Wiccans and Pagans Respected at Denver Air Force Academy

[scarygirl67]

I was catching up on my Yahoo just a bit ago, and I found this very interesting article about a worship area being designated for Earth based religions at the Denver Air Force Academy.

In reading the article, I found that the superintendent of the Academy is making tolerance of all faiths a priority. So far, there have been no issues about the area...it is open to the public, but should be respected as a religious structure.

I think this is a wonderful step in promoting religious tolerance and acceptance.

Why not,glad you mentioned it,there is a chapel at West Point and the Naval Academy,for all to worship in, so I'm glad it's being done at another military college.

Yes, there have been issues. A big wooden cross was chucked down in the middle of the circle. >.>

Thanks for showing me that article. I hope things like this don't continue...because EVERYONE has the right to worship in the way they choose.

I agree with SG. This subject had been a major point of contention between I and my mother. She insists any religion without Jesus is blasphemy. I insist that when Christians try to judge people, force or pound Jesus into you...that maybe they have lost the whole point of Christianity in the first place.

I hope to see more than just religious tolerance someday...a move to religious acceptance would be amazing.

About time. Sorry if that was short but why belabor a valid reply with a lot of uneeded words.
