Christianity might not be very useful and a waste of money, but we shouldn't defend dumbasses that go around burning buildings for fun.
They're doing it because of the genocide but ok
This won't help to give them reparations from the church, it only antagonizes them further.
What do you call 24 burned down churches?
A good start.
How many children do you think were buried under these churches? Didn’t it all start when the one was discovered to have remains?
They don't generally bury people under churches and I doubt they were breaking through and digging up church floors to hide the dead children when there's soft dirt right next to the church. But they were usually buried outside the residential school anyway.
I am not the person to speak with any authority on the subject but you should really look into the history of white imperialism in Canada. It's as awful as it sounds.
But what about all the missed taxes?
Treat indigenous people like shit for centuries? Don't be surprised if one day they decide to fight back.
2 were accidents, so 31 were.... Acts of God?
I'll see myself out.
When enough people stop believing in religion, churches will automatically self combust. Apparently Canada is doing well!
Maybe they should look under residential schools for the culprit, I’m sure they’re hiding down there wink wink.
"recent discoveries of potential burial sites at former residential schools may have lit the fuse" npi
On a different topic: how's the Norwegian-inspired black metal scene in Canada doing these days?
I got banned from Reddit for commenting this on a similar post:
"MOAR"
Yep! It's good work! We should burn the rest. All of them. Religion is cancer.
Seems like a good way to radicalize religious folks; surely wanton cruelty to those you disagree with has no downsides
Like I get hating religion, there's a lot there that's understandable to hate, but its worth considering if being vindictive towards people who's worldview you don't like is actually a practical strategy to improving the world. You're just gonna get new churches that are more dogmatic and convinced of their 'righteousness in the face of unknown evil'
Taking your anger out on the world is actually kinda bad for the world, who could have guessed
What’s wrong with this? Isn’t it “you’ll burn for your sins against gods creation”
Seems fitting to me idk
The lord works in mysterious ways
Church burnings in Norway was a thing in the 90s.
