I'd love to go around that ancient graveyard, and into that church for a good look around 👀

One of my favourite things to do in England is explore ancient churchyards.

Deeper meaning: 1. Destruction of western culture. Takeover and replacement of the Indigenous and long standing populations. Populations that immigrate to other places in search of a better financial life usually become untethered to their land, traditions and cultural roots as I am because my Father came to America after WW2 and did not want to have us learn Norwegian or its culture because he wanted to BE American. That is a feature not a bug in the plan. ( Makes me wonder how long the invaders into our countries will keep their cultural traditions and religious beliefs intact).

2. Make the local people doubt the veracity of their spiritual beliefs, both Christian and "Pagan" (old time religion some of it much older than the Proto-Indo-European ones where the cult of Wotan / Odin were relative newcomers).

I'm not a religious person but this article makes me sad.

For many Catholics, Protestants, etc., church buildings are special places. Maybe that is to do with their pagan roots, I don't know.

But those people won't be abandoned by God, that's for sure.

SEXism would have to be the fourth string I would say. All the churches are so based in male superiority. I love those ancient sites too. Some here in U.S. feel ancient. Thank you.
