> about being a ritual aztec, again

Meanwhile Christians...

"Nay we dare boldly affirm, that during the Forty Years space, wherein they exercised their sanguinary and detestable Tyranny in these Regions, above Twelve Millions (computing Men, Women, and Children) have undeservedly perished; nor do I conceive that I should deviate from the Truth by saying that above Fifty Millions in all paid their last Debt to Nature. Those that arriv'd at these Islands from the remotest parts of Spain, and who pride themselves in the Name of Christians, steer'd Two courses principally, in order to the Extirpation, and Exterminating of this People from the face of the Earth."

That's an eye witness account of just 40 years out of 2,000. Barely scratching the surface.

@toiletpaper @seatree his acount was as a pious christian criticizing christians for acting unchristianlike, whereas aztecs brutalizing their neighbors in the name of religion was a total and honest fulfilment of their values.
