    I saw WA and my dumb ass thought Washington State (USA).

    Swap “aboriginal” for “native American” and it still may hold true. Lots of fucked up forced assimilation centers.

      We (Western Australians) get it - same thing happens to us often when Washington State is mentioned.

    That abbot seems a decent bloke. Didn’t shy away from what happened, didn’t fob off the journo. Answered the questions openly and honestly and was encouraging the idea of ground penetrating radar being employed to find graves they don’t know about yet.

    But of a sea change from Church peeps hiding stuff and being hostile to the media. More of this, please.

    Christians: Thou shalt not kill

    Also Christians: Let’s mass murder a bunch of kids

      I think the meaning is to not murder, so not “wrongfully” kill. There were quite instances even in the bible where the Israelites did kill “rightfully”, starting with wars.

      So, as long as you just make it legal, it’s alright to genocide people.

      Then he went up from there to Bethel; and as he was going up by the way, young lads came out from the city and mocked him and said to him,“Go up, you baldhead; go up, you baldhead!”

      When he looked behind him and saw them, he cursed them in the name of the LORD. Then two female bears came out of the woods and tore up forty-two lads of their number.

      God: I fucking love killing children.
