Native Americans Spirituality

[WinterHold]

You think islam is on par with the notion that there are dryads in the trees....lol?  We finally agree on something!

Not only trees, Muslims only spit on the left cos an angel always sits on his right shoulder.

*TFOOOOOO*
*Spits on the right*

Add it to the sins the white man did,  eradicating this culture and destroy it. 
Native Americans had an interesting spiritual culture that got erased totally, leaving only ashes behind.

Added to the pile.  Think of all the interesting middle eastern, mediterranean, and european "spiritual cultures" that no longer exist.  Victims of abraham, the lot of em.  A whole world victimized by a religion that simply could not stand to coexist with it;s peers.

As a point of interest, native american culture was unremarkable in the scope of its context.  It had vast commonality with shamanic traditions that existed in the stone age worldwide.  There were a few remarkable outliers, but most of them the spanish dealt with right off the bat.  It;s a massive irony, to me..that I find the worlds religions past and present interesting in a way that the religious...well...just don;t.  I understand why.  On some level..every religious person thinks that they already know what their magic book is talking about..further..that their magic book got it right.  I, otoh..wonder what their day to day life was like such that these common narratives expressed themselves in precisely the way they did over spans of time and geography.

The religious are "one of the favorite units" of an invasion force: they are mostly deployed to act as human shields for those behind them.

The Spaniards who led the Conquest of America did not set sail to spread christianity: they sailed to rob the native Americans off their gold. It became a trademark for the Conquistadors, and one of their favorite "units" to deploy to battles are the religious human shields thinking they fight for God.

Also it was a great justification for killing Millions of natives, make them go extinct, then take their gold, becoming the "USA" and "South America".

Every human thinks they know something better than somebody else: including belief. That's why there is a book to judge between us: the rules are really written explicitly. If you want the truth, just read the book.
