Old Bibles

I found this entry in the front of my fathers bible from vietnam, can someone help me with what it means?
I have my fathers old bible from his time spent in the Vietnam War. He is no longer around, but I have always wondered the meaning of some words on the front page. It lists his name, serial number, and then this: I.C ( or L.C.) 3rd RT RNG. BN. MCRD San Diego California. 9 April 66. If anyone out there can tell me any meaning to this, I would greatly appreciate it. It would be an honor to know my fathers part in the Vietnam War. Thank you!

Why is the Bible called a fairytale?
I don't think it is one bit! Fairytales are entertaining and usually highly moral. Unlike that ugly old bible...

Does it disturb anyone that Mitt Romney is a serious presidential candidate?
Now I know what you're thinking: here's another liberal peddling his agenda. Well, ......yep, you got it, that's exactly what I'm doing. Only that liberals theses days aren't really liberals anymore.....they're rationalists. Now I can go on and on about how insane and stupid you have to be at this point to be a republican, but this question is unrelated to that. This question is about Mitt Romney's mormon faith. If you're not a moron, the following should either offend or at the very least, disturb you to no end. The following is a list of the tenants of mormonism: --Native Americans are a lost tribe of Israel (despite the fact archaeological and DNA evidence clearly refutes this) --Black people are the result of an inferior race of spirit beings that were neutral between Jesus and the Devil (seriously?) --Jesus and the devil were brothers (sure.) --"Blessed" or otherwise magic underpants will help keep you a virgin until marriage (sounds like a porn plot lol!) --It's OK and in fact encouraged to cheat on your wife or agree to have multiple wives (polygamy is BS , let's face it.) --The prophet/founder of the religion is a guy named Joe from Missouri who found gold plates with holy scriptures that according to him (and you can look this up) no one can see or read unless god enables them to (if that doesn't have BS written all over it, what does?) --Homosexuality is evil --You can become god or a god yourself I'll stop there. But seriously the list goes on and on and on! There are over 14 million followers of this religion. If that's not disturbing enough, Mitt Romney just won the Iowa caucus. Does this not bother anyone here? Doesn't it seem like the world is going insane? 60% of Americans believe in the Noah's ark story literally! 80% of Americans believe in angels. George W. Bush placed a 2003 phone call to then French president Juaq Chirac quoting scipture telling him "Gog and Magog" are at work in the middle east as part of the justification of going to war in Iraq. Does this not bother any of you? Now Christians at least have a 2000 year old bible and 2 billion followers. But a damn mormon contending for the white house? Seriously? Doesn't this bother you? Your thoughts and please be civil and rational in your responses. Thanks.
