If you want to see how Christians treated Native Americans in Maine, the documentary Dawnland, provides plenty of evidence.

I have no idea where this is from, but I love it. Also the name of the town!

White Supremacist Ideas Have Historical Roots In U.S. Christianity ...Trump is a tree grown from that supremacist root. He proved that in tonight's debate.

God give rights????

Love it!!

So very yes

Back when the "War on Christmas" was a new thing, I told a customer "Happy Holidays!" He grumbled, "Can't you be bothered to say Merry Christmas?" I replied, "Oh, of course. Happy Chanukah!"

Yes, Yes, Yes. The real war is that on science.

In yoga, it is the Indian sign for "Namaste" meaning "I bow to you". It is performed in the heart chakra, but is not a prayer.

I read once that the christian act of putting hands together for prayer comes from offering one's hands to be bound in submission. But it seems to actually be a near-universal gesture of humility and social connection.

👍👍❤️👍.

That was refreshing. I'm usually a first day early voter, but the lines were insane (hopefully that's good news!)

Worth posting twice, Alice.

Got the creepiest letter in the mail yesterday. It was from the local Jehovah Witnesses. They have a church a couple of blocks from my house. It was a handwritten letter, pushing the "you need to turn to our sky daddy when times are bad" bullshit and it was addressed to me personally.

I don't know how the hell they got my name, but it ticked me off to no end. I was fuming about this stupid letter until my daughter pointed out that it was addressed to me, or current occupant. For some reason that struck me as weird enough to be funny. At least I got a chuckle before shoving it into the shredder.

Yeah. I don't go to their house and tell them how misguided they are and I want them to give me the same courtesy. Won't happen. Most of them are so arrogantly convinced of their righteousness that can't comprehend that many people think they're flaming idiots. I am one of those people.

Weird, isn't it, Wren44? I don't know anyone who belongs to their church, so they had to have bought a neighborhood mailing list. I find all those cults creepy, and would like them to just leave me in peace.
