Untrue. When the Mayans were found by the Spanish Conquistadors did they find them worshiping Jesus Christ?? Nope. Did they find them giving the god jehovah the praise for things like bountiful harvests and plenty of food and water? Nope. Since it's well known that the Mayans were excellent astronomers, did they give the glory of the heavens to the Lord god Immanuel?? Nope. This is a bull shit excuse that christians use to weasel out of the fact that their god left most people on this planet to burn in hell due to their "pagan gods" and their accident of birth. The Mayans and the billions of people that lived prior all over the world didn't even know your god's name. They praised the only gods they knew and they offered human sacrifices to appease them. And why did they worship these gods? ... the same reason you worship yours ... because they assumed that their parents and their grand parents and their entire civilization wouldn't lie to them about "the one true god."
You are essentially a Mayan ... you were just born on a different continent, in a different century, and serve a different god.
EDIT: Just a final thought. After all was said and done the Spanish murdered nearly all of them and enslaved the rest --- all in an effort to "reveal god to the world."
If it weren't so terrifying, it would be such an obvious fucking joke.
