1000 years ago, christian dogma said it was good to kill heathens to spread christianity (viz The Crusades). Likewise, the heathens killed all the christians they could get their hands on, so their team could win. How is it that christianity evolved out of this doctrine but the heathens still haven't?
Is it because the the Europeans discovered the new world and realized that the church really didnt know it all? That the church had no clue about the riches of the new world? and perhaps its precepts of violence as an accepted behavior were best buried?
Would an equivalent 'discovery' by the people led by these other 'stuck in the past' religions get them to abandon violence?
