  I don’t care about motivation or how a bunch of murderers felt, I care about the victims of genocide and the loss of massive religious diversity. Don’t you care about that too? Or is the only thing that matters to you what the conquistadores “intended” while they were raping girls and destroying villages?

    I don’t care about motivation

    Really? This you?

    The only reason for that is the many genocides perpetrated against members of other religions. Especially in places like Australia and the Americas where Christians were bloodthirsty invaders.

      Ah, I see the problem. You read me say “reason” and assumed I meant reason as in motivation, when I actually meant reason as in cause, because you have the reading comprehension of a 4th grader. Then you proceeded to derail this conversation with a pointless tangent about motivations that nobody else cares about.

        It’s not a cause lmao. Europeans were going to violently colonize the Americas, Africa, and Australia whether they followed Jesus, Buddha, or no one at all. It’s not like the Bible said “hey guys, those people over there don’t have guns, and they’ve got lots of gold”.
