It is sort of a stretch to call Crucifix waving priests cleansing the
unbelieving natives as something other than a religious act. Did it
make it easier to get the gold? Yep. Did it pave he way for other
things? Yep. Was it done in the name of an invisible sky god? Yep.

Yes it should horrify current day true believers, thats a good
indication they are still more human than drone. The next step would
be to not do the defensive blame shift game and own up to it such that
you make sure NEVER AGAIN IN YOUR NAME.

Or else ..well ya now, true believer drone...buzz buzz buzz
