A large wooden cross was placed at an Air Force Academy worship area for pagans and other Earth-centered religions, prompting an investigation by academy officials, though some caution that it’s hardly “destructive behavior.”

Mikey Weinstein, founder of the Military Religious Freedom Foundation, said an Air Force Academy staffer spotted the cross — erected with railroad ties — lying against a rock at a worship area for pagan groups at the academy in Colorado Springs, Colo., on Jan. 17.

I can’t take a grown man seriously who still calls himself “Mikey.”

Would it be hate speech if it was placed on the steps of a synagogue?

Our military is rapidly going to hell. As a proud veteran, it breaks my heart. Islamofascists terrorists are recruited and trained to kill our troops BEFORE they can deploy overseas. Olive drab “boas” are going to become part of the uniform. Flying brooms will be replacing our fixed and rotary wing aircraft! It’s all insane.

No worse than finding a Muslim crescent nailed up in a Church.

Perfectly acceptable, yes...

its a shame... the air force was making forward progress with this...

this reminds me of the times of king bluetooth and jael haakon, gets my norse blood boiling.

Why cant people understand that in America we have the freedom of religion and that not all people who are good and conservative worship the god of adam, eve, and abraham...

we would (and do) die for this great country we share.

This *is* just like throwing a swastika on a Jewish temple. This should not be dismissed lightly.

These pagan “religions” are a joke anyway. They take some carved stones and scratches on rocks and create a “religion” around them. Virtually nothing is known about the people who practiced these religions or even if they really were religions.

They’re all practicioners of the “look at me” religion.

By the Cross you are saved — even the pagans can be saved.

And dont forget that we are the true infidels, we are just as much at war with the islamofacists as our fellow americans and as israel is. Not all pagans fly brooms... some of us make the sign of the hammer.

i hate to tell you.. but 95% of christanity is taken from paganism and adopted as to not “upset the locals”

St valentine, patron saint of archers, valentines day = love... the god val patron god of archery and of love

Easter... the goddess Eastare

Christmas trees and wreaths... thors favorite tree, wreaths shun away the spirits of the cold.

it goes on and on and on.
