Our nation still has a lot to answer for

Can someone out there try to explain to me why there hasn’t been hundreds — if not thousand or even millions of people — world wide denouncing their affiliation to the Catholic church.

Reading the horrifying news of late that gets morbidly worse by the hour, about all the kids buried in the unmarked graves gives one a feeling of complete and utter staggering disbelief. The then governments might have built the socalled schools, but it was the Catholic church with its priests and nuns that administered the lethal ongoing punishment, they ran the torture chambers with complete non-culpable impunity.

And now adding insult to injury (and as always quick to jump on the bandwagon), we have our own prime minister suggesting that the “inevitable slow to react’” Pope offer an apology on Canadian soil to the Indigenous peoples.

Really? Might I suggest its a little late for that Justin, a forced apology at this late stage would be more of an egregious insult to those people and their families,

The time is long past where we in Canada can stand tall and feel righteous on the world stage, we as a nation have a lot to answer for and a lot of ground to make up, we have severely wronged a whole nation of people who had all their inherent rights taken away from them, can anyone out there begin to imagine what it must have been like by having your children, your culture, your language, all your rights all taken away from you! It defies any reasonable comprehension.

I have said it before, it doesn’t matter which of the so-called “Good Books” you follow, the results and effects don’t differ or change.

Religion, the ultimate con job. Religion is a world-wide scam. Thank God I am an atheist.
