European Christians murdered indians (1492)

"Even in the initial stages of contact between European Christians and Native indian people the stage was set for ethnocentrism, and the attitude towards the indians was that of Christian Superiority. The Indians were read a proclamation in Spanish which they had no hope of understanding, they had no hope of understanding the death sentence they were being read, and it went something like this..."

"We ask and require you to acknowledge the church as the ruler and superior or the whole world and the high priest called pope and in his name the king of Spain as Lord or this land. If you submit we shall receive you in all love and charity and shall leave you, your wives and children and your lands free without servitude, but if you do not submit we shall powerfully enter into your country and shall make war against you, we shall take your land and your wives and your children and shall make slaves of them ans we shall take away your goods and shall do you all the harm and damage we can"

"The Spaniards made bet as to who would slit a man in two or cut off his head with one blow. They tore babies from their mothers breast by their feet and dashed their heads against the rocks. They hanged indians by thirteen in honor and reverence for their redeemer and their twelve apostles. They put wood underneath and with fire, burned the indians alive"

"You have faith in the rivers, the mountains, the trees. With the blood of forgiveness you too can be free. Or the wrath of Jehovah you're sure to receive. We will baptize you with the blood of the lamb. With the sword and the gospel we will conquer your land. You will join our church and be glad to be saved. Or we'll slaughter your children and your women we'll rape."

Quote: Corporate Avenger

Early Christianity was possessed with evil. Never let the life you live for God blind you into trying to become God. (that is this whole message)

Date: 7/22/2002 10:49:00 PM  From Authorid: 34487    It's true that some very mislead Christians did horrible acts in the name of God. It's terrible when people abuse what they are supposed to uphold and represent. As a Christian, I try to remind myself often of how I come across and your post does this too. No man is ever above God or his fellow man. Only God has the right to judge. Good post. ;o)
