Yep, we killed most of the cannibals. What jerks we were.

Well, maybe we did, they were the subtribe of a tribe that still exists, and the other tribes were not North American and don't make any sense to your argument. Yep, more good strong points!

YOU believe there is only one God, that doesn't make it true to anyone but you, and those closeminded people that think like you.

Open your eyes to the rest of the world, and be humbled.
YAY!

Have you read the title of this thread?

Please someone get this woman off the forum

Where is that karma when you need it?
WAIT, she is the one that made the karma go away!
Lady, this here is a free country and we do demonstrate free speech even on the internet.

Perhaps Marie you need to take a break from the forum and go to some other forum that discusses Jesus, the teachings of the bible (from what I'm guessing King James version), puppies, flowers and rainbows.

This is the real world, the big time baby! Go back to your safe little bubble.

ok, i only went as far as reading the first page before i posted, but...

why would God damn an entire country? It's on individual's belief that gets them to the next life. With A country full of so many good people and many, many different religions, i don't think A divine power would trace the borders of America and Damn all with in them. Will he get all 50 states or just the lower 48? Do our good deeds go unseen? The millions, billions of dollars that go to foreign aid for food, medical and reconstruction. I think alot of people want to place the beliefs ahead of everyone else and are trying to use "scare tactics" to make people do what they want. Alot of it is based in the media. What about all the people around the world that are happy we are there to help them and start new governments. Of course, there is death and hardship before there is tranquility, just like in our own revolutions. The only difference between now and then is that was then and this is now. Technology has allowed war to become greater, and higher population has allowed famine and poverty to seem even worse. These things have always been around.

I don't even want to get into weather and natural disasters as punishment or warning...

so to save an even longer story... IMO...NO, he wouldnt Damn a Nation, but maybe certain people within it, but they had it coming anyways.

I suggest you research what you write in posts, but you've never taken that advice from anyone that I've seen.

I'll stick around.

(not a flame, just advise) (sorry vrai) (hehe)

we did kill cannibals sure, but they were the vast minority .... mostly it was just regular old natives.

why on earth are you trying to justify what happened?

seriously, it pretty obvious to see the numbers and the area once occupied (100%) vs. now (probably less than .1%)

I've never seen anyone who proclaims himself christian act so hard to justify the largest genocide the world has ever seen (aside from when god killed everyone).

Can you show me a source for this? I've provided my sources that the first two tribes weren't even here in the first place, and the third was a tiny off-shoot of a larger tribe that still exists in Texas.

By "justify", do you mean condemn? Like when I said it was pretty lousy and crappy the treatement they got?

Context! 100% of a few thousand, vs 0.1% of 300,000,000+. They weren't extermintated, they were overrun with a whole different population that ADDED to the whole number. They were bred with, diluting their (and the other culture's) heritage.

Imagine taking a huge tank, and putting 1 gallon of saltwater in it. 100% saltwater in the tank. Now, add 300,000 gallons of milk. The saltwater is now an extremely small portion of the whole. Was the saltwater eliminated? No, it was diluted with milk. Was there wholesale genocide? No, the culture was overrun. Is that fair and right? No, but so what?

Your perception does not equal reality in this case.
