Re: Maoris conducted neighbourly relations in much the same way, though they also found slavery a useful adjunct to genocide and cannibalism. I prefer the Christian collectivist concept I prefer reality to illusion. You might want to take a look at Howard Zinn's "A People's History of the United States", tinyurl.com, for a scandalous assessment of Christopher Columbus's real agenda in America. In a nutshell, it appears that Columbus and the conquistadors who followed him all seemed to see the Church as an excellent adjunct to enslave the natives, and genocide is about the only term that can be applied to the precipitous decline of native populations between 1492 and 1900 in the Americas. Slavery and theft seemed to be the key motivators for the Spanish Christians, just as they are the key motivators for the Yanqui Evangelicals enslaving and extirpating the Musselmen of Ramadi.
