Seems to me that no one should be stopped from identifying their religion on their headstones. There was a soldier, who was Wiccan, and he was buried in Arlington cemetery. His family fought for him to have a Wiccan symbol put on his headstone. They got it, too.Shaknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10345672.post-45838466061186866922013-10-19T17:17:02.935+01:002013-10-19T17:17:02.935+01:00I think this is fine, as long as they understand t...I think this is fine, as long as they understand the consequences of their decision. They have now said that it is fine for Muslims, Jews, Wiccans, and even Pastafarians to enjoy their equal right to place their religious symbols on their headstones. They can't simply approve Christian symbols. I hope they enjoy their Pandora's box. I for one have no problem with it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10345672.post-73840945247113193562013-10-19T13:27:15.445+01:002013-10-19T13:27:15.445+01:00The fish is a well know Christian symbol.

One would think that if it was overly religious symbols they were against, they would have opposed the fish, not the name Jesus. However, if there ever is a place for a public religious symbol, I would think a headstone is such.Insolitushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09354419206006981620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10345672.post-85045214944811509322013-10-19T09:42:13.467+01:002013-10-19T09:42:13.467+01:00I'm fairly agnostic and I wouldn't care.
