It's a sign from God that there's hope for the next generation!!! Anyone who uses a yardstick like "a pissed off Ned Flanders on crack" should learn about Wonkette.

Fun fact: the golden years for witch hunts in England (and elsewhere in Europe) was after the Catholics had been replaced by the Protestants. In fact, some of the most determined witch-hunting took place in Cromwell's England.

Sexually abused is there in my list of abuses that they suffered. But that abuse, while horrific, was just a part of that greater pattern. It was all about control of them by the Christian whites, no matter what form that control took.

If it isn't railing against "Papists," especially the filthy Irish, it isn't Truly Christian.

Also, Newton stuck stilettos in his eyes and stared at the sun to study optics, and wrote much more about Biblical exegesis and calculating the return of Christ than he did gravity. He also rejected the Trinity. Heretic!

Ah, Christianists. They're special, aren't they? I'm so happy and privileged to have grown up in their midst. How about this: When Jesus broke all those Laws of Moses during His ministry, He was actually fulfilling them. This is logic. And we need inquire no further into the matter.

Just wondering: Is <i>World History and Cultures In Christian Perspective, 2nd Ed.</i> published by The Onion?

If not, then it's impressive how the "authors" managed to write so many actual words (stupid words, granted) given they spend 98% of their waking hours obsessing over geys and buttsecks.
