May venture to say Many things about and i will not dignify any of them with a but they should know that betraying my word of Honor is not something i would do for any As to letter writers statements about Beautiful women knowing the needs of soldiers for morale Quick get the ugly women out of the hospitals Samantha k Nichols Camp Iraq everyone has a Bias id be the first to agree that the june 18 letter pagans dont belong in Chapel was a poorly knee Jerk reaction on the part of its i can Only shake my head in at the num Ber of people who went on the rampage Over even More amazing is the common thread that runs among them the a self proclaimed is repeatedly accused of being narrow mind de and am i the Only one who finds this ridiculous not sure where in going with this ill everyone has a we Call them Opin a who wrote in to attack this letter writer clearly displayed their own Antichrist an Bias in doing the Bible leaves no ambiguity when it comes to right and and that bugs its no

higher Standard than their own de enough with the inane the letter writers my Ide als Are clearly Superior to yours because i am unbiased and i say there living in denial about their own they dont like christianity it probably never occurred to any of these writers that just christians Are so vocal not because were but because were tired of watch ing the people for whom we care suffer Gordon Childs Iraq respecting beliefs of others first and i would like to thank stars and stripes for running the june 11 article pagans resist keeping the Faith to themselves in the Mideast it brings a common misconception into the open for next i would like to respond to the letter pagans dont belong in the writer fails to realize a few first the article is about a group in now last i heard if you were below a certain rank you cant drive a so maybe the Chapel is a convenient location for the As the letter you see Many different symbols from Many a Chapel is a place of worship for those faiths including those practice by wiccan and we respect other religions and we would not do or say anything to Bash those i find it very hard to believe that so called christians cant open their minds a Little More than their is it so hard to respect us As a religion As we re Spect those of other religions this has nothing to do with spiritual As the letter writer it have everything to do with respect and open True christians would know that the Bible says love thy pagans and wiccan Are As close to a neighbor As you All Brian Whisenhunt Camp Iraq the role of religion once the discussion
