I feel like I really got shafted when they were handing out spirit animals.

Ugh. Chakotay was one of the reasons I stopped watching Voyager. I know I'm oversensitive, but dammit, I hate Star Trek Indians. Every other human culture has evolved to the point of jumpsuit-wearing rationalism except Indians, who still dress like an episode of F Troop and go on vision quests.

Redface in television and movies still happens, too. It's really stupid. There's a boatload of native American actors out there who can't get jobs but Whitey McWhiteface can slap on a headdress, some face paint, and use pidgin English all while making six figures or more from it.
Oh believe me, I know. And Indians were so in in the 90s. Once another kid found out I was half Indian it was all spirit animal and vision quest questions, and I'm like, there are like three tribes that have spirit animals and vision quests and mine ain't one of them.
And even if my tribe did have them, I'm an atheist, so I wouldn't have believed in them anyway.
My spirit animal is an angry goth teenager.

Nothing like a racial stereotype to bring out your inner spirit animal.Oh believe me, I know. And Indians were so in in the 90s.

I'm pretty sure my spirit animal is a box of nachos.
That's because, as we all know, God is English. And he speaks with a very posh accent.

Morgan Freeman's accent isn't posh.
My girlfriend does not find this funny.
Yes Chakotay was deeply embarrassingly dumbly offensively written. But the character as a person was kinder at religion than the christians we've seen in this thread which was my only point. Well the reason that was my point was because one of the "you're gonna get it! you're wrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrong!" gloaters had Chakotay in their user name which struck me as strange, incongruous, clashy..
I am of course exactly like a teacake in everything I post.

guess Alissa White-Gluz would be a heck of a demon then..
Using a Ouija board doesn't really offer anything more than a reinforcement of human anatomy. If you place your finger on top of a table and try to hold it as still as possible you will notice that it will vibrate/move slightly, no matter how still you try to keep it. Get a group of people doing that to the same object then it may appear to move even though none of the participants are consciously making it move.
I won't belittle people's own individual beliefs, as the things that various religions and sacred books/scriptures say are good in principle, they talk about peace, love, etc, and can offer people great comfort and strength during trying times. That is good.
You have your beliefs and the way you live your life, whilst I have mine. I won't rub it in about how amazing sex with another man is so long as you don't try to convert me.

Key word; educated...
That's one of the reasons i'm an atheist...
I always forget to wait for grace when I visit friends who do that.
"Your parents are lying assholes, because their parents were lying assholes, is why you believe in Jesus."

Does that include me?
For the record I'm one fourth Native. Rez born tribal member. When People find out they feel a need to recount on how the indigenous people have suffered as if we didn't already know. I had one guy ask me to give him an Indian name. I refrained from telling him he already had a name and all I was doing was giving him a nickname.
The oddest thing is people who make mention of how much worse the suffering of the Natives was than that of African Americans. It's not a contest people.
No mention of traditonal Native religion though...although my family is of the Wolf Clan.
