The Atheist Rabbi
Bryan Fischer usually confines his imbecilic remarks to women, gays, Muslims and immigrants. A couple of weeks ago he extended them to Native Americans. On his internet outpost of wingnuttery he wrote about how Pocahontas had converted to Christianity:
It’s arresting to think of how different the history of the American settlement and expansion could have been if the other indigenous peoples had followed Pocahontas’s example. She not only recognized the superiority of the God whom the colonists worshipped over the gods of her native people, she recognized the superiority (not the perfection) of their culture and adopted its patterns and language as her own.
In other words, she both converted and assimilated. She became both a Christian and an American…. She melded into European and Christian civilization and made her identity as a Christian and an Englishman her primary identity….
Had the other indigenous people followed her example, their assimilation into what became America could have been seamless and bloodless. Sadly, it was not to be.
One response on his blog said this:
As a Native American Christian woman, I will pray for you because God loves you. You have an evil heart and you need to repent.
I’m not down with the “God loves you,” but she sure knows an evil heart when she sees one.
Here he is on his radio show saying a whole lot more stupid shit about Native Americans:
