does not say HE worship the fraud.

What was HE?

What happens when the deceased was say christian but the widow was jewish? Does her religious preference have the right to overide the deceased?

What about the fact that her symbol is offensive to the other familes and is specifically used by other religions as a sign of satanic worship? She is the one being absurd.

What if he has a final request that wiccan (aka wican) NOT be on his memorial? That has to be respected despite the widows political efforts.

They were probably doing the circle skyclad. The cardboard was up so not to offend the neighbors.

I had heard (no cite) that the puppet sex had to be toned down so not to get an X rating.

Seems to me that "science" has been incorrect about many things. It's constantly changing.

That's the point, always using rational thinking and processes to further knowledge. It wouldn't be rational if it never changed -- it would be dogmatic.

Well, I have never heard of such a thing, but after doing a quick Google search, I bet you're right!

The were really the nicest folks though and good neighbors. My husband and I were fortunate in that the landlord of our property had an open lot and he let us have a huge huge organic garden there. It was really nice, had pathways and benches. Very nice. Apparently the Wiccans next door thought so too and we would sometimes see them out there in the evening, just standing in our garden in a group. (There was four of them that lived next door.) My husband and I took it as a compliment that they found our garden to be a nice place to hang out.

I was pretty bashful around them and rarely spoke to them, but one time I did tell them if they saw some produce they wanted they could just take it. That was after they chased off a guy trying to steal my husband's bike.

This was 15 years ago or more...just reminiscing.

It said "Heathen" on my dogtags and on my Death Benefit record. It was what I expected to be buried as.

Still is.

The markers, grave site, and everything else is for those who survive me. I'll have no need of them.

Azazel, Beelzebub, Asmodeus, Mephistopheles, Amy.

I know, the name just doesn't strike terror into your heart.

Amy is a nice girl who bakes cookies and ends up being in charge of the high school class reunion because nobody else will do it. Not very demonic, I think.

I think it's because atoms are at the root of all things that that is used.
