It's the Christian Thing to Do
Religion, oh, religion. the root of all evil, right next to money. If more people were like the Indians that saw God in nature, there would be no cause for wars. God is all around us all the time, it is our inability to see this that has caused a need for religions. Religions profess their dogma to be the only truth. How many religions are there? But there is only one God. The Indians saw God in the landscape, the trees, the animals, all things in nature. They knew to take care of mother earth as it was a gift from the creator, "God". We have gone far away from those simple days and created religions so we can have wars over idealogies. The Indians (American) only fought over territory. The South American indians, are pretty much a peaceful lot as long as you don't infringe on their territory. We "saved" these savages in the name of Jesus and killed more with disease than we ever converted. According to Christian belief, If you aren't baptized in the name of the lord, you'll not get into heaven. So that lets out about 4 billion+ people. Are we so vain as to assume they will all descend into a firey lake called hell. Do the Indians that have not been converted go straight to hell. I think not. A creator would not destroy his creations just to make a point. I think religion needs to have some common sense pumped into it. Believe what you will, just don't condemn anyone that doesn't think like you!
