Fun story: after your initial issue, any further ID tags are purchased on your dime, usually at an off-post supplier. Thus, while you are required to have name and SSN on the tag, the religion field is really up to you.
Of course, you should keep in mind that said field is largely used so they know how you'd prefer handling of your remains and so forth. I doubt they'd give a Viking burial.

Thanks for the comprehensive answer, although I meant monotheistic as in only believing in Odin, not quite your interpretation. I would like to point out that not all monotheistic religions are exactly the same though, the Sikhs for example are expected to be active in protecting themselves and others.Johnny Reb said:
Well, you see, in the case of Christians, Jews, and Muslims, the Abrahamic followers don't often look towards "magic" or "casting" in a favorable light. Even then, she's not a normal wicca. She mixes a lot of her wicca principles in with something else. What it is, I won't say here, but the purposes of both the mixture and Wiccan itself has always been described to me as an "add-on" religion, by which they mean it builds upon an existing religion.Johnny Reb said:
I go to an average gym, where any homoerotic attempts to compare wangs are met with "OH GOD WHY DO YOU EXIST PLEASE SHOVE OFF D:" (True story where I was a spectator, I'm too modest to try anything like that). Then again, I'm Canadian, so maybe we're more mature about this kind of thing.Dags90 said:No, but I hear Jake Gyllenhaal gets pretty close to nekkid in it. I've heard your average gym has a fair amount of homoeroticism. It certainly doesn't get more Fruedian than trying to show other dudes how "big" you are.usmarine4160 said:It's the men's department
In all seriousness it is the most homoerotic organization I've ever been in. Ever watched Jarhead?
I feel as insulted from this post as you must feel when one confuses Norse Paganism with other forms of Paganism.Johnny Reb said:
First off, neither Satanism nor Wicca perform human sacrifice. Only the most outlandish and frowned upon forms of Satanism even think it's something okay, but even then they won't do it. I will admit most organized theistic Satanic or Luciferian groups are filled with wack-jobs, but a majority form no alliance with such groups and work alone or with a small group of friends, and at that an even bigger are atheistic, and those are probably the most tolerable of the groups anyway.
Second, Wicca and Satanism are very different. Wicca is about returning to the goddess and becoming one with her again. Satanism(or more so left-hand path religions) are about separating one's self from the universe and attaining godhood. While the goals are slightly similar in the terms of becoming a god, the means are different, as Satanists wish to become their own, but Wiccans wish to come together.
Third, devil worship is hardly excepted by any religions. Satanists hate the term "devil" and also don't worship their gods, just respect them as one would a superior.
Finally, you don't have to be Wiccan or Satanic to perform magic. Magic is a practice of it's own, and there are even Odinist forms of magic, so while you yourself might not practice it, that doesn't color the religion as a whole. Also, just because one practices magic doesn't mean they aren't "normal" either.
That's wicced, dude.AngelOfBlueRoses said:

Probably the best thing I've seen in years. It's a rainbow bridge to a mead hall where fallen warriors eat and drink before going off to fight.
At least I think that's what it is. It's fucking awesome.
I don't see much of that, either. Everyone seems painfully aware that it's homoerotic.Dags90 said:

ok i also apologize to you. i will confess to being ignorant towards such matters and i was speaking out of my ass. my frustrations got the better of me and in the future i will strive to do my research before i make a fool of myself.klaynexas3 said:
short answer: because it is in my blood and its what feels right in my heart.El Dwarfio said:
long answer: because being told my entire life by the parents and the catholic community as a whole that i was an abomination against their god for being gay was kind of a bummer. a suicide inducing bummer. But even though i was a catholic for my entire life i can say that i was not once very happy with it. i always had an empty feeling inside. even when i met a bunch of gay Christians i still felt distant. So i looked back east, to my ancestral homeland. to the faith to my ancestors. a faith over 8000 years old and rich with a proud history. hope that answered your question
