This poetgirl on Instagram says some off the wall shit.
Some of these old bitches have totally lost their mind and just spread misinformation.
This is more than mildly infuriating for me but I wasn't quite sure where else to post this lol.
So we should display religious things of only the original occupiers of the land? I don't think she's going to be happy with the conclusion there.
I for one am all for this plan. Schools would be a lot cooler if they were decorated by the local Native American tribes.
Haven't you heard? "European whites" are actually natives now. That's literally what those fascists on Jubilee said and were cheering for.
They will just change the reality if we let them.
Christians fought for the land? You are talking about the genocide of native Americans? The same ones that owned slaves?... Yeah ok, I understand why YOU like them so much now...
About 20-30% of the people enslaved and deported to the US were Muslims.
The "Christians" brought Islam to North America by force.
My mom once asked if my Jewish girlfriend celebrated Thanksgiving. When I scoffed, she reminded me that there weren't any Jews on the Mayflower.
I reminded her that there weren't any Catholics either.
Nice. You gave her the burrrnn. Good job. We need to really start correcting much of this type of misinformation out there when people say it one day many many more will believe it.
It's a fight against windmills. There's a certain type of person who's just totally resistant against learning new stuff. They got their opinion and that's truth and screw everything else.
You might correct one thing, but by the time you did that they already dug up three new pieces of garbage.
It's so frustrating.
Muslims have a long and proud history of serving this country with honor and distinction for centuries.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muslims_in_the_United_States_military
The first country to recognize the US was Morocco, an overwhelmingly Muslim nation then, and before then, and now. And for that long-lasting support, real Americans suggest they don't belong here.
Yes. I have served with some.
Also, let's not forget the interpreters we had that risked their lives to help us. Many we worked to bring back to the states. They are amazing people and I would choose any interpreter that I ever worked with over my own mom. My mom was horrible btw.
Yes. Sadly I know all about this and it hits pretty close to home for me.
They are pissing off a bunch of operators and such and that's never a good thing.

The Founders of this nation explicitly included Islam in their vision of the future of the republic. Freedom of religion, as they conceived it, encompassed it. Adherents of the faith were, with some exceptions, regarded as men and women who would make law-abiding, productive citizens. Far from fearing Islam, the Founders would have incorporated it into the fabric of American life.
"Nyeah nyeah, my god is better than yours" - some cunt failing to realize they worship the same god
aka an inexistant one
"If God truly does exist, he more so loves the atheist who questions the world around him than the Christian who blindly follows."
Thomas Jefferson
50% of the Founding Fathers were agnostic or atheist. My question is: why does she hate America?
I have met Muslims who fight for America. Let's see her military service that she's so proud of
Lots of folks in the US don’t really have an understanding of religion as a separate thing from nationality.
They think of “being Christian” as “being like the other white people in my neighborhood growing up”. End of thought.
So drinking beer, watching football, and hating taxes are all “Christian things” to them.
So when they say “Christians — and only Christians — died for this country”, they’re 100% correct, according to their understanding of “being a Christian”. Cuz to them it basically just means “being an American”.
There’s really no way to convince them otherwise. It’s like telling someone that Velcro is really called “hook and loop”.
You’re basically saying: Christians don’t read the bible, they just act like their peers and all the bad habits that can go with that.
wellllllll...
indigenous people did, are you ok to show their spirituality in schools? I am sure there will be mass conversions lol
I just don't want their pedophile religion forced on me and my kids. Full stop.
.... which one?
Yes.
Are we talking about the Christians who very explicitly opposed the concept of a religious state? The ones who put that concept front and center in their Bill of Rights?
God, fucking Christians. We need a slur for them or something so badly. I'm so sick of them.
I prefer the term "Christian" (as a slur)
I started trying it out, it doesnt have the same zip as like, cross licker or whatever
We always called them bible thumpers
Evangelicals
The world is full of idiots. Save your sanity and ignore them.
Instructions unclear, ran off into the woods and ignored everyone
You're doing it right.
"If Muslims don't like it, they should return to their native countries!" I cry, as I rubber stamp another billion dollar check to bomb the Levant.
People don't read. Paraphrasing:
Jesus (J): "Why would you call me 'good'? Only the Father is good."
Muhammed (M): "Our Lord has decreed mercy upon Himself, so to anyone who commits sin out of ignorance and then repents and amends, He is Forgiving, Merciful."
J: "It's easier* for a camel to go through the eye of the needle than it is for a rich man to enter Heaven."
M: "Those who hoard gold and silver and don't spend it in the cause of God, give them news of a painful retribution."
J: "You have been told 'do not murder, for whoever murders will be judged for it', but I tell you anyone who is angry and insults their brother will be judged for it too."
M: "The righteous are those who suppress their anger and pardon the people. God loves the good doers."
I know you're paraphrasing and probably from memory, but you have one inparticular completely backwards- It is EASIER for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter heaven. Meaning, of course, a camel cannot pass through the eye of a needle, and therefore a rich man will never get into heaven, because in order to get rich he must have been selfish and greedy, which is ungodly. (I'm a heathen, so idfk what I'm talking about, but I learned this proverb from my religious ex-partner, and I think it's lovely)
I bet her poetry is ground breaking. I love God God loves me I love flowers God loves me!
Every time someone tells me about the ten commandments, I ask them to name all ten. They can never name all ten. On the flip side, if somebody starts talking about UBI they can usually say what all three letters stand for.
I'm guessing that no one ever copied her homework at school
