U.S. AIR FORCE ACADEMY, Colo. -- The Air Force Academy chapel will add a worship area for followers of Earth-centered religions during a dedication ceremony, which is tentatively scheduled to be held at the circle March 10.
The circle, located atop the hill overlooking the Cadet Chapel and Visitor Center, will be the latest addition to a collection of worship areas that includes Protestant, Catholic, Jewish, Muslim and Buddhist sacred spaces.

Well, the world isn't going to hell in a handbasket; it's headed there on a bullet train.

So now what happens when the Earth centered religions get into a squabble over THAT space?

And isn’t it ironic to find an EARTH religion in the AIR force?

Boy, doesn’t this sound like the “high places” God said not to build in the Old Testament.
Bullet train is precise.

A few Jaffa are demanding a Goa’uld worship center at the Academy.

Surely the atheists in the USAF will now demand a place where they can go and not think about God.

Well, it makes sense to me when you think of the need for extra room for all of the gay marriages that will soon take place within the military.
Other than that, it’s insane.

Remember this:

Thirteen conservative religious groups are calling on Christians to boycott joining or re-enlisting in the U.S. Army until it bans witchcraft on its posts.
“Until the Army withdraws all official support and approval from witchcraft, no Christian should enlist or reenlist in the Army, and Christian parents should not allow their children to join the Army,” said Paul M. Weyrich, president of the Free Congress Association.

Well hey, why can’t we have them cast evil spells on our enemies? (OK, I know it’s a more serious matter than that.)

Will this outdoor "circle" turn into a circle jerk, or just jerks in a circle.
Maybe all military bases should close down their churches, chapels and other places of worship, maintaining them only when there is no alternate access, and let the members just go off base/post to the civilian church of their choice.
I don't really believe that but it may end up that way to get away from the "separation" argument made by the media in their eternal quest to keep some crap stirring at all times.
It's hard to understand why the ones who are against religion can't be logical and just stay home on religious days. But they are not about THEIR freedom of Religion, they are about denying you YOUR freedom of religion.
They need their asses whipped on a regular basis.

I think Wicca is a bunch of crap, but if they’ve signed up and want to play witches and wizards, fair play to them. They’ve got every right to a spot to worship at.

It’s just the decline and fall of Western Civilization. We can all contemplate what it will be like to live in places like Indonesia or Haiti.

That would be Hell on Earth. Maybe they can create a pit of fire and brimstone.

I was just talking to an Australian priest who serves as a chaplain for their military (Navy, if I recall correctly). That is the arrangement that they have used for years, and it sounds like it works fairly well. It really cuts down on the number of chaplains that they need.

I once consecrated that hill myself with many a beer on the weekends.

Unfortunately one of the reasons this occured is that the christians would not let the rest just “stay away” but made them participate.
I agree that here in the States there should probably not be any churches on post as long as there are available facilities off post. Afer all the reason the chaplain corp got past the state/church was that facilities were not available in war.
It is not about denying you your particular flavor, but about me not being forced to participate in it.

According to a detailed demographic study done here in Raleigh/Durham/Chapel Hill a few years ago, out of the 1.1 million people in the area, 8000 are Wiccans or Druids, and 6000 are Jews.
There is a store in Carrboro that sells Wiccan and Druid books and supplies.
FWIW

But they are not about THEIR freedom of Religion, they are about denying you YOUR freedom of religion. That's an odd reaction, given that this story is about the Academy expanding access to worship facilities.
