No! Christianity in general has taken the indigenous beliefs of too many peoples & their respective cultures! Why don't they see that their missions are an alternate form of oppression?

The best thing one can say about Orthodoxy is "At least they don't act like Catholics". Well, I guess that is no longer true. Too bad.

Theres not a single 'primitive culture' in the world that has benefitted from the teachings of the church. They have simply been told that their co-existence with nature is somehow wrong, even though they way they live is probably closer to whatever god exists intended. Im fairly sure it wasnt his intention that man hoard natural resources to the point of destroying the earth.

Ancient cultures have knowlege that the church wants buried. Hence the burning of libraries in the crusades, and the systematic destruction and reeducation of all the natural cultures on earth.

And all so a few at the top can stop us all from knowing who we really are so that we can be easily controlled.

As long as we continue to consume and pay their stupid legislative fines, requesting permission to do things we have a natural right to do, they are happy.
