Religion

on the Post. The event was billed as a Thanksgiving luncheon, but we were required to be there 45 minutes prior to the start of the luncheon. Most of us thought it was so we could find our seats and not digress into chaos. But no..... there were Jesus "testimonials" and long prayers by multiple people. I felt VERY uncomfortable, but there was no way out. And declining the "invitation" to the luncheon was actively discouraged as it was suppose to be a "team building" exercise. Turned out to be a great way to rip apart the team on a metric that had nothing to do with our work or mission!

We finally got the okay to have the pentacle on our gravestone in the National cemeteries. But I'd love to see how eager they are at any office to schedule a talk by a Wiccan or other Pagan about their religious path... or, even the Satanic Temple. Something tells me those would not be so readily welcomed as the First Baptist Church or the Evangelical Church of God.

It's just another way of pinning a visible label on people that says "I'm not one of you." And then you pay the price.
