Hey! I remember Pontiac. There was one that would "eat everybody's lunch"
when they tried to race against it down the road.

It's all fun and games until someone eats your heart ;)

Most who post on the religion forum have some differences in their beliefs from each other, but carry on very intellectual and informative conversations, welcome debate, and remain forum friends. I love reading all the different points of view, and opinions. Learning never stops for our entire lives. We are all brothers and sisters in life, no matter what our views/beliefs, and it is how we conduct ourselves that is most important. One thing that will turn me off immediately, and close my ears, is hearing from someone that is closed to discussion, and believes all are pagan/atheist/heathen, etc. who don't believe a certain way. All groups in the human race of history have made tragic mistakes, and, hopefully, have learned from those mistakes, as to never repeat them. JMO

Edit: When I came back to do this edit, there was an advertisement for Pontiac that, I guess, was prompted by Starman's post.

Agreed.

And yet, that was the expected norm of what would happen during the reign of ancient pagan civilizations for ceremonial sacrifices and/or dealing with the defeated enemy.

Today, however, the expected norm of what happens (in the Middle East) includes beheadings, cutting off hands and feet, stoning, burning, strangulations, etc.

Still not fun and games in other parts of the world even in the 21st Century!

Time is irrelevant with pagans.

Hey, MDS, you went back on ignore after your last idiotic statements, so whatever drivel you're babbling, as entertaining as it is I'm sure, I can't see it.

I'm sure you came up with some logical in your pea brain reason of how the Bible was only speaking in analogies or something. Good, I hope you did, that will come back to haunt you.

I really don't care if you see it. It's clear you can't refute it and don't to face the polygamy and cannibalism of the Indians. Not my problem

And yet, you still post...

I hope at some point you contribute something to what was meant to be a positive thread.

If you do, hopefully someone will quote you so I can see it.

I leave you all with this...

So live your life that the fear of death can never enter your heart. Trouble no one about their religion; respect others in their view, and demand that they respect yours. Love your life, perfect your life, beautify all things in your life. Seek to make your life long and Its purpose in the service of your people. Prepare a noble death song for the day when you go over the great divide. Always give a word or a sign of salute when meeting or passing a friend, even a stranger, when in a lonely place. Show respect to all people and bow to none. When you arise in the morning, give thanks for the food and for the joy of living. If you see no reason for giving thanks, the fault lies only in yourself. Abuse no one and nothing, for abuse turns the wise ones to fools and robs the spirit of its vision. When it comes your time to die, be not like those whose hearts are filled with fear of death, so that when their time comes they weep and pray for a little more time to live their lives over again in a different way. Sing your death song and die like a hero going home."

I don't know of this is true or not, but I don't care. I hope if you're going to be judgmental that you judge a race of people by their present and not their past. Every group of people has something to be ashamed of at one point in time or another.

I remember watching the outdoor drama of Tecumseh's rebellion while visiting my grandmother in Chillicothe, Ohio. Real guns with blank ammo was rather impressive to a small child, haha! I also recall being rather impressed by the mounds, that kind of burial was a foreign concept to me then. They have an awesome festival there every year where one can purchase tons of turquois and sexy little backless suede halter tops, watch Native American dances, and learn all kinds of stuff about the Shawnee.
