I digress from the Kris31280 bashing, but hopefully someone else will continue since she certainly does deserve it.
A few years back, when I served on a certain Aircraft Carrier in Norfolk, VA, I had a Wiccan in my division. Talk about someone who was way, way out there, I can’t even begin to recall all of the stories that he used to tell us about “his religion” as he used to call it. At the time, this dude was an E-3 and his biggest complaint was that he was not allowed to be the lay-leader for the Wiccan community onboard. He went so far as to have his high priestess call me and ask why he was being discriminated against. Fact was, rules required than any lay-leader be at least an E-5, display some level of leadership abilities and be responsible enough to carry out the required duties. This guy met none of those requirements, but still threw a hissy-fit because he felt cheated out of his rights to express his beliefs. He was also kicked out of Navy housing (after several warnings) for carrying out his ritual practices in the quarters. He would gather his family (including two very young boys) and “sacrifice” chickens in his kitchen sink. Now, if part of their creed is to do no harm, to yourself or others...this guy was missing that mark by a good margin. He bragged about having something like 16 tats and was really proud that 2 of them were done professionally. When I asked him who had done the others, he said “some big-tittied biker chick”. He also claimed to have many body piercings including a Prince Albert and Jacob’s ladder.
He finally got kicked out of the Navy and was headed back to Alabama to be a mortician. He was into the dark stuff, so probably a good fit.
