I'd rather worship a tree than Jesus tbh. Trees give us oxygen.

This just shows that people underestimate the value of worshiping trees.

Anyone who thinks slavery was ever a good thing should let someone treat them like property for a week, and see how nice it is.
Poe's Law: "Without a winking smiley or other blatant display of humor, it is impossible to create a parody of Fundamentalism that SOMEONE won't mistake for the real thing."

Skeptical me looked this one up - I couldn't believe she said something so dumb. Yep. It's a true story. As Snopes said "The stupid, it burns".
I've been thinking a lot more lately about saying sayonara to the US. The way things are going, it's more likely than not that I'll exit the country in the future.

She might be worshipping a tree where the Slave endorsing Jesus never had any influence. Trees never roasted anyone alive .....eerrr....deliberately!
