Pagans get worship space at Academy

The Air Force Academy will add a worship area for followers of “earth-centered religion” — pagans — with a dedication ceremony scheduled for March 10.
A stone circle located on a hill overlooking the Cadet Chapel and visitor center will join Protestant, Catholic, Jewish, Muslim and Buddhist sacred spaces at the academy in Colorado Springs, Colo.
Tech. Sgt. Brandon Longcrier, a pagan who worked with the chapel to create the circle, said he did not encounter resistance to the idea.
“There really haven’t been any obstacles for the new circle,” he said in an Air Force news release. “The chaplain’s office has been 100 -percent supportive.”
Longcrier said earth-centered spirituality includes traditions such as Wicca and Druidism. Wicca is the largest religious group in the Air Force after Christianity.

No

No..

Thank Al Gore.. ;)

No. If they can do it for one, then others should have the same right. Besides most Wiccan chicks are Hot, you might be able to see them dancing in the moonlight naked!!! :D

I'm converting!

I'd attend one service before making a rash decision...:rolleyes:

They could all be fat, ya know...

I don't see any issues with this...unless it becomes the mission of yet another group of 'true believers' to seek to deny the benign spiritual beliefs of others.

I've spent time living amongst what we officially referred to as 'animists' - 'indigenous' cultures of some of the nicest, gentlest, finest people I've ever known - who believed everything had a spirit - much in alignment with the concept of the 'Laws of Nature and of Nature's God' referred to by our Founding Fathers in the Declaration of Independence.

Being of Scot's ancestry, I am quite familiar with the concepts of paganism and the history of its near demise under the onslaught of Christianity - and of the 20th Century's rise of the neo-paganist Wicca. You should visit the Rosslyn Chapel (made famous in The DaVinci Code) to see the dual influence of the two as they crossed paths in Scotland in the 12th-15th Centuries.

Personally, I tend to worship the ground upon which my wife walks - does that make me a danger to society, too? ;)

And so it goes...

Richard's $.02 :munchin

It's the AF Academy......Not Basic for Army Chicks!!!!........:D

You dissing my religion?

Whatever.
If you're a Wiccan and have a broom do you automatically get into flight school?

Limited to VFR with Sectionals. ;)
