And it was the Whites who for the most part were the 'savage' ones.
The Native Americans were master horticulturalists, with their own unique culture & civilisation. A world that was overturned by the arrival of the White man.
True, there are many faiths, many belief systems, like the branches of a tree. Who is to say that one is better than another? If 'your' faith helps to make you a better person, if it helps 'you' serve the greater good, then it is right - for you.
As all branches connect to the trunk, so all faiths connect to Love. That is the message at the core of every religion of the Light. That is the ultimate lesson we all have to learn.
(And a message confirmed time and time again by those returning from NDEs)

As the trucker sang goes I got a long way to go and a short time to get there. Today's like that. Lol. Okay now that I got a minute let me clarify something. Having the belief that being on a horse and being a hunter is bad then I'm not with you there. I'm not going to say that's what your insinuating this time. As I have already misunderstood you once. And I have a hard enough time getting what someone is saying from words on a screen. I have found in life 70 percent of what's being said comes from expressions and such. Not so much the words themselves. At least that's how I operate.
