There is this picture I have got
It really caught my eye when I
saw it. It is an Indian picture and
it says this on it.
Your religious calling was written on plates of stone by the flaming finger of an angry God.
Our religion was established by the traditions of our ancestors.
The dreams of our elders that are given to them
in the silent hours of the night by the great spirit,
and the premonitions of the learned beings.
It is written in the hearts of our people, thus,
we do not require churches - which would only lead us
to argue about God.
We do not wish this.
Earthly things may be argued about with men, but we never argue over God. And the thought that white men should rule over Nature and change its ways following his liking, was never understood by the Red Men.
Our belief is that the great spirit has created all things,
Not just mankind, but all animals, all plants, all rocks,,,
all on earth and amongst the stars, with true soul, for us all life is Holy.

But you do not understand our prayers when we address the Sun, Moon, and Winds.
You have judge us without understanding.Only because our prayers are different.
But we are able to live in Harmony with all of nature. All of nature is within us and we are part of all nature.

Truth mixed with lies. Of course God created everything. However, He also put mankind over nature. That has never, necessarily, meant bending it to our will.

God also say not to forsake the "gathering of the brethren." It is not bad to belong to a congregation and go to church.

Christian have the Word of God, "written on our hearts". Contrary to what you've written here, Indians are not the only ones who carry their god's "word" with them.

I'd much rather have the Word that is inspired by the One, True, living God, than "The dreams of our elders that are given to them
in the silent hours of the night by the great spirit, and the premonitions of the learned beings.", which translates into whatever illusion our ancestors had while they were on peyote.
