When you guys can demonstrate that American Indians have achieved success at anything in the intellectual or spiritual realm that overshadows Christianity and Christendom you let me know. Until then I have no reason to believe they have much that is worthwhile other than casinos and I don’r gamble much.

Black Elk - who is so often touted for the book Black Elk Speaks - later became a Christian and even a catechist for more than 40 years. Gee, I wonder why?

Thank you for demonstrating the validity of my comment.

Some of us seek knowledge for the sake of acquiring knowledge. Some of us don't. You appear to be in the latter group. While that may be comfortable for you, dismissing someone else's quest for knowledge appears to be not only ignorance, but militant ignorance.

Wallow in ignorance all you like, but what's the point of dragging the rest of us down with you?

I'd be interested in knowing, which appears to be the difference between us.
