"Poor me".
This thread is NOT about how Christians are not given loans or given enough free-speech at work or something.
The Christian history rarely taught anymore by the media.
An early Roman Christian had to work under the Caesars(Most were crazy pedophiles or psychopaths) today we have the media and CFR, Trilateral commission, Bilderberg etc....
I see a VAST role played by them in disenfranchising the 'commoners' from religion and people like you towing the line for them.
All the while the Vatican works right in there with the PTB gaining political control.
Might makes right?

thats why when I commented on your poor me attitude, I apologized for it being off-topic.
Apparently you were too busy watching fox news or your t.v. evangelicals the last 2 days. because for the last 2 yeasr at least cnn (the niggest name in news) has aired specials on that exact subject. the christian heritage and how christianity came to be.

Hrm I thought it was founded by Native American Indians and their various tribes until the fine Christians came over and swindled them land for beads and other fine worthless trinkets and spread syphilis, smallpox and other disease while uprooting entire villages from their homeland. To add more great founding they were promised and delivered death, enslavement, and violence.
Nothing says righteous like taking advantage of the vulnerable.

Sorry, but I won't believe in Christianity just because people two and three centuries ago did too. Give me a break.
I'll do it for real reasons if I want to, but that's just insulting to our intelligence.

I don't see how people in 1st world countries still believe in any type of God.
There has never been any real proof of a higher power creating anything.
Religion was invented by stone age people looking for hope and explanation.
Its a good example to live by but no religion practices what they preach. They still start wars and kill innocent people for no reason except difference.
Religion is the downfall of society and we would be better off without it.
All you people holding on to your archaic beliefs need to let go and start living for yourself. Nobody is going to save you in the end. When your dead,your dead. The end.

As to OT giving out these posts full of quotes from those loving christian men, mind if i ask you to try to find quotes talking about their apologizing for what they and their forefathers did to our people?
America was not founded on Christian principles like you claim.
Within The United Methodist Church are local Native American congregations that are vital to the communities they serve. We have congregations that stretch from Ft. Yuma UMC in the southwest corner of the United States to Hogansburg UMC on the Akwesasne Mohawk reservation near the northeastern corner of the United States—and at least 170 more places in between. Some have existed since before statehood, such as the Oneida Mission in the Wisconsin Annual Conference. Oneida was formed in 1830, 18 years before statehood. In Oklahoma, the first Methodist churches were built by Native Americans who endured the infamous "Trail of Tears." And today, there is a vitality within the 86 congregations that make up the Oklahoma Indian Missionary Conference. Vitality does not always equal "viability in terms of sustainability" in general church terms, but the churches are very important to our communities.

People woke up and realized they didn't need to be afraid of a mythical guy in white robe and beard or slick dude in horns and tail. They came to the understanding that religion is a tool to control the masses.
