We cannot let religion be strong again.

Sick is different from evil. Sick is almost accidental. Evil is cruel, mean, corrupt, etc with intention.

So #1...they're not the same.

#2; If you're a demographer or a population biologist you don't even factor in evil...for example - is it evil or sick that female spiders and mantids eat their mates...or is it just an observable trait that they evolved to survive?

Proven fact; if you take any population of any organism...even plants....and overcrowd them...they take action to reduce the crowding. (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1501789/pdf/califmed00143-0080.pdf)

That's what's happened in Saskatchewan...and in 1930's Germany. And in 19th century America...and in Vietnam....and the Crusades....it's simply "population density" that's causing this.

This isn't sickness. Nor evil.

But it is a sign that more and more are competing harder and harder for less and less.

T.J. Malthus said it elegantly in 1812; "As the quantity of life (humanity) in any given area increases, the quality of life decreases.

And he said this when the earth was around 1 billion. Now we're increasing at the rate of 150 more births, than deaths, per minute.

Sorry to tell you...it's a natural reaction.

Most of them were beaten to death. Disgusting.

More evidence of the better (not) morality of religion.

Here's a link: First Nations finds 751 unmarked graves at Saskatchewan residential school site

Wounded Knee and other massacres were done in the public eye, the murder of children was done in private so much more heinous

And now the number is up to 750! I was remarking to a friend earlier that religion was the reason for all these deaths and many more!

What is even more reprehensible is the secrecy and covering up by the churches and state alike, because the government was complicit, and it wasn’t confined to Canada, it happened in many other countries. It happened to indigenous populations In Australia, and to children who were born to unmarried mothers in UK who were taken from them and shipped out to Australia by the UK government in collusion with the churches. Mass graves have been found on several sites in Ireland run by religious orders, where we already know about the cruel regimes of the nuns in the mother & baby homes and the horrors of the Magdalene Laundries. This was a large scale horror perpetrated on young woman and their children and those in a variety of vulnerable communities. The fact it was allowed to happen and actually officially sanctioned is what horrifies me most.

& there were similar 'schools' here in the States, too. Hell, one of the major streets in Phoenix is Indian School Road...forced "assimilation". Wouldn't doubt some investigation would find similar graves at many of these 'schools'.

It's the sickest
