Spanish forced church on native Americans under threat of death,did this...

[TheAsender]

...invalidate Jesus teachings of love? From the first murderer under the cloak of the church"Christopher Columbus and all the ones who followed, all had one thing in mind. Convert the heathens for the pope and steal all the gold they could find, they slaughtered millions in the America's. But we have to forgive them for they were guided by a false leader. The only true words of Jesus are found in The Gospel ofThomas.

Forcing people to follow Christianity through death threat usually warps the message.Its not through love,as Jesus would have had done.Learning to forgive is a devine lesson.The Native Americans were bullied .....yet again.

Yes, Jesus teachings they hear but do not follow.

[argus]

All they want, was to stop native Americans from sacrificing humans to their god

[jquirky]

They didn't clearly understand the message. We are not supposed to force Christianity on others. Preaching is okay, threatening to kill them if they don't convert is not.

The Spanish were more interested in getting gold anyway.

You are very mislead my friend, and you know little, if anything about history. Your tirade is merely hype and I'm sure there are many on this site that cling to hype rather than truth or facts that would love to climb on board.

Edit: If you have brains and an education, I don't have to encourage your response, for the rest of you who flunked out of school, feel free to respond with a "thumbs down" (that's the one on the side where the numbers are...)

They were just following Christ's teachings.

[Tim]

They were not following Christs teachings at all, but rather mans greed.
Not all who call themselves Christians, are Christian
