Thanks, Debi, for clearing this up. I took a look and it didn't appear to be anything I recognize from my knowledge of Wicca, and I kinda wondered if instead it resembled something called "bearing false witness."<br><br>keely<br><br>> To: vision2020@moscow.com<br>> From: debismith@moscow.com<br>> Date: Tue, 24 Apr 2007 18:41:56 +0000<br>> Subject: Re: [Vision2020] Wiccans and Courtney's BLog<br>> <br>> A friend sent me to look at Dale Courtney's take on the Wiccan Pentacle <br>> being allowed on cemetery markers for military veterans. As usual, <br>> Courtney got it wrong. What he shows in the graphic is a phoney Satanist <br>> ritual object, obtained in headshops by Gother-Than-Thou adolescents <br>> trying to shock their parents. I'm sure he did a lot of web-surfing to <br>> find this silly piece of trash.<br>> <br>> The Wiccan Pentacle does not appear attched to a plastic skull, nor does <br>> it appear point down. It has nothing to do with devil worship (Wiccans <br>> don't even believe in the concept of the devil), fanged skulls, backwards <br>> prayers, and the rest of the crap Dale watches on late night cable tv. He <br>> should stop scaring himself. And Little Chris Whitmer best hope cemetery <br>> vandaliism is at an all time low, or the authorities will know where to <br>> look for a culprit...<br>> <br>> Courtney seems to be an irresponsible hate-monger, and not much of a <br>> Christian. Juxtaposing this laughable and trashy bit of kitsch with an <br>> article about religious tolerence finally being awarded to a truly <br>> persecuted religious minority is amazing. It surely does not speak well <br>> of his own perceived victimization due to his religious beliefs, nor his <br>> wish to have redress. <br>> <br>> That image, of course, has nothing to do with the practice of Wicca, but <br>> fact has never loomed large on Courtney's horizon. Doesn't really matter, <br>> as those who take his BLog seriously already had their psuedo minds made <br>> up, and are willing to believe anything ugly about anyone not them. <br>> Everyone with a mind still open is just laughing at him...<br>> > Debi R-S<br>> <br>> > <br>> > From: "Tom Hansen" <thansen@moscow.com><br>> > To: <london@moscow.com>, "Debi Robinson-Smith" <br>> > <debismith@moscow.com>,<br>> > "Don and Rose Huskey" <donaldrose@cpcinternet.com>,<br>> > "Joan Opyr" <joanopyr@moscow.com>,<br>> > "Keely Emerinemix" <kjajmix1@msn.com>,<br>> > "Lois Blackburn" <lblackburn@turbonet.com>,<br>> > "Nick Gier" <nickgier@adelphia.net>, "Nick Gier" <br>> > <ngier@uidaho.edu>,<br>> > "Saundra Lund" <sslund@roadrunner.com><br>> > Subject: Wiccans and Courtney's BLog<br>> > Date sent: Tue, 24 Apr 2007 05:44:57 -0700<br>> > <br>> > As I do regularly, I visited Courtney's Brainless Log (BLog) to see if<br>> > there was anything of interest.<br>> > <br>> > Attached is a PDF file of the "Wiccans Get Grave Marker Symbol"<br>> > article posted to the BLog.
