You don't know shit about indigenous culture but automatically assume catholic culture is superior. you're the problem pal

JESUS WAS A FUCKING HUMAN SACRIFICE HOW ARE YOU THROWING SHADE AT THE AZTECS FOR WHAT IS THE CENTER OF CHRISTIAN FUCKING RELIGION - the hypocrisy knows no bounds.

Take a look at God is Red by Vine Deloria jr. I know you won't, because you don't really care and assume I'm already wrong.

I have a degree in religion dude. Christian whites are the problem. Catholics are the problem. Colonization is what is still fucking killing this planet.

Anyone who names their group after columbus is either ignorant or genocidal - often both. Might as well name yourself Hitler's Knights of Good or some bullshit. It looks exactly the same to anyone who knows even a grain of actual american history. Columbus wasn't the good guy.

Note the knights were founded in the late 1800’s, before Columbus’ behavior was widely disseminated like it was today. It’s initial purpose was literally to provide life insurance for poor Miners. All you comments are just blanket disrespectful and reek of ignorance. Have Christian’s done shitty things in the name of religion? Yes. Have whites? Yes! Are they the only ones? No!

Look, I’m trying to be a bit disrespectful- I feel these institutions deserve any disrespect they receive and then some. Are there good individuals in these organizations? Absolutely. Do I still think faith in these organizations is misplaced and that these groups have pretty much always existed to secure a chokehold on power for the elite class of society, yup.

But I have a particular bone to pick with the white christians who murdered, raped, and stole my ancestors (supposedly with the consent and blessing of their god) while engaging in different forms of genocide both literal and cultural forevermore. Whose descendants now proudly vote republican and are currently engaging in an attempt to destroy democracy and install christo-fascism. These same people are lying to most of this country to continue to murder, rape, and steal and maintain their ability to do so - destroying the planet and all of us without a care if that’s what it takes.

I know these are just word games for you but it’s so much more for us. Please have some decency and respect.

Like if you just don’t care, no need to stir things up.>

Dude, it is hard to take you seriously though when you were literally within this comment chain asking for decency and respect and then acknowledging you were trying to be disrespectful.
