All right then.

Still doesn't stack up to the millions of people slaughtered for religious reasons though. Also; of course I realise that these were the excuses of the day to get people fired up into a murderous frenzy, but at least every religion is ambiguous enough that it can be twisted to suit violent purposes. I also have no doubt that people like Osama bin Laden or some of the Crusaders completely believed that what they were doing was right.

Anyway, atheism's not a religion, both atheists and theists who treat it as such as wrong.

No worries."

There was a tumblr post with links that made me think better of this film:
(it is a reply to another girl complaining about the film)

I am also a Native American woman and I belong to the Comanche tribe. Johnny Depp portrays Tonto, a fictional but Comanche character in his film. There was a Comanche adviser on set of this film to help them try and correctly portray the Comanche people even down to smaller details. (Notice in the film that the teepees have 4 poles instead of 3 that are commonly seen in films, that is the way the Comanche people built them.) Our tribe has actually adopted Johnny Depp into our tribe and has been extremely accepting of him and his film. He was even here in the fall for our annual Comanche fair (that I attended) and was even in our parade. Just a little over a week ago he came back here to premiere his movie for us and everyone has loved and enjoyed it. HE DID NOT PAY OFF OUR TRIBE. He has been widely accepted into our tribe and I do understand where you are coming from… But the fact is that he is playing a Comanche man and the Comanche people have no problem with it, so you shouldn’t be too upset over it because it is not directly effecting your tribe or your people.

I’ve also included a few links and until you can provide your own source links, please stop saying they paid off our tribe. Thanks.

I'm leaning more and more towards Spinoza's attitude; "God = nature". That seems to annoy both theists and atheists equally.

Also appropriate, considering recent talk about smug condescending atheists:

Baruch Spinoza, Political Treatise (1677) posted:

I have laboured carefully, not to mock, lament, or execrate, but to understand human actions; and to this end I have looked upon passions, such as love, hatred, anger, envy, ambition, pity, and the other perturbations of the mind, not in the light of vices of human nature, but as properties, just as pertinent to it, as are heat, cold, storm, thunder, and the like to the nature of the atmosphere, which phenomena, though inconvenient, are yet necessary, and have fixed causes, by means of which we endeavour to understand their nature, and the mind has just as much pleasure in viewing them aright, as in knowing such things as flatter the senses
