Dutch vs. Danish

Yes, I don't want to hear another word about this so-called war between the Dutch and the Danish, as if the Nelsons were ever Danish and I was thrown to the Dutch. How utterly ridiculous. It would not be so hard for me to throw the Peter Nelsons to the Baptists, as if they were ever Pentecostal in the first place. Well, just because you were born in a Pentecostal family, that does not mean the only solution is to go Baptist. There could be plenty of other options other than Baptist if you really want to settle for something less. If you really cannot believe anything you could even be an atheist. I mean, that would be radical, but isn't radical an end in itself nowadays? Just be radical no matter how stupid that might be seems a common theme of our times. But when is stupid good or bad? Sometimes it is good to admit that we only started something, we only got something started and don't really know where it might lead in a few hundred years, give or take some, till Jesus comes. In the meantime, we cannot just pretend that we did not have something better than the Baptists. The Baptists were good but they were from Atlanta, Southern belle territory, so obviously we are not going to agree on every point of U.S. history and politics. They have their strongly voiced opinions but we never really cared that much about reenacting the Civil War. They just weren't that important to us. Of else if you are the Confederate Nelsons you might argue that the Baptists are from Detroit. Yes, it is just a straw man argument that just makes everyone confused about who is Dutch or Danish.
