Ummm…Polly? Polly?
24 September 2004 by Bob Ah, the loving southern xian community. They’re so friendly and warm and welcoming — unless you’re not a xian, in which case you’re totally fucked with.
In late July, Wynne [a Wicca priestess] won a decision from the 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Virginia ordering Great Falls not to invoke the name of Jesus Christ during prayers before its Town Council meetings. She said the prayer excludes non-Christians like her.Wynne said she has endured escalating harassment from townspeople hostile to her religion and her lawsuit.
That harassment, according to Wynne and police reports, recently included someone�s breaking into her home and beheading one of her beloved parrots, an African gray she named �Little One.� A note attached to the bird�s body read, �You�re next!�
There ya go. Just makes me all warm and fuzzy inside.
