Reply #81: Many other cultures took resources by force too

[Nikia]

Any ethnic group that occupies large areas probably used force against the other people who lived there. Pre Columbian Native Americans were not immune from this sort of behavior either. Religion wasn't necessarily involved. Religion is one way that people differentiate themselves from each other. There are also other ways that people differentiate themselves from each other that have nothing to do with religion. While modern thinking, some of which may have been inspired by religion, encourages us to see all people as our brothers and sisters, many cultures of the past and present have no such beliefs. I do not believe that the majority of people are born this way if not exposed to that belief, just as you believe that the majority of people would not believe in God if they were not exposed to the idea.
