The Indians understand that it was not the words found in the Holy Bible that took their lives away from them. They know that it was not all white men that hated them. They know that the theory of evolution and the humanistic values that come natural through hate had turned many a white man into a racist. They saw the Indian has unevolved and too stupid to continue living. So the Indians lost more than their lands, their culture, their faith, and their human rights--indeed, they lost their very souls. The image and likeness of God in their race was taken right out of them, and thats by and large the main reason why there is so much alcoholism and drug abuse on Indian communities today.

Um, right, 'cause losing their land, the lives of many of their tribe, their way of life and their means of support had nothing to do with it. It was all because they didn't have the Christian God.
So, you're blaming the Europeans' conquest of the Native Americans (around 1500-1600), and presumably the Removal of Indians Act (1830) on the theory of evolution, made popular by Darwin's Natural Selection (which Darwin conceived in 1838, and hadn't published until 1859)?
I suppose these Christian Europeans were simply anticipating evolution's discovery?
This is so wrong on every level.
Each succeding line dips lower into the cesspool of bullshit that you wallow in.
Native Americans were virtually wiped out long before the invading armies of European settlers arrived. The plagues spread in the 15th and 16th centuries virtually depopulated vast areas of North America, killing up to ninety percent of the native population. The remainder, while re-populating the continent, slowly, were pushed westward by good christians, such as yourself, where many more died in the process.
The rampant alcoholism is the result of being pushed off their land, forced out of their way of life, and sequestered in desert colonies, forced to live on the good nature of their conquerors.
Of course, if your belief makes you happy, who am I to argue?
However, I must say that you must not really care about truth and veracity, but, hey, you are a good CHRISTIAN, aren't you?
Well, the Indians did take heavy losses because of evolution.
Indirectly.
Because they didn't evolve resistance to the microorganisms from a different country, germs brought over with livestock took them out with deadly efficiency.
And the livestock which had to scrabble for survival over in Europe took a big bite out of the habitat of other species living in relatively bountiful America.
So, yeah, evolution wiped out the Indians. Just, uh, the old biological kind, not this newfangled raciocultural kind the kids today are all on about.

And here in my holy book of atheism is the verse that foretold the arrival of Cortez, who came to earth, preparing the world for Charles Darwin, the Chosen One...
The image and likeness of God in their race was taken right out of them, and thats by and large the main reason why there is so much alcoholism and drug abuse on Indian communities today." "And that, children, is why the evil, sinful Indian niggers are not white. Next we'll learn about how spicks can't spell, speak English, or do math..."
Post of the Month?
Before you use Native Americans to prop up your belief system, keep in mind that the Native American two-spirit persons are often cited as a counter-example to Christian appeals to history against gay rights.
Also, you might want to look up Diego de Landa to see an example of the Christian love that would later be displaced by Darwinist hate.
I once replyed to this guys lies in EFF, I got banned by fred for telling the truth about first nations peoples.
Origen loves to rave about us from a position of utter ignorance.
He seems to think we were all christians before the conquest.
He thinks our traditions were imposed on us by mysterymen from India.
Adrian, Almost, But I'm too sick.
Coundnt even forward to band council
D_Laurier, I remember reading what you wrote down and couldn't understand why they did it, I posted in reponse to origen's message. I then got banned for agreeing with someone about how they treat people on the boards(though he used some harsh language). Then you joined and they probably banned you thinking it was me... but that might be giving them just a BIT too much credit
Well, yeah, but it was only the Indians who were alive after 1859 that were victimized.
Say what? Then why was the Indian Removal Act passed in 1830? The act which forcibly relocated the Five Civilized Tribes? And ultimately lead to tragedies like the Trail of Tears ?
Do the Indians understand that? Do they really? While many have sold out to the Christian world you'll still find many who rightly condemn the organization of Christianity for its obvious racist traits.
This they can demonstrate with FACTS, not bullshit your Pastor told you. Hard, cruel historical facts and documents from Christians insisting the natives were subhumans or animals.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
