I hate it when people say it is discrimination against the way we look, our skin color, our religion, or the imigrants. I don't think it is discrimination, in our system it takes a long time for someone to approve something. It has to go through several process. However I think 9 years is long enough. I bet if his wife took it to the media they would do something about it.

It makes me made that Paganism and Wicca are not considered a religion... Every religion book I loo through never mention us...

althought about 4000 people in Australia said that they are pagan on the census...


I thought that you could put anything you want on the headstone??
Thats a bit dissrespectfull for they dead solider.. I know I would like a penticle on my headstone..

Yup, I've been following this story for a while on the Vox and it is pretty depressing, but typical of what religious minorities have to go through, especially religious groups which are not as well established. It will get resolved eventually.

Actually...you can get those on your headstone...but just not the Pentacle...which is sad but true...most people consider Wiccans/Pagans/Neo-Pagans/New Aged Neo-Pagans(that's me) all evil and apart of the devil....blah blah blah....I hate it when people won't allow a man's wish to have his name there with all the others and all their symbols....and his name have the pentacle with it....Man...I don't even wanna see what they would do if a Satanic person dies and their wife/mother/sister wants the upside down pentacle on his headstone....or something of that sort...this is so gonna start a religious war x.x

While I firmly believe that this is discrimination, you do have a very good point. In America, getting rights for ANYTHING always takes time. Look at the abolishment of slavery, the banning of segregation (not only for blacks, but for all who weren't white)....these are all examples of what you just said. It took a good 200, 300, maybe even 400 years for this to be recognized as wrong. But think about this: while the actual religion has only been around for a bit under a century, the actual Craft has been around for thosands of years, even before written documents. While the pentagram is used in Wicca, it is also used by the practitioners of witchcraft. So how long must we wait to get that small amount of respect to put something as peacful as pentagram on our damn headstones?
