! MAGAdonia dystopia is not what you want to leave for your children and grandchildren, Republicans already pushing the planet toward an unrecoverable extinction event, one that will destroy ALL life! The earth becomes Venus!

    Forget Trump’s “windmills” cause cancer lies, and focus on how you’re gonna get treatment for yourself if you or a loved one, God forbid, does get cancer!

    You deserve better. Get rid of the pricks!

    Your time has come ladies! Be all you can be!

    Let’s make it a Blue Wave Tsunami in November! VOTE and get out the Vote!

    Pee and Jdjd: Why don’t you guys stop embarrassing yourselves and go back to 8chan where you fit in? You’re proving nothing except that you can repeat a bunch of words used as childish insults on websites populated by idiots. You’re not impressing anyone here with that nonsense.

  11. Synergy August 1, 2024 at 7:52 am

    There you have it, the complete reason why you don’t vote maggot looking at the two previous postings, your new world under Trump!

    The Schittsinpants Party is the party of wankers, no other way to describe them. Jack-offs, flotsam, sewer scum, dredges of the earth, bottom feeders, social cretins.

    Easily recognizable. Just look at the Trump shit stains all over their faces. Human face wipes for Trump’s Adderall infused leakage.

    In case you have vision problems, you can smell them a block away, their breath the fragrance of Eau-de-Shit.

    Claims to be representative Gilead Christians no doubt, given the screed, triggered no less by imaginary flies they slap at continuously, their Trump Turret Syndrome (TTS) an identifying characteristic.

    Tsunami warning – Blue Wave on the way to clear the stench, to push the miscreants back into the sewers.

    Vote and get out the vote!

    Recovery begins with recognition of the problem. You don’t have to look any further than the vitriol in this forum to know the depths of Dementia Donnie’s despair laden base showing you your new world!

    Dementia or Democracy – Your Choice!

    Civility or Cesspool – Your Choice!

    Flourish or Flotsam – Your Choice!

    Women and minorities will save this country – yet again!

    VOTE! Your future and that of the country depends on it!

    As Grey One says, “when they tell you who they are, believe them!”

    Easy choices. You vote for those without the stain of Trump shit on their faces!

    If they’re easily triggered – they’re Trumpers! Afraid of their own shadows and insecure in their own manhood.

    Grab ‘em by their tiny little dicks and walk them right back through the misogynistic, homophobic, xenophobic door they came in through!

    Christians are leaving the faith in droves owing to the likes of the two previous posts, representative samples of a base recognizing Trump Dementia Syndrome when they see it!

    MAGA – Out The Door In 24!

    P.S. Another nerve hit. Triggered yet again. Watch the new post. Replete with their go-to sexual screeds when triggered, their own tiny manhood on full display!

    So easy and too funny!

  12. Jdjd August 1, 2024 at 12:51 pm

    There you go again with that faggy talk

  13. Synergy August 1, 2024 at 4:35 pm

    See, triggered! Too funny! And so easy!

    The Faggy Bottom Boy can’t help himself! lol.

    He’d do better to work on that GED but…..Trollsville on the Dementia Express! What a hoot!

    But the real news is, Shittsinpants wants the chattel vote. Yep, that’s right. He wants your women to vote for him. You know, your property.

    The Republicans want you to take charge of your property, give them their opinions, and make them vote Dementia Donnie!

    “I alone got rid of Roe,” says Donnie Shitinmouth!” His beta klan of lively lickers know their only hope for faux imagined manhood is through a subservient pool of chattel forced companionship from women that know their places!

    Forced gestation under the Christianized version of a “take what your given” Jerry Falwell type betas verses real men, natural selection removed. In other words, again, no choice. “Do as your told and take what your given!”

    Never mind the rubber balls hanging off the family car trailer hitch, your own male progeny will go on to have their own set of rubber balls, just like Daddy had!

    Intellectually bereft, a klan of followers to be led by their collective noses tied to their mommy’s apron strings, USA, USA, USA!

    “Got ta git me one of em air AR-15s ta go with ma rubber balls!”

    C’mon ladies. Life is for living, not losing!

    Throw off the chains of oppression and VOTE,

    The Blue Vote is an empowering vote. A freedom vote! No more Gilead!

    Red is Dead – a life of subservience to your owner.

    It’s your time to shine ladies!

    MAGA – Out The Door In 24!

    Eight reasons for removing the Bible are found in “Defend Yourself Against Bible Fundamentalists ” by Arthur August from Dorrance Publishing, Amazon, Kindle, etc

  16. Synergy August 2, 2024 at 1:33 pm

    I’d go further and say that there are at least 8 reasons to remove the Bible from schools for pornographic depictions, not to mention misogyny, xenophobia, infanticide, murder, slavery, et al.

    Yeah, I realize the Catholics cleaned God up a bit between testaments, had him do a little therapy and anger management, but he still has those tendencies, “Love and worship me……..or else!”

    Vindictive and insecure old bastard isn’t he?

    If you told me, as a veteran, that I had to be represented by the Christian God, I’d tell you to shove my Eagle, Globe, and Anchor right up your ass!

    Country first, Corps always – without regard to the mythos of your Christian magic man in the clouds, that watches everything you do, particularly when naked! Lol.

    but its ok to have gay shit and tranny shit in public schools? make it make sense!

  18. Jeff August 3, 2024 at 7:02 am

    Jdjd: it doesn’t make sense to you because you don’t make sense. You don’t make sense when you imagine that something about transvestites is coming up at public schools regularly, or that somehow it is OK for a straight teacher to have on his or her desk a spouse’s photo, but it isn’t OK for a gay or lesbian teacher to do that same. You don’t make sense when you claim that books describing straight relationships are OK for school libraries, but books describing gay or lesbian relationships are not – even though teachers and students are gay and lesbian, or students have parents or other relatives who are gay or lesbian. You don’t make sense when you claim it is somehow improper for schools to support their gay, lesbian and transgender students, even though doing that does not harm at all to other students and employees. You simply have no sense, so it is no wonder that you don’t make sense and that reality fails to make sense to you. Dasvidaniya!

    My son was in and out of several health care facilities for a severe trauma received in an accident.

    Of all the facilities, he was cared for in one facility by a Hispanic transvestite and his gay Hispanic boyfriend. These two, as a team, provided my son the best care he ever received, bar none, one facility in Houston being a world-class model system for trauma care that couldn’t compete with these two dedicated and caring souls. And yes, they were undocumented! Gasp! The facility knew damn well they were using undocumented workers.

    You know why? Because you ain’t gonna get any white kids to do those jobs!

    We’re lucky to have them!

    So fuck off with your faux outrage over trans and gays. Who you are has everything to do with the manufactured crises you dream up in your own head to make you feel better about your lack of accomplishments in your own life, blaming others for your own shortcomings and lack of contribution to society.

    Direct correlation between those with the biggest mouths and the least contribution.

    “Be ashamed to die until you have accomplished some victory for humanity!” Horace Mann.

    Our troll begs us to make it make sense. Make what make sense troll?

    The fact that the LGBTQAI+ community has always existed?

    And like always trolls like you have historically tried and failed to eliminate us for millennia. Trolls want to ensure there are no more gay kids? How about those who have children stop having LGBTQAI+ kids. Right, like that is ever going to happen.

    Maybe the varied flavors of gender aren’t the mistakes the bigots claim but are in reality part of a plan, like an ineffable plan. But that’s just crazy deity talk, amirite?

  21. Grey One Talks Sass August 9, 2024 at 6:30 am

    Oh and for the obligatory response the trolls trot out every conversation no, the LGBTQAI+ community at large are not groomers for pedophilia or childhood sexual assault.

    I can’t speak for everyone because every demographic has their bad apples, but as a whole the LGBTQAI+ community embraces the concept of consent, meaning any sexual partner must be able to not only be of age but capable of signing a contract, meaning no taking advantage of disabled individuals. This ethos comes out of decades of accusations from humans who vilified the community for actions they themselves performed.

    There are receipts, of course there are. Just this week I read about several fine upstanding MAGA souls who were arrested for the crimes they try to pin on the LGBTQAI+ community. And wouldn’t you know it, not one of them was a drag queen.

    Troll, ball is in your court. I’m sure you have the receipts of all the humans you vilify with your slurs doing the same as those I’ve mentioned?

    What? You don’t? Weird how those you identify with are the abusers and those you attack are innocent.
