The Cellar - View Single Post - Army Chaplain's transfer to Wicca denied.

I've become more and more saddened over the type of hatred, intolerance, political maneouvering, and outright death and destruction sponsored by the world's major religions. Including my nominal religion, Episcopalian, which is now tearing itself apart because the American Episcopalians had the effontry to support gay clergy and gay unions, and fundamentalist Christianity, which seems to have such a chokehold on America. So I sympathize with this gentleman:

Not in this army!

Wicca and paganism makes a lot of sense to me, and appeals to my sense of awe and mystery, but actually doing it--dunno if I could do it with a straight face.
