Well yeah I can see that happening imagine after buying land aka the Louisiana Purchase and having people that now refuse to leave. Seminole stuff is everywhere in Florida.

Not trying to argue with you. Just trying to get you to understand that it wasnt all clean and fair or even steven. They were still fucked over and mistreated. Its like when people try to down play the slave trade by pointing out that some were sold into it. That doesn't make what happened to those people less severe or more ok.

Gotcha. You replied before I got the other message off.

There is no doubt that some of the worse wars were started in the name of God. These are people that don't truly fear God. If they did, then they wouldn't manipulate people into thinking another civilization needs to be wiped out. There are also a majority of the religious leaders, out there, who preach for the purpose of financial gain. In other words, there are bible pounders who try and rationalize their actions of taking advantage of others. Again, these people are not ones I would say truly fear a hire power. For example, there are certain things you wouldn't do, as a child, because you were afraid of your parent's wrath.

It is true that I am a religious person. What you are saying is not offensive to me. Unless you start directly calling me names, I will not get offended. I understand we are just having a friendly conversation. We all have different opinions and it's good to hear other people's opinions in order to understand both sides of a conversation. So you are aware, I go into all of my conversations with an open mind.

I will admit this, it scares me to know what type of person I would be if I didn't truly fear a higher power. I truly don't fear the wrath of man.

How is that a gotcha and how did the 2nd message change anything? I am not doing anything other than providing facts to things I see falsely being said in the media or schools and now the common man holds as truth. If you think it's an argument then you are alone in that because I don't see it as one. I still would not say the Indian conflict was a genocide like what some people will try to sell you on. I don't understand that statement of being sold into it is downplaying it? If anything I would say it has been overplayed that why you have people in 2023 that try to justify it by robbing stores or setting gas stations on fire.

🤦🏾 Oh man. That was gotcha, as in "I got it" or " I understand". Maybe its regional, but some people will respond "I got you", "gotcha" or "got it" when they understand something you told them.

I guess it is regional then over here my group says that when we are gonna screw around with each.

Me and one of my friends used to do that too. Its a thing where I live. But yeah, thats not the gotcha I meant.
