I don't think people keep in mind
how many wonderous cultures
have been stomped out
and erased by Christianity
In Norway the Christians
tried to burned all the records of the
native culture.
They moved a church
from an unconfrontation position
to directly in the middle
of a native sacred circle
then put up an iron cross
defacing the spots of old gods
forcing ideas onto the unwanting
it's haunting
and scares the **** out of me
that so many people cannot see
or will not see
the evils done for someone who
hasn't ever, ever shown his face
No man can win my battles
or erase my sins for me
that's my right,
that's my fight
Jesus may have died on a cross
but I didn't ******* ask him to.

My point is Christianity wasn't a choice for many people. I didn't choose to believe in it, yet my money says "in god we trust" the pledge of allegiance had me pledging myself to something I didn't want. And to think, I barely know anything of the cultures that were here before, and the things I do know are strongly stereotyped by media and even in school....
I'd also like to note that there are plenty of good, wonderful Christians and they did not choose to stomp out cultures. I guess I am mad at the past, and some of the present. I believe people of all religions or ideals can be amazing, and there is something to learn from all cultures.
