So you'd advocate for the genocide of one race just so that Americans could be safe?

What makes an American worth more than a Korean or an Indian? It shouldn't matter what country they're from. The only thing that should matter is what kind of person they are.

Because they are my priority, just like how what benefits my state is more important to me than what benefits California.

That's not exactly a realistic situation unless you transformed an entire race into zombies, stuffed them with plastic explosive and fired them over the border from Mexico.

Pretty much.

Martin Luther was right when he went against the Catholic Church's corruption. He was wrong when, out of faith and good works, he chose faith as the important one.

I never said that billions should burn. I would much rather we all get along. However, that isn't realistic at the time, so I'd rather they kill eachother of than try to kill us.

No Mushet. I don't remember the Native Americans ever attacking European colonists. Xenophobia and aggression were old European ideals, something that even modern Europeans themselves abandoned.

Ok, I disagree there. If you aren't a Christian, I don't care and i won't pick on you and yada yada. But if you are the Bible says that faith is more important than good works. Still, don;t be an asshole to be people.
