Might have just bought my first ever car (used my sister's for the last year), a black 2002 Mitsubishi Gallant.

 

Google picture of it:

They always know a way to keep you on the edge of your seat. [expletive]in Kohan. After that he better not decide to end the series. Seems like after every season there's speculation that it'll end yet it still comes on.

If you had your history correct, that's probably a depiction of a South American civilization. I.e. Mayans and Incas. Not North American Native Americans

 

"The White People" facilitated witch hunts, the Spanish Inquisition, Holocaust, etc. It goes both ways.

Witch hunts? the only people who believed in witches were christians

The belief in witches dates far back before the birth of Christ, and witch hunts were also pre-Christian. Ancient Egypt and in Babylonia had laws against witches and malevolent sorcery. I guess they must of been white and Christian too. :rolleyes:

 

The pre-Christian Twelve Tables of pagan Roman law has provisions against evil incantations and spells intended to damage cereal crops. In 331 BC, 170 women were executed as witches in the context of an epidemic illness. Livy emphasizes that this was a scale of persecution without precedent in Rome, but smaller-scale witch-hunts. In 184 BC, about 2,000 people were executed for witchcraft (veneficium), and in 182-180 BC another 3,000 executions took place, again triggered by the outbreak of an epidemic. There is no way to verify the figures reported by Roman historiographers, but if they are taken at face value, the scale of the witch-hunts in the Roman Republic in relation to the population of Italy at the time far exceeded anything that took place during the "classical" witch-craze in Early Modern Europe. Persecution of witches continued in the Roman Empire until the late 4th century AD and abated only after the introduction of Christianity as the Roman state religion in the 390s.

The part in bold is particularly interesting. :rolleyes:

 

Was there witch hunts during medieval times when the Catholic church was prominent? Yes, but to say that only Christians believed and organized witch hunts is not only inaccurate, but stupidly judgmental.

Salem witch trials is the only witch trials ive heard of, and that was definitely under the work of religion.
