There are Christian Mexicans who make sense of the multitude of ancient Mesoamerican religions likening Quetzalcoatl to apostle Thomas.TOP KEK

There were also South Americans who worshiped goddesses that were actually misunderstood manifestations of the Virgin Mary. When missionaries told them to worship Mary instead, they were confused and began making statues that of the Virgin Mary dressed in Indian garb. But at least they knew the truth.

God has always revealed himself in different ways to different people, including the Native Americans. The other religions are similar because they all come from God, even if they are also very wrong and incomplete because God didn't show them the whole message.

If you're implying it was wrong for him not to explain who he was the Indians, remember that you're not seeing the world through God's perspective. He is a very busy God since he's the only God and has to run the whole cosmos, and he can't rely on false gods like Helios to move the sun, Ares to handle the crusades, and Hades to manage the souls of the deceased. It wasn't feasible to spread his message until more Christian souls had arrived in heaven to handle eternal responsibilities.

Remember that God only named 3 archangels in the bible, and he divides his important tasks among them. If He had revealed the whole truth to the Native Americans earlier, it would have created a bureaucratic nightmare for those 3 angels in heaven. There would have far been too many souls vying to enter through the gates of St. Peter. God needed more time, more specifically a thousand years to recruit and train Christian interns, and widen the gates of St. Peter to handle the deceased. Only now there are so many more new souls that the receptionists are still overworked, which is why God hasn't let his missionaries penetrate Tibet, Japan, or Papua New Guinea yet.

I bet you're one of those heretics who wouldn't understand this even if I told you a man was raised from the dead. Well, who do you think you are to question God? Do you think you're God? Are you trying to trick me into worshiping your intellect?!

Well false god, enjoy your ban.
