But the south americans had no idea of Christ before Columbus. Anither reason to assign it to the bin of ideas.

1. EVERY culture that we have ever heard of has some sort of "god idea".
Indeed but they aren't the god of the bible many have totally different characteristics and there are multiple gods and sometimes no gods at all just spirits or pixies.

If Christ is the universal god why would they NOT have known?
The only way they would not have known is if the jesus myth is not true.

the Abrahamic god is supposed to be universally true according to the people who believe that sort of thing.
If that was right then the jesus myth would have been the predominant idea everywhere without the need for intervention by people who had encountered it.
It would be a universal truth like water is wet. Things fall to the ground when dropped. You see where I am going with that.
It was NOT universally believed so it cannot be universally true.
Is where I was going with that.
You can fix ignorance, you can't fix stupid.
