George W. Bush isn't the only delusional religious nut

Meet Pope Benedict:

In a speech to Latin American and Caribbean bishops at the end of a visit to Brazil, the Pope said the Church had not imposed itself on the indigenous peoples of the Americas.

They had welcomed the arrival of European priests at the time of the conquest as they were "silently longing" for Christianity, he said.

Millions of tribal Indians are believed to have died as a result of European colonization backed by the Church since Columbus landed in the Americas in 1492, through slaughter, disease or enslavement.


Let me ask you this, Pope Ratso Rizzo: If the indigenous people in the Americas were "silently longing" for Christianity, why did Christians kill so many of them? Do you always kill everyone, even those who agree with you?

I'd like to see just one of the Islamophobes on the right talk about the Church's history of genocide and forced conversion while they set Christianity up as somehow "superior".
