Hell in a Handbasket

I am fairly confident by now that most everyone is aware of how I feel about organized religion.

All organized religion.

It is the institutions and their policies that I dislike.

The people that are allowed to abuse with impunity being moved hither and yon to protect not the vulnerable but the priests/pastors who perpetrate these crimes.

The horrors done in the name of god makes my lip curl and if this was the wild west guess who would be wearing a black and white hat?

A gunslinger with a conscious and a need to avenge damages done.

Wandered off there a little bit but the point is I dislike religion.

Now saying that one of my regular customers who is so sweet and kind is an associate pastor in my city.

I shop for him ever couple of weeks when he has a lot on his plate.

He has a growing family and given his position it affords him time to spend with his kids as they are growing.

I think this is awesome.

He has been very vocal with regards to getting vaccinated.

That this is how in-house services will be able to recommence by getting vaccinated.

He shows up in my news headlines every so often.

And when he does I read it and I smile because you can feel his genuine caring for his parishioners.

The province did a series of ads to reach out to those who are vaccine hesitant using various pastors and priests to get the message out there.

I think this is awesome.

This is about caring about the wellbeing of the people that you tend to and care for.

This is about not wanting to watch people die and officiating over a funeral where people cannot mourn together.

Where comfort cannot be given.

In other words grow the fuck up get vaccinated and let’s get back to a new version of normality that we are going to be living with.

That is me.

He is much nicer.

Again white hat/black hat kinda gal.

So imagine my surprise this morning when I woke up to another headline about my favorite pastor.

A negative one.

Well rather not a negative article about him but the fallout he has had to face since making the ad.

He is going to hell.

He is horrible.

He is part of the conspiracy.

He took money. (He did not)

How could he sell out his faith like this?

He does not respond with anger.

He has been attacked on his personal FB page to point where he had to change privacy settings.

He does not hang up on people.

He is getting angry and hate filled emails and voice messages.

He feels that openness and talking are the way to go.

I am not so kind.

Everyone has a right to an opinion.

Everyone has a right to voice that opinion.

What everyone does not have the right to do is decide that they and they alone know what their god is telling them and everyone else is wrong.

Wrong.

Wrong.

WRONG!

Christianity at its best.

As long as you do as I say and act as I want my love and adulation is yours.

As soon as you contradict or offer up a differing opinion boom hammer is lowered and you are now a denizen of hell.

Out of all the hate filled messages he received that one really really gets to me.

He is going to hell for believing in protecting those he loves and protects.

He is going to hell for trying to save those around him.

He is going to hell for trying to educate others.

He is straight up going to hell.

What I find funny is that all those who have called and threatened him; all who have stood up and told him he is going to hell might want to sit back on down because hate and vile filled words are the way of satan to paraphrase while love and acceptance is the way of god.

Seems to me that these days it is all ass backwards.

Picture is my own

A Reckoning is Coming

***I am not the creator of the list that I have included. It was compiled by Sheena Kennedy from what I can tell.

Originally posted on FB and I copied it.

There is extreme violence in the body of the text that I have copied and pasted here.

It can be a trigger.*****

Children.

These children should have grown up running with friends.

These children should have grown up learning about their ancestral ways.

These children should have grown to lead their communities.

These children should have never ever lain in cold unmarked graves to shelter their abusers.

These children were ripped from their families.

These children were erased.

These children were beaten and viciously abused by people who thought that because they were white they were better.

These children deserve to have their names spoken.

These children deserve justice to be brought to the perpetrators.

And in this I am including the RCMP officers that looked the other way.

I feel the world needs to read these accounts.

I feel that we need to stand and be forced to hear what was done in the name of god.

1. Nine year old Vicky Stewart of the Tsimshian nation was killed at the United Church residential school in Edmonton on April 9, 1958 by school matron Ann Knizky, who hit Vicky over the head with a two by four. The RCMP refused to press charges against either Knizky or the United Church, and threatened Vicky`s family with imprisonment if they pursued the matter.

2. Margaret Sepass was raped and then beaten to death by an Anglican priest named John Warner on December 5, 1969, at St. Michael’s Indian school in Alert Bay, British Columbia. Margaret was nine years old. Her burial site is unknown and John Warner was never charged.

3. On January 5, 1938, Albert Gray was beaten to death by Reverend Alfred Caldwell of the United Church of Canada when Albert took a prune from a jar without permission. Albert was eleven years old. His body was buried in secret behind the Ahousat Indian school and Alfred Caldwell was never charged.

4. On December 24, 1946, the same Principal Caldwell kicked 14 year old Maisie Shaw to her death down a flight of stairs at the United Church`s Alberni residential school, as witnessed by Harriett Nahanee. The RCMP covered up the murder.

5. On April 3, 1964, Richard Thomas was sodomized and then strangled to death by Catholic priest Terence McNamara at the Kuper Island Indian school. Richard was buried in secret in an orchard south of the school, and Terence McNamara, who is still alive, was never charged.

6. Elaine Dick, age 6, was kicked to death by a nun in April of 1964 at the Squamish Indian school in Vancouver. The RCMP refused to press charges when requested by the victim`s family.

7. Daniel Kangetok, age 4, was infected with an untreatable virus as part of a Defense Research Board experimental program funded by the Canadian military. He was left to die at the Carcross Anglican residential school in the Yukon, in February of 1971.

8. David Sepass, age 8, was pushed down some stairs by a priest at the Kuper Island catholic school and left to die, early in 1958.

9. A newborn Cree baby was burned alive by a senior priest at the Catholic Muscowegan Indian school near Regina in May of 1944, as witnessed by Irene Favel. The priest was never charged.

10. Susan Ball, age 5, starved to death in a closet at the United Church Edmonton residential school during the winter term of 1959, after being confined there by a church matron for speaking her own language.

11. Pauline Frank, age 8, died from medical experimentation performed by Canadian army researchers at the Nanaimo Indian Hospital in March of 1972. Her body was buried in secret on the grounds of the hospital, which is still restricted military property.

12. Albert Baptiste, age 9, died from electric shocks from a cattle prod wielded by a catholic priest at the Mission residential school over Christmas in 1951.

13. Nancy Joe, age 14, died from involuntary drug testing by military doctors at the Nanaimo Indian hospital in the spring of 1967.

14. Lorraine white, teenager, was gang raped by United Church residential school staff and left to die, Port Alberni, summer of 1971.

15. Eighteen Mohawk children, all under the age of sixteen, were shot to death by Canadian soldiers outside Brantford, Ontario, in the summer of 1943, as witnessed by Rufus McNaughton. The children were buried in secret in a mass grave.

16. Johnny Bingo Dawson, an eyewitness to crimes in Anglican residential schools and a leader of protests against these criminal churches, died of injuries from a police beating after being threatened by them, in Vancouver on December 9, 2009. Official cause of death was alcohol poisoning, despite the absence of alcohol in his blood.

17. Ricky Lavallee, the eyewitness to Bingo’s beating by the Vancouver police, died of a blow to his chest in early January of 2011.

18. Harriett Nahanee, the first eyewitness to a residential school murder to go public, died after mistreatment in a Vancouver jail, February, 2007.

… and more than 50,000 others, all of them children.

No-one has ever been charged or tried under Canadian law for any these killings. And the criminal government and churches responsible for this mass murder have been legally absolved of any responsibility for them under Canadian law.

Nothing has been healed. Nothing has been reconciled. Justice has been exterminated as completely as these innocent victims.

**Pictured is Victoria Stewart 1949-1958**

I have been unable to make it through the whole list without crying.

I have been unable to read through the whole list because of the rage that burns and simmers.

Never have I ever wanted to be an avenging demon more than I do as I type this.

Y’all think I am joking but I am not.

If I could be in charge of the circle of hell that is in process of being built for the pedophiles and violent animals that perpetrated these crimes I would apply for it in an heartbeat.

I will fight the legions of hell to run that circle.

And everyone knows how well I do a job when I put my mind to it.
