Let’s hear it for those Conquistadors!

Oh yes! The rack and strappado used by the Inquisition were such 'civilized' ways of enforcing religious belief!

Try to find some accurate history of the Inquisition.

Better than having your heart torn our, being skinned and/or roasted alive.
Besides, you could always convert without the “encouragement,” whereas the wonderful pre-Columbian civilizations were happy to sacrifice you no matter what your beliefs.

Killing off the Aztec, Inca and Maya “civilizations” was a GOOD thing...
