And here is a reply I received from a christian in one of their forums:

"hehehe, I think thats cute..
besides, to the ones who don't believe in such things.. what
difference does it make, they're getting a bath?
You act as if this is some big thing.. like a 'binding contract'
w/something or someone who.. lets see? you claim DOESN'T exist. lol

I would imagine its quite refreshing as well as re-assuring to those
who DO believe.

Please, don't tell me you'd decline the bath to make a stand?
Again, you claim there is no higher power.. so does it matter who or
what the conditions are to get a needed bath?

During war time.. things are different. Things are more of a "cut-n-
dried" mindset.

This was a simple case of supply and demand.. if something is needed
badly enough.. anyone would agree to anything, as long as they stay
true to their hearts and/or beliefs. The same way one can disagree
wholeheartedly w/authority and still answer with a 'yes sir'..

talk is cheap, its what you feel inside that matters."

Christians are disguisting people. I thought we were trying to free Iraq from this kind of treatment, but it's ok to treat our own like this?

Is this the same basic strategy as the Christian Childrens World Fund scumbags?

Hungry? Thristy? Abandon your beliefs, traditions and culture, swear allegiance to our invisible pixie friend, and we'll give you food and water.

Make a stand?

No thanks, I'd take the bath. Already had one anyway in my younger days.
