Herkimer the Knight

Herkimer the Knight

Sir Black was a dark and stormy knight. He was reigning in the kingdom of the white knights in Russia; his rival kingdom, Camelpot, was in a time of turmoil. Sir Black had sent some men over to try to take over, and everyone was suspicious of one another.

Back in the medieval ages when knights roamed the countryside and protected their castels, there lived a stableboy named Herkimer. He always dreamed of being a knight in shining armor and winning the heart of a fair maiden by slaying a dragon.

His dream was to be like his idol, Sir Billy, who was the greatest of all knights in the kingdom. Sir Billy's claim to fame was first for slaying FIREEYES, the most feared of all dragons, and second for causing the demise of SNARVLEY, the evil sorcerer who put a spell on the princess causing her to turn into a troll (Billy lifted the troll spell while he was at it, and the princess gave him 100 porcupines to show her gratitude). The third reason was the fact that he invented silly putty.

Notes: The Myth of a Christian Nation

Myth of a Christian Nation

Pre Thoughts

  • Christianity is a myth: there is only individual interpretations of what has been passed down, influenced by history and culture. It's not possible to say that one is the "right" version. (Also see The Myth of the Christian Religion.)
  • Myth that US was originally a religious nation vs a secular nation with freedom of thought populated by a high % of Christians.
  • Myth that Christianity now is the same as it was in the 1700s.
  • Myth that Christianity was ever intended to be a political force.
