Don't tell this kook that there were already nearly three dozen religions that had their respective symbols on the gravestones authorized before the Wicca symbol was cleared.
Wow.... The cross you hang round your neck was what exactly - oh that's right, it was a method of execution wasn't it. That's much more fitting for a cemetary than a symbol of life isn't it.recycled for well over a thousand years, don't think for one moment it's an eternal resting place you fool.
Sometimes I feel so powerless with these people. Will they never learn that Wiccans don't worship the devil? Wicca was a peaceful druidic religion before the Christians arrived. Then the church, ever eager to denegrate other religions, tied it to Satanism to try to encourage conversion and to justify persecution of Wiccans. Satan is a Christian concept. He had no place in the Wiccan religion, and he still doesn't, except in the confused minds of Christians.
Well, you can keep your resurrection,
"would you want to be buried right next to some guy with devil worship symbols on his grave?"As I would be dead, it wouldn't matter to me. Plus, what makes you think that everyone else's family and friends would want their loved one buried next to you and your religious symbols?
"what a bunch of sickos."
What a stupid asshat.
"You can keep your Wicca, Satanic Symbols and other evil weird sh*t where it belongs--in the closets and basements of your homes!"
No, out here in the open with every other religion's symbols seems fair to me.
"dont bring that crap to a place for the dead! disgraceful!!"
Here you are, campaigning agaist a star on a grave marker, when your religious symbol is an instrument of torture and death. Who is it that's disgraceful?
Well, following your logics, let´s put your prayers and your KJV only in the closet, because there are not so many protestant wackoes as you think.
If the soldier wanted a Wiccan plaque, that's what he should get. It's called honoring the dead, and decent people do that. Besides which, Wiccans are not Satanists, get that through your thick head!
SaneChick, as a former Wiccan and currently what I like to refer to as a "Cluster fuck pagan," I have to suggest that you actually read up on the history of Wicca. It's only fifty years old or so. Sure, it takes some things from ancient traditions, but Wicca itself is not an ancient religion predating Christianity.
A cross is a symbol of torture and death!! I don't know why anyone would want to put that in a graveyard! UGH!!!!!
Yeah, don't like it when it's directed at you huh?

Finally, I have something to believe in. Tonight I will pray for this.BWAAAAaaaaahahahahahaa
I've always wondered why the Hell Christians care about the grave site, the Soul is gone upon death. Right?
Yet here they are, beseeching God three days later over the "mortal shell, bereft of life" at a gravesite and for many more years they go talk to a rock. About as Pagan as you can get.
At the major secular columbarium in my country, the niches are separated by religion, with one section for each religion including the irreligious. Mount Vernon even had a pagoda with niches on each level. I can understand the error with the Wiccan pentagram vs. the inverted pentagram (not too well known as of now), but the extent of complaint is still unwarranted. If it were a strictly Christian cemetery, a pentagram (inverted or otherwise) would certainly be out of place. Yet this is a war cemetery we're talking about. Even for unknowns "here lies a soldier known but to God", the Bible God isn't explicitly mentioned.

No irrelevant 'symbols' required.
You can keep your weird shit 'Cross' where it belongs: in your closets, as per Matthew 6:6. Your crap has absolutely no right to exist on this place for the UK's dead of all wars.
...oh, and enjoy your 'Support for Israel' paradox, o fundies, seeing as there is a Star of David poppy wreath placed there, for the UK's Jewish dead of WWII.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
