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
