(39,201 posts)Sanctimonious, arrogant, self-righteous assholes. How about some penance for what they did to my family? My mom was born in 1924 and was forced to go to an "Indian School" run by nuns before she was adopted by my grandparents. She never wanted to wear sleeveless outfits or swimming suits in public because she was self-conscious of the scars on her shoulders and upper back from the "discipline" meted out by those evil, vile "Brides of Jesus." What could a little 8-year-old girl do to deserve such punishment, you ask? She said, "Thank you" in Ojibwe instead of English, and other assorted "sins against Jesus." They were nothing but sadistic old perverts who got off on torturing children. And they wonder why only 4% of Native Americans identify as Christian. They're a cancer on this world. All evangelical and fundamental religions are. Fuck them all.
