kengrThe USAF academy at Colorado Springs was notorious for the fundies pressuring others to join them. As well as discrimination against those who didn't at least act like they went along with them.
It looked like progress was being made. Among other things a "circle" for pagans and other followers of earth centered religions had been dedicated.
Great huh?
Except when it was desecrated by somebody placing a huge cross there...

ETA: this is no different than painting a swastika on a synagogue. Or punks playing at being "Satanists" painting pentacles/pentagrams on Christian churches.

Now, I have reason to fear a group.
