Clearly, Jesus' preachings about dishonesty have not reached this one.

What if he placed the coins around on the ground? Someone could find one, read the message, and think it was a sign from God.
Yeah, 'cause if you found a Buddhist or Islamic coin on the ground you'd surely think it was a message from Allah or some Hindu god, right?
I realize you idiots don't respect people, but really, do you think the Iraqis are that dumb?

the word "pesky" really gets to me. like neila's such an idiot she can't even begin to fathom the very good reasons why such regulations are in place. (like, to keep from insulting people and potentially getting shot.) i also love how discovering evangelical materials in one's neighborhood after it has been taken over by christians with big guns is supposed to be taken as a "sign from god." does she think everyone's a goat herder and rides a camel to work, too?

Okay, then why don't you get your ass over there and do that? See how far you get.

Except he didn't. Gee why would these stupid heathen Iraqis be offended by a Godly Christian Marine simply trying to convert them? Why would these stupid moron Islamofascist muslim terrorist Iraqi civilians be offended by a heavily-armed invading nation trying to bring the Holier-than-thou word of God to them?
They shouldn't be because conversion at the point of a gun has worked so well in the past...oh wait. Nevermind.

I don't think most people will think that gospels written on coins are divine, they'll probably think : "Hey, some dude wrote stuff on this coin then dropped it. Maybe I can get a coke with it anyway."
Why would one automatically assume the more complicated explanation ?

A young Muslim is on his way to the nearby mosque. As he turns a corner, he notices something shining on the ground- a coin. Picking it up, he notices another a few feet away, and another a few feet from that... after following the trail some thirty yards along the street and into an alley, a net suddenly drops from above and masked figures spring from behind a stack of crates bearing clubs and Bibles.
"We are the anonymous Bagdad Christian Coversion Society" Says one in a thick Texas accent. "Could we talk to you for a moment about Jesus?"

Engage in all the hypotheticals you want, but what he actually did was to stop people at gun point and give them religious messages denouncing their faith and promoting his own. And whether you consider regulations against that "pesky" or not, they are rather firmly upheld by every civilized nation on the planet.
How would you muppets react if warriors of Allah came to your town, stopped cars at gun point, and gave out sermons from the Koran? Do you honestly expect us to believe that you wouldn't be calling for international action against such behavior?

You're advocating fraud (truly incompetent fraud, but still fraud). I'm pretty sure the bible forbids that.

What if the Muslims started dropping copies of the Koran in public places? Say, Starbucks, McDonald's, Dunkin Donuts. Someone could find one, read the book, and think it was sign from god.
Yeah, right.

Typical fundie. They lecture people about morality, but they're so sure they're right that any dishonest means justify the ends.

People would probably leave them, thinking they're booby-trapped. Children in a war zone should be taught NOT to pick up strange things, no matter how shiny.
Come to think of it, children should not be in a war zone to begin with. Whose fucking bright idea was it to turn cities into battlefields?

They seem to think that just because they see everything as a sign from their god that we all do.

Maybe the marine's removal from duty is a sign from God.

When I learned that the Marine was busted for handing out religious "coins", I thought he was taking a handful of quarters and using a magic marker to highlight the "In God we trust" motto.

If Islamic fundamentalists stopped my car at gunpoint, sermons from the Koran would be the LEAST of my worries.
