Christians Murdered Indians

The genocide against American Natives was one of the most massive, and longest lasting genocidal campaigns in human history. It started, like all genocides, with the oppressor treating the victims as sub-humans. It continued until almost all Natives were wiped of the face of the earth, along with much of their language, culture and religion.

Even in the initial stages of contact between European Christians and
Native Indian people the stage was set for ethnocentrism, and the
attitude towards the Indians was that of Christian superiority. The
Indians were read a proclamation in Spanish which they had no hope of
understanding, they had no hope of understanding the death sentence they
were being read, and it went something like this:
"We ask and require you to acknowledge the church as the ruler and
superior of the whole world and the high priest called pope and in his
name the king of Spain as lords of this land. If you submit we shall
receive you in all love and charity and shall leave you, your wives and
children and your lands free without servitude, but if you do not submit
we shall powerfully enter into your country and shall make war against
you, we shall take you and your wives and your children and shall make
slaves of them and we shall take away your goods and shall do you all
the harm and damage we can." - Corporate Avenger

Roman Catholicism is a Christian religion and my Mother has a little Indian in her, does that mean "I kill myself"?

Not irony... Your ancestors had to either convert, or die. They chose to live.

Not necessarily, a man may marry into an Indian Tribe.

who gives a shit??

Love the casinos.

The only reason why the Indians aren't/weren't Christians is because Christ didn't come to America. Duh???

They are the same thing as Christians. They believe in a higher power.

The Deer slaughtered the Rabbits.

Edit: Because they were sick of being shot at.
