       @phil_stevens I must admit to being perpetually baffled by the adherence of many colonised indigenous people to the religion of their colonisers. Seems like the 'horse they rode in on' is at least as worthy of indigenous wrath. Hell, I despise it, and I can't claim ancestral colonial oppression/persecution (at least not within living memory)!
