Portlanders of all stripes have opened their mailboxes in the past week to find, to their surprise, an unsolicited copy of The Great Controversy.
The 473-page paperback book authored by the founder of the Seventh-day Adventist Church promises to tell the “untold story behind the Vatican’s rising influence in America.” It was written in 1858, and is now being mass distributed by a 34-year-

wondering how far your tolerant Paganism goes.
I am not totally opposed to other religions. I was raised as a Christian. I have known people from just about any religious tradition
you can name and liked some of them. BUT, as practiced, many religions
tend to be toxic. Any religious material that is thrust on me when I
wasn't looking for it is likely to end up in the trash. When I find
religious material that was randomly scattered around I'm likely to
behave like someone who is concerned about the environment I live in and place it in an appropriate receptacle.

similarly targeted due to its crime problems. The nonprofit’s CEO,
Dwight Hall, explained his reasoning for the mass mailings: “The
biggest thing is [the donors] can help somebody to have a better way of >>> life. That’s the whole reason for this,” he said.
Better in what way, though? What succor can Portlanders troubled by
random dog attacks and squatters’ den fires hope to take from The Great
Controversy, written by Ellen G. White? The book purports to be a
consideration of the growing influence of the Catholic Church on
American life (a spicy topic in 1858) before pivoting to White’s
contention that the most violent divide among Christians will soon be >>> whether the Sabbath falls on Saturday or Sunday."

But, but, but, I don't even live in Portland, and I'm a heathen who
can't decide if everyday is a sabbath day, or none of them. After I
glanced at it to see what it was about I tossed my copy in the trash. Where it belonged.

wondering how far your tolerant Paganism goes.
I am not totally opposed to other religions. I was raised as a
Christian. I have known people from just about any religious tradition
you can name and liked some of them. BUT, as practiced, many religions tend to be toxic. Any religious material that is thrust on me when I wasn't looking for it is likely to end up in the trash. When I find religious material that was randomly scattered around I'm likely to
behave like someone who is concerned about the environment I live in and place it in an appropriate receptacle.

But it’s okay for the LGBTQABCLMNOPXYZ community to thrust their BS on all of us who aren’t looking for it. Go crack open a cold Bud Lite and rethink your unexplainable allegiance to the terminally sick liberal nut cases.
