See: all of human history. It satisfies a massive burden of proof, that properly attributes the restriction of alternate religious routes by the predominant monotheistic institutions. The alternative theory, assuming innocence on the benevolent behalf of these institutions, is not supported by the evidence. It's naive, because it does not correlate well with demonstrable reality.

Honest, decent people who simply want to live their lives and not be culturally assimilated by an expansionist dogma must remain hyper-vigilant against what has been demonstrated to be these inevitable aspects of monotheistic institutions. This is a concrete reality, not a paranoid delusion, or an agenda to belittle anyone's faith.

The people who seem to be caught in the middle are the ones who honestly follow the actual tenets of the spiritual path, but have no feeling of association with the cultural power structure based falsely on these teachings. They defend what isn't being attacked, by awkwardly denying the existence of what everyone else can clearly see.

The V.A. is not a monotheistic institution, nor in the United States Government. The V.A. is however the subject of this thread and their stupidity is the problem.

Blaming Christians at the V.A., while very well may be true, has no basis in fact based on the article we have been shown. If you want to make that accusation, then provide substantiation or stick it back up where you pulled it out of.

Substantiation: They care about pentacles.

That doesn't prove that their objection is because the are Christian, or even that they are. There's no basis in the article for that accusation.
