kengr: (seperation of church & hate)

The 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.

Fundies do shit like this and then wonder why so many non-Christians have no respect for them. Respect is a two-way street.

The worst thing is, the people who did this didn't have the courage to take credit for their actions.

So I can't say, "Those five idiots over there need to learn more about the religion they claim to believe in." I have to wonder if it was an isolated group of idiots, or there's a particular church of idiots, or if it's larger than that.

Now, I have reason to fear a group.

If I were pagan, I'd say it was working perfectly.

What does it profit them to persecute one religion, if it means that nobody will trust their symbol? They're trying to scare the pagans at the cost of their own religion's credibility.

Question: "ETA" means "Estimated Time of Arrival" afaik. How is it being used in this context?

This actually does surprise me. I'd have thought the Air Force would simply fluke out or deny promotions to anyone who actually practiced any religion but that approved by the Academy 'leadership'. I don't know why this surprises me. Blind religious zealotry is just another aspect of the white supremacist good ole boy frat party that seems to represent the best the Air Force Academy has to offer.
