Just goes to show that opening the Pandora's Box of unlimited religious inclusivism in an envionment of spiritual darkness releases all the hordes of hell. Just another episode in the sad saga of the Death of the West.

It's a sort of poor effort at propaganda, Nikos. I suggest you go back to the basics as defined by Josef Goebels and try again. You can do better, I expect.

You would have loved the Salem Witch Trials, Nikos. A bunch of ignorant evangelicals you would have felt right at home with.

It just boggles the mind how anyone could be so cold-hearted or disrespectful of a fallen soldier as to refuse to allow this. If a soldier gives his life in an effort to defend his country, why shouldn't his grave have a symbol on it representing his religious beliefs? If a Wiccan can have this denied, why shouldn't a Christian also be denied?

What's really sad is that we have come a place where the shrouds of darness have so blinded our eyes that we can't see the detrimental results of accepting and approving witchcraft, no matter how it is dressed up and marketed by its purveyors.

I honor anyone's sacrifice for his country and loved ones, but the larger issue of the spiritual direction of our country takes precedence over an effort to force our govenment to accept occult symbols. They are obviously trying to use the deep emotional associations in this situation to force the issue. But, I suppose it's really a moot point anyway, considering what other symbols are allowed. So they might as well go ahead and fill up our cup of iniquity.

The Salem crowd may have been wrong in their method and perceptions, but they were not wrong in wanting to to rid thier community of witchcraft and occultism.

Yeah, I can see this. "Hordes of Hell," "Shrouds of darkness" -- these terms of "honor" would warm any wife's heart. Are you incapable of simply letting anyone be the slightest bit different from you without acting like a total jerk?

"The Salem crowd may have been wrong in their method and perceptions, but they were not wrong in wanting to to rid thier community of witchcraft and occultism."

Nikos, you were obviously born out of your proper time...
