Before, and during the time of Jesus, in the Old Testament, when a person died, or was killed by god it was said that he was no more, but after the death of Jesus came the advent of Christianity, and with it came another idea that had never been mentioned before, and this was the idea of hell. What a wonderful thing that the new church gave us. I wonder how many millions of people spent most of their lives in misery because of the ignorance of a few zealots? And to this day the church would rather have people suffer then tell them the truth. It makes me sick to my stomach.

I am not Native American but would like to share with you the texts that helped me to better understand the Native American culture and my understanding of the atrocities that occurred. Many Native Americans were killed, raped, starved, displaced and betrayed by the settlers to America. The quote from Chief Red Cloud above is probably the simplest and most accurate way to portray the betrayal of his people. \n\nMany tribes were reduced to a minisclule fraction of thier numbers in mass masacres (in which only the white men had rifles) - the most famous of these was the massacre at Wounded Knee. Eventually the tribes in thier dwindling numbers were resigned to reservations and virtually starved because of the fact that they now had only limited hunting lands and the settlers had slaughtered (almost to extinction) the buffalo - which was the Native Americans staple food source. A very similar thing happened here in Australia to our Aboriginal tribes.\n\nThere is so much to know on this topic and I would advise looking into these:\n\n"Bury My Heart At Wounded Knee" by Dee Brown (book)\n\n"Savagery and the American Indian" by Ken Kirby (film documentary)\n\nand checking out this web site for any more documentaries on your Native People.\n\nhttp://shenandoahfilms.com\n\nYou will not only learn of the atrocious behaviour of an ignorant government through this but will hopefully discover a culture which is rich in warmth, respect and mysticism.

i agree harsha. the main problem is that in all semitic relegions they have a belief that they are "chosen" people. ther god or allah is the only true god. their beliefs are the only truth in universe and so on. others are followers of satan and all of them going to hell. they also believe that they are doing a favour to others by converting them. if you do not convert you remain a sinner and going to hell anyway. they even argue that being arrogant and aggressive for conversion is their sacred duty. but you are too stupid to join their camp.\n\n so it is ok if you die. end of the story.

Christians have already done this... they stole children from native american homes and put them in abusive indian schools.  It didn't save them from hell, it hurt them immesureably.

No, they are not all going to Hell and God is giving them a chance.  Acts     17 :  30    And the times of this ignorance  God  winked  at; but now commandeth all men every where to repent.  God will not hold anyone responsible for things they knew nothing about but only when you know and still do not do the right thing, then you will pay.  So God has and is giving them a chance as HE knows their heart and if they would have followed Him if they had known about Him.

No, this is not true.  What about Christ or mother Theresa, do you think they are in hell?  What about Saint John the babtist? Or the apostles?  Whoever told you this was wrong.  You go to hell by your own choices.

I guess all of the Muslims, Jews, Buddhists, Hindus and Native Americans will be in hell then. Sounds like that's where the party will be. Count me in.\n\nIt's all a load of crap. I wouldn't put too much stock in it. Those things were made up to keep people in line. An all loving God isn't going to send you to hell for any reason. I don't even believe in hell personally. Follow what your heart tells you, that's most important. I think you should explore some other "alternative" religions cuz this line of thinking can really screw you up.\n\n"Turn or burn", how contrite and proves my point exactly.\n\nJust look at these answers coming from the "christians". That's enough to scare anybody to run in the opposite direction. "Believe in our way or die and spend eternity suffering for it". Come on, an all loving God is going to do that? Oh and read the Bible, a book that's been distorted for over 2000 years with major parts of it left out because they didn't fit with what so and so at the time wanted you to believe. What a joke. I can't wait for the aliens to arrive.

First of all no it was not proper for those souls to be enslaved. God created all men..or should I say people equal.\n\nBut it was the Irish who brought the slaves over to North America to start with...so they are to apologize as well.\n\nAn apology is indeed warranted to the peoples of Africa .

The Indians (Native Americans) either got killed off by diseases brought over by the Europeans, shot and killed, or gathered up and moved to OK or reservations. The Cherokees, Navajo, and others were forced off their native lands.\n\nThe Blacks had the freedom to move about and settle unlike the Native Americans. Plus, they didn't have historic and cultural land connections in the Americas that Native Americans have. This can be seen in their different oral histories and folklore.

No!  They had laws that they had to live by to determine if they were faithful to God.  \n\nThere's no hell....just permanent destruction.

Uhm... I think you've got things just a little bit distorted, lol. It's not the Indians who became the first Mormons. According to the Mormon philosophy, the first Native Americans were European settlers who turned brown when they first migrated to the new land. Hence, the first Native Americans.\n\nSo, perhaps the question you should be asking is, why don't Europeans (Whites or Caucasians) turn brown when they integrate into Native American culture?

OK thats a good question ... up to now I do agree with Gonzalez... I hate to tell you this mi amigo Hayleylov but it is true that there was a big part of land that was taken (NOT Conquered)that is known as US territory now. It is on many US History books and Predator maybe you should take a look before telling someone to read history without reading it yourself first.Pain and blood had run through the US street as well. Back in the time there were the indians who were forced to become "The Guests" of their OWN LAND and the worst part is that they still suffering the damage that this society have done to them. A fair land??? Yes it was fair for the ones that took the Land and worked the slaves. I mean common people this country was build on many people's pain and it continues to be that way until we stop to THINK whats really a GOOD REASON to treat humans that bad (Is power a good reason?) . Otherwise, kingdoms collapse like many did back on time. The pain will continue even if they legalize millions of people (mexicans, asians, cubans etc) it doesnt matter if the racism and hate still spreads around. What difference will it make????  \nPlus this country is based on immigration LEGAL or ILLEGAL you' all got here someway or another dindt ya?... So pleeeeeeeease stop being such close minded and be realistic for once before making comments. And do whatever you want to do with illegals as long as you do it as a ONE NATION UNDER GOD. Peace =)

NO. hellfire is an indoctrination that was put there by the church if you read in the bible the price that sin pays is death so he would have eventually dies and not have been resurected to heaven again. go research the ransom sacrifice on the web will help you to understand more
