Christ Conspiracy Military burns unsolicited Bibles sent to Afghanistan
Military burns unsolicited Bibles sent to Afghanistan
May 20, 2009
"(CNN) -- Military personnel threw away, and ultimately burned, confiscated Bibles that were printed in the two most common Afghan languages amid concern they would be used to try to convert Afghans, a Defense Department spokesman said Tuesday.
The unsolicited Bibles sent by a church in the United States were confiscated about a year ago at Bagram Air Base in Afghanistan because military rules forbid troops of any religion from proselytizing while deployed there, Lt. Col. Mark Wright said.
Such religious outreach can endanger American troops and civilians in the devoutly Muslim nation, Wright said.
"The decision was made that it was a 'force protection' measure to throw them away, because, if they did get out, it could be perceived by Afghans that the U.S. government or the U.S. military was trying to convert Muslims," Wright told CNN on Tuesday.
Troops at posts in war zones are required to burn their trash, Wright said.
The Bibles were written in the languages Pashto and Dari.
This decision came to light recently, after the Al Jazeera English network aired video of a group prayer service and chapel sermon that a reporter said suggested U.S. troops were being encouraged to spread Christianity.
The military denied that earlier this month, saying much in the video was taken out of context.
"This was irresponsible and dangerous journalism sensationalizing year-old footage of a religious service for U.S. soldiers on a U.S. base and inferring that troops are evangelizing to Afghans," Col. Gregory Julian said.
The military says a soldier at Bagram received the Bibles and didn't realize he wasn't allowed to hand them out. In the Al Jazeera video, which shows the Bibles at the prayer service, an unnamed soldier says members of his church raised money for them.
The chaplain later corrected the soldier and confiscated the Bibles, Wright said.
Military officers considered sending the Bibles back to the church, he said, but they worried the church would turn around and send them to another organization in Afghanistan -- giving the impression that they had been distributed by the U.S. government.
That could lead to violence against troops or U.S. civilians, Wright said.
Al Jazeera English, a Qatar-based international news service, said its reporters tried to get a response from military officials for its story but were unable to do so.
The U.S. military air base at Bagram is home to thousands of troops from all branches of the U.S. military. The vast majority of the troops do not leave the base and are in various support roles for U.S. troops across Afghanistan."

[Real World Atheism] Atheists call for Congressional probe of Afghanistan bible incident

ATHEISTS CALL FOR CONGRESSIONAL PROBE OF AFGHANISTAN BIBLE INCIDENT
An Atheist public policy group today called upon Congress to investigate
the unauthorized distribution of bibles by U.S. military troops in
Afghanistan.
The incident was revealed on the Al Jazeera television network, and
consisted of video shot by a U.S. filmmaker. It shows military
chaplains at Bagram Air Force base planning distribution of bibles
printed in the native Pashto language to Muslims. Such an act
reportedly violated regulations.
Kathleen Johnson, Military Director for American Atheists says that the
year-old video footage is "a public relations disaster for the United
States."
"This film depicts our troops as modern-day 'crusaders' who are out to
proselytize and convert Muslims," said Johnson. "We're supposed to be
fighting terrorism and helping the Afghanis build a new civil society
that educates women, protects human rights and brings economic
development. Religious conversion is not and should not be on our
government's to-do list."
Dave Silverman, Communications Director for American Atheists, said that
Congress needs to investigate. "We've been told that the Bibles were
destroyed when the Al Jazeera documentary came to light; what we don't
know is whether this practice is continuing, and we can't trust the
military brass on this issue."
"We already know that the chaplains were trying to cover-up the incident
when they claimed that the bibles -- printed in a foreign tongue -- were
for 'personal use. That doesn't make sense."
Silverman also cited a sermon by Lt. General Gary Hensley, chief of
military chaplains in Afghanistan, preaching that troops were followers
of Jesus Christ and should "be witnesses for him."
"This is mixing private religion with an official military mission. No
branch of our government, including the Pentagon, should be promoting
religion, especially when Islamic fundamentalism is one of the major
problems in Afghanistan.
AMERICAN ATHEISTS is a nationwide movement that defends civil rights for
Atheists; works for the total separation of church and state; and
addresses issues of First Amendment public policy.

TRC Mark Sneak Peek
edited by John F. Felix
The TRC is an attempt at a new collation of at least the synoptic gospels, in order to provide functionality as an electronic tool for textual reconstruction, concordance and other applications, as an aid to further research on the so-called "synoptic problem." In addition, it is laid out in a database format for importation into Jet DBMS, for the express purpose of experimentation with sophisticated Structured Query Language queries.
The basic notion that started it was the beginning insight that every Greek text since Erasmus has been a collation of manuscripts. To best collate the Greek scriptures, then, it seemed logical to collate the collations, as each collator(s) produced what they each believed to be the most likely Greek text that would be closest to a hypothetical original; however later actual codexes and papyrii were included in our new collation.
A word needs to be said about the column headings:
1. ID Identficication number (a unique database identifier)
2. B Book (i.e., Mark = 2)
3. C Chapter
4. V Verse
5. W Word
6. TRC2009lex - The lexical forms for the TRC2009
7. TRC2009 - The current Textus Receptus Criticalis
8. TC2009lex - The lexical forms for the TC2009
9. TC2009 - The "textus criticalis," my own collation of UBS4 and NA/27, a critical text
10. TC2009elt - A third-party English Literal Translation based on the critical text
11. PAPYYnorm - The "normalized" papyrus witnesses (i.e., the lacunae are shown as if they were actually present)
12. PAPY - The papyrii with lacunae shown by brackets, for reference
13. AV2009rev_i - The King James Version in its actual English order (reverse interlinear)
14. REV_W - re-ordered Greek words in order of the AV
15. AV2009i - The AV in the order of the Greek
16. VUL - Jerome's Vulgate (Latin)
17. TR1894 - Scrivener's Greek text underlying the AV (deviations from the 1550 and other Greek mss are not reconstructed)
18. TR1550 - Stephanus 1550
19. TR1624 - Elziver's Greek text of 1624
20. MT2009 - My own collation of two Majority Texts: Hodges & Farstad 1985 and Pierpont & Robinson 2005
21. TISCH1872 - Tischendorf's critical text
22. WH1881 - Westcott-Hort 1881 critical text
23. RGNT2009 - My sub-project of the Resultant Greek NT based on the following
24. SINAI - Codex Sinaiticus (Greek, not Syrian)
25. ALEX - Codex Alexandrinus
26. VAT - Codex Vaticanus
27. TRGLS1872 - Tragelles critical text (date is an inference)
28. Not shown - Codex Bezae through chapter 5
The native format is in MS-Excel, mainly for the purposes of concordancing and proof-reading/correction. Therefore, an arbitrary order for the text was decided upon first, based rigorously on the NA/27 and UBS4 manuscript order. All other collated texts are re-arranged to fit this order of words. The texts for such codexes as Sinaiticus, Alexandrinus, Vaticanus, (Bezae is not shown), etc., should not be seen then as being in anything but an arbitrary order, and definitely not a guide to what the manuscripts actually record.
The reason this order was established first is because of Excel's "auto-filter" feature, which the readers can research for themselves. In order to align all the Greek and other texts across each column, certain principles were devised, the first principle being that each text must be normalized to minimize any differences between the texts, so all diacritics that may have existed in the e-texts have been removed (and the entire corpus reduced to lowercase), and all texts are maintained in unicode. Greek words that occur at the same location, but may differ, are aligned by whatever method reduces dissimilarities, e.g., if one text uses one conjunction and another uses another conjunction, then the words are aligned, and autofiltering can show the similarities and differences for each word in each place it occurs in the corpus. There is also the concept of conceptual similarity, which I won't delve into with this blog post, but will expand upon in an article posted to a wiki page at a later date.

TRC Mark Supplement
edited by John F. Felix
Supplement to the Mark Sneak Peek main article.
The Excel file as it is constructed fulfills multiple project needs at once. One sub-project is to create a "resultant Greek" version of Mark, based on the three major codexes, namely, Sinaiticus (Aleph), Vaticanus (B) and Alexandrinus (A), in the tradition of Weymouth and the dreaded (by some) Concordant Greek New Testament. If anyone knows of an e-text of Weymouth's Resultant Greek Text, I would appreciate the information. The e-text that is actually available for the CGNT is NA 26/27 and/or Westcott-Hort, although a digitized eclectic text based on A. E. Knoch's work may be in the works.
brackets (i.e., italics) than Scrivener ever dreamt of, as well as a real attempt to "reverse engineer" a Greek text to match the English translation, which is merely an academic exercise, i.e., for "fun.".
Additional resources will be adapted for the main, or primary, project, specifically the use of "Louw-Nida" numbers for the TRC, which are numbers that map the Greek to their "semantic domains." This information will be very useful in deciding the text of the TRC.
More texts are to be collated; I hope to include a version of the Peshitta in square Aramaic (which was done experimentally for Matthew, another project that I work on from time to time), rather than Syriac, for more detailed use with such software programs as Logos Bible Software's Libronix Library System, to interact with its rich Aramaic resources. Of course, the new collation entitled the Textus Receptus Criticalis is the main goal, but the collation that is finalized will go on to be a project of its own. This spreadsheet will continue as a separate tool once all resources are finished, because of the concordancing properties described in the main article.

New Septuagint Sneak Peek
edited by John F. Felix
(Use your browser back button to return here.)
The work on the Septuagint is to go beyond all previous editions. Here we attemtp to re-construct both the Greek and the Hebrew, when one or the other is not present in the textual location. In addition, this project incorporates a new Hebrew morphology, differing from Westminster and other systems, though based on rigorous attention to Masoretic Hebrew and the Koine Greek of the late centuries preceeding the Common Era.
For purposes of this interlinear, the order of the Hebrew, or supposed Hebrew, is considered primary, and the order of the Greek conforms to that order. This new Septuagint, then, is a hopefully useful "what-if" tool, for scholarly research into textual history and problems, e.g., what if what is taken in the Greek as merely stylistic actually represented a now unknown Hebrew textual variant, and what would that look like in pointed Masoretic Hebrew? The same would apply to the Alfred Rahlfs's LXX, used as the basic Greek text here. We hope to add other editions to the interlinear, as well.
In addition, the interlinear features the hard to find public domain e-text of the Septuagint to English translation (1808) of American Charles Thompson, secretary of the Continental Congress from 1774 to 1789.
