Well, if they are so harmonious with the universe, tolerant of every belief and don't worship demons and satan, then why would they be bothered.

How did people who practice witchcraft get in the Air Force Academy in the first place? Which members of Congress nominated them? It is very competitive, and surely this is evidence of mental imbalance. Has the military gone crazy? Will they accommodate voodoo and people sacrificing chickens and goats there on the academy campus? Human sacrifice? Whirling dervishes? Is anyone in charge capable of drawing any lines at all?

I wonder how they would feel if some Voodooist wanted to cut chicken heads off would they accommodate that too? Maybe the Wicca and Voodooist could share the same site.

I can’t believe the amount of idiocy I’m reading in this thread.

I’m a Christian and a former infantry officer.

If you guys haven’t noticed, the First Amendment (you know, in that Constitution thing that these very cadets have sworn to uphold and defend) guarantees freedom of religion...even the ones we disagree with.

Like I said in another thread — I’d take a squad of motivated, disciplined soldiers who worshipped Twinkies over a battalion of lazy, undisciplined ragbags who happened to be Christians.

How do we know the cross wasn’t placed by the earth worshippers themselves (low level false flag attack), or by those sympathetic to the earth worshippers, in order to further demonize Christians? Things sound pretty polarized at the Academy over this issue. False flag and psy ops are all the rage these days.

“I consider this no different than someone writing graffiti on the Cadet Chapel,”

This statement should apply to the installment of the pagan circle in this Christian-founded school.

This has been going on for years. Twenty years ago I had some prisoners (coke) who were into this. From what I see It is childish.

Here’s a little story that might make this all make more sense to everyone.

There was once a great and mighty country founded by people who believed (with good reason) that Twinkies are divine. In the early years of the nation, probably 80% of the citizens worshipped Twinkies — but there were always a significant percentage of people who worshipped Pop Tarts, some who worshipped Doritos, and a few who worshipped nothing at all. They were all accepted and given equal protection under the law.

A couple hundred years later, all these various snack food worshippers were, for the most part, happily coexisting. Most people still worshipped Twinkies, and some Pop Tarts, and some Doritos... but not you. No, you worship Oreos. You disagree with the Twinkie, Pop Tart, and Dorito worshippers about what you worship, but you all agreed on one thing: You love this country you all grew up in — partly because your country guaranteed that you could worship whatever snack food you wanted.

So when you were old enough, you and ten of your friends decided to join the country’s military, sworn to defend the very rulebook that guaranteed everyone the right to worship whatever junk food they wanted.

So you, Oreo worshipper, asked for a simple accomodation - a box of Oreos, in an out-of-the-way corner where it wouldn’t bother anybody else. The military agrees and then gives you one.

Then, the next day, you come in and find your little corner littered with Twinkie, Dorito, and Pop Tart wrappers. But... how could this be? Didn’t the rulebook that you swore to defend guarantee that everyone could worship what they believe? Even you, the Oreo worshipper?

Are you starting to understand why this is a big deal now?

At least it wasn’t a burning cross.

On the other hand why is there a narrow cross section of Christians who are determined to force their beliefs on others. Its not enough for some Christians to say “Merry Christmas”. They demand it from others and seek to punish anyone (individual or business) who do not recite the greeting verbatim, or try to pose a greeting more indicative of their belief or celebration (”Happy Holiday”, “Season’s Greetings”). They impose themselves on other beliefs as in this Air Force Academy case. I’ve never had a Saturday interrupted by pagans knocking on my door seeking entry to try to persuade me to believe the way that they believe.
