1 could contend that u have a narrow minded point of view. Assuming that Christianity as a whole is representative of this 1 man is a narrow minded statement. If people would read about who Christ(i.e. new testament) says he is rather than allowing other people's biased opinions 2 tell them who Christ is, you could avoid embarrassing yourself. This friar was errant in his beliefs. A true Christian will never force his religion on anyone. The loss of knowledge is deplorable.

fuck the mayans! they were a disgusting civilization. how would you like it if a mayan priest knocked on your door, stole your kids, and then cut their hearts out? how would you like it if on a mayan holiday you had to all cut yourselves and let blood flow out in the city? the mayans fucked themselves up and scattered around BEFORE the spanish arrived.

@MrGuitaraddict1 Well, before you come up with theories do some research, and i don't mean to be pedantic here. It is widely accepted that imperialism began to develop in parallel or as a reaction of wide social and economic changes in europe. If anything, europe's dominance became possible thanks to it's technological advances. As technological advancement grew, the role and influence of the religious institutions was greatly diminished. Again, not cause, but catastrophic side effect.

@Iker888 And you know,i think imperialism was actually in many cases ordained by religion.The voracious capitalism was always behind religion that protected it in every way.

[MrGuitaraddict1]

@Iker888 Try to control your immagination.I said nothing about "conspiracy" engeneered by jews!Hahahaha...I just said that christianity is a religion originated by judaism.In fact you find many common elements between them.And the more you go back in the past the more elements in common you find.Christianity has undergone many changes throughout history.As a result today's christianity is much different from the christianity of 2000 years ago.

@MrGuitaraddict1 Imperialism wasn't ordained by christianity, much less by judaism. It was fueled by greed, and a voracious capitalism. I'm afraid you give religion too much credit. Sure, it played a huge role in the subjugation of other cultures, but it was a byproduct of imperialistic expansion, not a cause. To say that jews control christianity like evil puppeteers is just an absurd continuum of conspiracy theories which sprung up since the middle ages; based entirely on hate and fear.
