And yet you still promulgate the idea that:

Many Christian colonists and missionaries, even those most sympathetic to the lifeways of the Native peoples, categorized Native Americans as “heathens” who either accepted or resisted conversion to Christianity. They did not place Native American traditions under the protection of religious freedom that had been enshrined in the Constitution. It was not until 1978, almost 200 years after the Constitution was signed, that the American Indian Religious Freedom Act gave specific legal recognition to the integrity of Native American religions.

Missionaries did deem them to be heathens. The Conquistadors did the killing for the missionaries. So the missionary may not have directly killed them, but they did NOT prevent them from being killed by the likes of the Conquistadors or the Armies of Britain or the Colonists who were land hungry.

Good to see the Church hasn’t changed in over 400 years. /s

So again eff off.

I won’t be effing anywhere. And the argument that the conquistadors were advance murder guards is ridiculous. Missionaries are not murderers and even though a staunch Protestant I won’t accuse the RC missionaries of being so either. It’s a plain old lie and insults the loving and sacrificial lives of hundreds of thousands of men who gave their lives and health and comforts and safety that others might live.
