Would that not piss of Jesus? It came to me after watching the pope rap from WKUK.

    I’m Indigenous Canadian and my parents were victims of the Residential School system in Canada in the 50s, 60s … residential ‘schools’ which were literal torture centers for Indigenous children run by Christian organizations.

    From my point of view … Christian religion is bad as a whole.

      I’m very sorry about what happened to your parents and in turn the effects these schools had on you and your family. From everything I’ve heard the Canadian government has treated the indigenous people terribly.

      Nothing in Jesus’s teachings or the New Testament says “Running torture centers is what you should do”.

      There are a lot of bad people who want to claim what they’re doing is what God told them to do because it makes it easier to get away with or easier for them to stomach themselves.
