Holy War Erupts at VA Medical Center Over Bibles for Sale
The American Center for Law and Justices confirms it has written to a gift shop at the VA Medical Center in Albuquerque, N.M., suggesting that managers there quickly restore Bibles to the store shelves.
They were removed on the insistence of activists who apparently want to eliminate any reference to religion, even it those references are protected by the Constitution.
The organization explains the dispute isn’t complicated:
“The gift shop at the Albuquerque VA Medical Center is a business, not a charity. It selects and offers goods for sale that it believes will sell. If it offers goods that do not sell, it can reasonably decline to carry such goods in the future. Bottom line: The Bibles and other literature dealing with Easter were on display for sale because there was a demand for such items. That is a business decision, pure and simple. Such decisions are made daily by business owners. To say that a sound business decision regarding what products to offer violates separation of church and state is nonsense.”
The organization said it has written to the interim director of the facility “to inform her that her decision, rather than upholding the Constitution, actually violated it; to explain the applicable law; and to demand that the display of Christian literature be returned forthwith to the gift shop.” (Read more from “Holy War Erupts at VA Medical Center Over Bibles for Sale” HERE)
