Christianity really went down after 300 AD. Saints that weren't tortured or murdered! That's not my type of Saint.
Quality kept dropping so badly that
hundreds of saints disappeared altogether.
I'm still waiting for the axe to fall on that vile monster, Mother Teresa of Calcutta, though. Can't possibly happen too soon.

seriously, I do prefer St John Bosco, sainted for his work as an educator, or St Eloi, the most honest man of his times, to any saint that got the title merely for a willingness to withstand torture and death.

I taught at a Salesian school (the order started by Bosco). For all the relatively progressive features of his system, the large number of Salesian priests who are now convicted pedophiles (including one of our previous principals) gives the lie of any pretensions they may have for being valued educators...

Pederasty is a key factor in education, that's a feature the Church borrowed from ancient Greece.

New Zealand probably doesn't have anything about guns in their constitution though. Nor a well financed irrational army of dangerous constitutionolatrists to prevent them banning these weapons.

Kiwis are really into hunting, but that shouldn't be an issue - real hunters use serious, scoped bolt action rifles, not infantry style semi-automatics...

Yes but what if you're attacked by a vicious pack of possums. You need serious firepower then, not so?

I see people are turning in their weapons. Unless you're planning a mass shooting i don't see the point. Is it like changing your FB profile pic? Bit of virtue signaling?
Yeah well that's just, like, your opinion, man.
