apparently complaints from the followers of wiccan religion,one official said"witches with pointy noses are not repective symbols of the religion.

Those pointy-nosed, warty, cat owning b**tards are always moaning about something.

Ahh but do they also have registered satanists (http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/3948329.stm) in their Navy?

Wonderful way to describe the US pagan community there Nick2...good job you are only describing the wiccans...they cannot harm you.

The two articles mentioned have been banded abou the pagan net for the last few days in a somewhat laughable manner...this is mainly from the British end. The US communities have a tendancy to take things waaaaay too far when addressing equality and poltiical correctness.

You know what I mean.

I remember when halloween meant nothing in the UK, maybe you went as far to carve a turnip lantern on the odd ocassion.

But slowly this waste of space US tradition as "carved" it's way into the UK.

Leading kids to pester and beg on your doorstep, and now they're banning it! Thank's a bunch America BAH Humbug.

Seriously though, what is it we are meant to celebrate?

Amazing :loopy:

Quote -
A spokesman for the Royal Navy said: "We are an equal opportunities employer and we don't stop anybody from having their own religious values."

This is PC madness.

Another quote -

"Satan represents all of the so-called sins, as they all lead to physical, mental, or emotional gratification".

So presumably if this guy commits any of these "sins" eg murder. that happen also to be illegal, he'll be immune from justice because he's just following his religion ?
