Moving the goal posts much? First you claimed it was their 'barbarism' that caused their demise, now its their entire culture and beliefs.

Someone doesn't know their Native American history now do they? Native Americans often used rifles themselves and they definitely knew what horses were, they were used in hunting, trading and war. Indeed, when one tribe raided another, it was the horses they would go for. The number of horses owned indicated a persons wealth. And they definitely didn't think that the white men were gods. They killed and scalped many of them.

'You can have all the faith you want in spirits, and the afterlife, and heaven and hell, but when it comes to this world, don't be an idiot. Cause you can tell me you put your faith in God to put you through the day, but when it comes time to cross the road, I know you look both ways.' - Dr House “Young earth creationism is essentially the position that all of modern science, 90% of living scientists and 98% of living biologists, all major university biology departments, every major science journal, the American Academy of Sciences, and every major science organization in the world, are all wrong regarding the origins and development of life….but one particular tribe of uneducated, bronze aged, goat herders got it exactly right.” - Chuck Easttom "If my good friend Doctor Gasparri speaks badly of my mother, he can expect to get punched.....You cannot provoke. You cannot insult the faith of others. You cannot make fun of the faith of others. There is a limit." - Pope Francis on freedom of speech (June 4, 2014 at 10:19 pm)Cthulhu Dreaming Wrote:(June 4, 2014 at 10:16 pm)Artur Axmann Wrote: cultures and nations get wiped out by those possessing a stronger ideology than their own.

Brah, do you even history?
Google "the enlightenment". Society progressed with the advent of the scientific method and the realization that you don't have to shove God in everything. In fact, I can think of a place for you to shove your god... Native Americans were decimated be diseases Christians brought. I bet you think the world is only 6k years old, don't you...

'Primitive' cultures? Pot calling the kettle black in your case. You certainly are the self congratulatory sort. So generous of you to regale us with your many off hand opinions. No one here gives a fuck but I suppose you at least are enjoying what you have to say,
Civilization formed just fine long before you christers showed up. In fact, it's plausible to claim that without christer-anity, the dark ages would not have happened and civilization would be much farther along than it is now.
