a, i was like wtf, why is Patrick Stewart dead when i read this first, and now im just pissed that it the OP lead to some completley unrelated article. I really have no opinion on this. I don't codone the Wiccan Faith, and I do not believe that i would be able to have a true friend of the Wiccan faith, but i would say the same thing about many religions whose beliefs aren't very similar to mine. However, I would not reject to hiring a Wiccan if I owned a business, or working with such a person at my place of employment. I believe in preserving the free-will that I believe my God gave to every man and woman when we were created, so I support freedom of religion and speach. Don't let that make you think that i won't try to change your mind about what you believe though.

As for this woman's gravestone, I think Dwarf said it best:

Here's the basic gist of things:

A soldier of the Wiccan faith died.
When they went to bury him, they found out that no symbol had been approved yet for that faith.
A request was made for one.
Said request is now working its way through the government.

end of story.
 
damn... i was about to be really upset. Not to downplay the death some soldier, but Patrick Stewart has one of the best voices in the industry.
 
This really sucks for him and his family. It's odd that they don't already have something set up. Wicca is covered in the military chaplain's handbook, and one of the options for religious worship during Air Force basic training was wiccan (although I had to get a waiver signed to be able to attend).

You wouldn't be able to be true friends with a wiccan? I guess I just don't understand that (unless you really know nothing about the religion and are basing that statement on propaganda).
 
I love America. The only country where you can practice whatever religion you choose and be free from persecution, so long as it's Christianity.
