Re: Facade of religious tolerance (Letter to the Editor, Colorado Springs Gazette)

Cody, the first sign of religious supremacy is that the supremacist doesn’t know it. You have casually positioned yourself as a Christian Dominionist by diminishing Pagans and being outraged at an $80,000 expediture for their worship site. I guess you forgot that the number of people who believe in a particular religion has nothing to do with constitutional protections of that religion and the free practice thereof. If there were only three Pagans in the entire world the expediture would be justified.

As for Mikey Weinstein, he and the Military Religious Freedom Foundation are currently addressing some 26,000 client case complaints from our young men and women in the armed forces who have found themselves in the grip of command centered and coercive Christian proselytizing with over three hundred originating at the AFA.

The goal of MRFF is not to tear down Christianity but to prevent the tyranny of the majority religions against minority beliefs. And your tyranny seems to be showing.

    I hope the Wiccans pray for us all and please take pics of them doing so .I know as a taxpayer I would like to see the new facilities be utilized. Not sure when I will get back to the Academy to see for myself.

    Cody…I think this group has found a way to destroy all religions. None of us as taxpayers can afford to build nor maintain religious symbols for all of the religions in the world. Jim Jones would have qualified,which means we wouldn’t even want to. They know this and like everything else we will need to change our way of funding our religious buildings etc. on our bases.
    Tomorrow I am writing,once again, to my Congressman and suggesting that we defund any and all religious activities and buildings on any military bases in the world.
    I am also going to suggest that they still encourage religious activities on the base but they must be staffed ,maintained and paid for by by each religion that wishes to participate. Each person who participates will have to sign a contract that they are choosing to be active in the individual religion and are under no duress in signing the contract. Each religion can choose the good works they participate in and also sign a contract that they wish to do so. They may not include bombs ,snakes ,poison or harmful objects in any packages sent to children for any holidays but they may include the good wishes or prayer of the qualified church//temple/etc members. Now there you go ,problem settled. No reason for MRFF to exist. No laws broken,everyone given an equal opportunity.

    Oh it would be such a Happy New Year!!!!!
