What strikes me about this map is the low percentage of Aryan and genetically Aryan-adjacent people in Germany, and the high percentage of Aryans in various countries that Hitler wanted to invade or wipe out.

You can throw this out the window now with E-Learning. If the forecast even suggests a storm overnight schools will switch to e-learning by 9PM somedays in my parts.

It's still a fun map to study for a minute.

You are correct it is. I also despise e-learning.

Pursuant to the map just above, I dug a bit into the Pew study on relgiious belief and found this interesting table below. In it, 28% of Christians believe in reincarnation. The entire idea of reincarnation is, at least implicitly, rejected by the Bible. And yet, this.

It just goes to show that for a high percentage of people, their claim to being Christian is a cultural or political identity, and not a spiritual or religious identity. It also suggests that to them, their bible is merely a totem and not an actual guide, something to be wielded by too many of them as nothing more than a cudgel against their enemies.

And that’s why this thread is in the Political Forum. 😉

Origen, an early church father often credited with a major role in establishing the 'Canon' of the current Bible, and maybe the pre-eminent scripture authority of his day, came very close to an explicit belief in re-incarnation. One the reasons he is no longer on any currrent Church's 'must read' list. 😱

Another example that when we look back through the fog of 2000 years we many not being seeing what we think we do.

Also the number from Russia is interesting. For two reasons: 1st that a lot of non-European Russia is notationally Muslim, but apparently not very! And second - that Putin's projection of himself as the great defender of Orthodox tradition doesn't seem to be doing much for belief in the teachings of Russian Orthodoxy 🙄. Yeah - who would have guessed that?

By the way, here is the table showing the data on the map just above:

The funny part to me is, when I was a carpetbagger in Nebraska, I had the sidebar discussion with some coworkers about whether Michigan qualified as the Midwest. I said yes, of course it is; they insisted no, Michigan's an eastern state—partly because it's in the eastern time zone, and partly because Detroit itself just seemed like a rundown eastern city to them.

So imagine how pleased I am that among midwesterners ourselves, Michigan is considered more a midwestern state than Nebraska is!

Took me half a minute or so to figure out what they meant, but it's so kinda cool.

Most Americans cannot comprehend the size of the Great Lakes.

Each individual lake dwarfs the Chesapeake Bay. The Great Lakes collectively holds 3 times the amount of water than the Bay, for example

I was only 10. :-)

The North coast of Ohio along Lake Erie is really pretty neat. Put-in-Bay, Kelly's, North shore stuff, Cedar Point, etc. Then there is the gazillion dollar drive. From mid Ohio along the lake to downtown Cleveland to a ball game. The money along that stretch of highway is really impressive.

we always took route 2 to Cedar Point.  At the age of 16 friends and I decided to go.   We asked someone's dad how to get there, he said "75 to 2".  That stuck with me so it's always how we went.  I love those roads.
