Dammit I forgot what he did to Pluto haha
I take it back. I take everything back 🤣.
I understand what you're saying. Appreciate taking the time to reply. I was throwing Neil's name out because everyone knows him. Just think someone like him as our potus would be pretty damn powerful right about now.

I'm here. This is about the history for me. Most Christian holidays are based around Pagan traditions. From the Greeks (mistletoe) to the Vikings (Yol), the Gods still live through Christian eyes to this day. From Mars, to Thor... our ancestors lived through the Pagan Gods at some point. Sometimes it's as though I missed my time by a few thousand years. I relate more to the Norse Gods. My ancestors immigrated to North America in a fishing vessel from Norway. My great great great grandmother was one of the first to settle in Colorado. Of course near the mountains, where my grandmother says she feels at home the most. So do I.
Off topic, but I cannot imagine the knowledge lost due to Christianity (for example, not bashing just christian faith). Odin's ideology was based around sacrificing his eye for knowledge. He hung from a tree, wounded wounded by a spear, for wisdom. Paganism is (usually) based around the cosmos (science). Vikings sailed the east coast of North America 500 years before Columbus. Read that there may be evidence of a Viking presence as far south as South America. Don't you think Native American's would have annihilated Columbus if the first impressions of white people was that they're just mindless Viking pillagers? Think about it. Vikings traded with the Natives for some time before the Viking Age officially "ended". Probably continued afterwards. That was a diverse, welcoming, honorable culture. Every single group of people throughout history has had awful things like slavery, rape, pillaging etc.
Ohhhhh how I wish the Norse kept written records. Not just these (mostly) Christian accounts. I would love to be in the mind of people like Bjorn Ironside, or Erik the Red.
Point is...Be proud of who you are. Never hide it. I'm here. Thursday is my Sunday and I thank you all who read this. No matter who you are, or what your religion is.

That's it.
That's the message.
But really though...
Why not elect someone who understands that facts are facts regardless of what they want to believe? Such a taboo thought in our country.
