May I remind you slavery came from that culture

Untrue, or at the least incomplete. Judeo-Christian culture did not invent slavery, which has been a common feature to all "civilized" cultures. Truly primitive cultures didn't enslave conquered enemies, they just killed 'em, not exactly a major improvement. However, Western culture was the first and only culture to decide slavery was wrong and stamp it out.

so did killing native americans with WMD, namely polio infested blankets.

Whether this story is true or not is hotly debated. Only the Ward Churchill level of "scholarship" takes it to be undeniable fact and an indictment of the unique depravity of America and Americans.

The only documentation I am aware of is a 1760s proposal that may or may not have been implemented. The proposal came from British soldiers, not Americans.

If true, the practice is hardly new or unique to America. Lobbing rotting human and animal corpses into beseiged cities, poisoning water holes, etc. goes back probably to the earliest days of warfare.

Anyway, the blankets were poisoned with smallpox, not polio.

Yea you are right, it was small pox not polio, why I said that I don’t know, I knew better. My point was that Judeo/Christian culture has not always been pure and white. Feeding live animals to other live animals is nothing more than assisting natures path.IMHO no different than tuning into a nature channel and watching lions, tigers and other predators kill their meal and then sitting through the comercial waiting to see the next nature scene.Sortalike some on this forum that are outraged about stories when muslims and jews kill their goats by slitting their throat.
