Good. About time. It's embarassing that this was even an issue.

I don't care if he was a Satanist. He died fighting for his country, and he should get what he wants on his headstone.

I have known several Wiccans in the military.....would have been a shame to not let them have religious freedom!

Good for the State of Nevada. He believed in Wiccian and this will give comfort to his family. Whatever my personal feelings on his religious beliefs, he is a hero who gave his life for me and the rest of the US. His grave should reflect his beliefs and be of comfort to his family.

Very nicely said. Besides, I'm not sure that Wiccan is Satanism. I'll have to go look that up now. Prayers for this hero and his fallen comrades.

Exactly. Most of them are ex-Catholics anyway. ;^)

The Wiccians I know are not Satanists, they consider Satan a Christian "deity". The ones I know worship "the goddess" in her various aspects (Isis, Athena, Freya, Kuan Yin, etc). I am always amused to see the bumper sticker with a pentagram made of flags and "Goddess Bless America" on various cars.

He was a follower of the Wiccan religion. . .

I would offer that more than likely, this soldier, by now. . .has changed his mind.

They worship the creature/created rather than the Creator.

Gardnerian Wicca no doubt, which is primarily about running around naked.

Though Deuteronomy 4:19 and Malachi 1:11.

RIP.

Agreed wholeheartedly and completely. However, all but Christians and Jews do the same.

Next, it'll be put on dog tags. Those'll be some interesting last rites.

I intend to be buried in a veterans cemetary also. I'm going to have the NASCAR logo put on my stone.

I knew two Marines that had "Church of Satan" on their dog tags, wannabee biker types both of them.
