Real history requires you to understand what people believed in the past, not what you currently believe, and not what somebody in a different culture believes.

My point was that Mennonite has different traditions than what you are used to, thanks to a couple of preachers in Switzerland in the 1600s.

Which particular Sky God are we supposed to pray to?

The one that sometimes answers prayers and sometimes doesn't, of course.

While we're on the topic, it seems to me the height of arrogance - or thoughtless tribalism - to think that all the invisible creatures and magic tricks claimed by your own religion are real and true, whereas all the invisible creatures and magic tricks claimed by other religions are just stuff someone made up.

Comment another way around internet blockage (Score 1) 120

Known VPN services have identifiable server addresses that can be blocked. Instead, you can set up a cheap raspberry pi (or other) at your home and use an encrypted SSH connection to that [raspberry pi] from far away. Then turn on your SOCKS proxy (part of WiFi Details on Macintosh) and check to see that your IP address shows to the world you access as that of your raspberry pi. I do this all the time, including right now. It also helps to watch sports events.
