For fundamentalist Christians:
Was the conquest of the Americas (North, Central, and South America), the mistreatment of the natives during and after the conquest, and the killing of the natives, by Europeans good or evil?
Was the conquest of Canaan, the mistreatment (including theft of native property) of the natives during and after the conquest, and the killing of the natives, by Israelites good or evil?
If you say the former was evil and the latter was good, why are you employing a double standard?
Many, maybe even most, fundamentalist Christians would condemn the conquest of the Americas, but then turn around and condone and even attempt to defend the conquest of Canaan.
I saw screw them both. Screw the white man and the Jew man...

Conquest of the Americas vs. Conquest of Canaan
Post #1If it turns out there are one or more gods, then so be it.
If it turns out there are no gods, then thank reality that no one is going to suffer forever.

The Bison are doing much better than the American Indians. One is genocide, the other is over-hunting.
In one case, the over-hunting contributed to the genocide, as bison were a staple for many Native Americans.
