Less nutjobs in Sweden, please.
ie complete rubbish.
yet they seem to think its OK to vilify women and to demand the right to beat children in school ( yes still legal to beat a child with a stick in christian and jewish schools in australia ) I mean beat. a cane rod as thick as a grown mans finger wielded with force.
they demand the right to deny children access to freely available information as long as possible to give them more time to brainwash them into believing the world is flat and that a broken down old man has a direct phone line to a god. it is laughable. its beyond laughable. its absurd in the extreme.
still here in sickla kaj I have to put up with a loud bell ringing every half hour over the weekend for half a dozen loons.
unbelievable.
we dont have to lighten up. religion is a cancer that needs to be eradicated and replaced with the truth.

Kalle Anka must die!
Play ouija board can cause severe psychological problems. This is real!! Children are easily influenced and this game can be dangerous for them.
Rampant abuse happened at these school and only recently has the Canadian govt. made an apology and offered financial compensation to those who attended. Meanwhile the Catholic church has not apologized to First Nations and probably never will. The grip they have on the older generation is cult-like and if any of the younger generation speak out, they are chastised. Quite frankly, I think we should wait until the very last baptised Catholic passes away in our territories and burn every last Catholic church down and forever ban them from our territory.
The Catholic church was ten times more efficient in the destruction of First Nations than the US Calvary and the Spanish conquistadors combined on their best day.
Swedes do yourselves a favour, and ignore this nutjob priest.
Christmas is a very trivial and commercialized thing. I felt it even before going addicted to Satan.
