"While in the "long-house/Tipi's",..... sitting on the same ground here in South Dakota, that they have been sitting on some ...."10,000" years,......The Elders spoke to the young about HOW the CREATOR(who had created the Earth), saw the need to COVER the Earth Totally by a GIANT Flood !!
Suddenly...they were Interupted by a stranger, who wore a cross around his neck, carrying a "book", and DEMANDING that the people (convert) LISTEN to him, because If they Didn,t they could not go to Paradise.
As the Elders resumed the story of the Creators works,.....they were interupted AGAIN,....by a man with a cross around his neck,.........carring a "book", and DEMANDING that the people LISTEN to his words, because if not,....the people could not go to Paradise. What the people found unusual about this second man, was that he was saying the EXACT same things, as the First man,............EXCEPT that this second man was rambling on about "a MIDDLE Man" residing in some place called ROME !!
Again,....the Elders returned to their story's(to the young), when AGAIN, they were Interupted by a third man, carrying NO "book", wearing a very small flat cap on the back of his head, and Demanding NOTHING from the people. HE had simply stopped to ask permission to pass through, on his journey westward !
For the third and final time, the Elders returned to telling the young, of the stories and Legends that were told to them, when They were young, by Thier Elders. They told the young, to Share, Love and Respect their Brothers and Sisters. They Told the Young that after Death, their spirit would go to heaven, where the CREATOR was. They ALSO told the young, of the tricks, and Perils of the EVIL SPIRIT, and to always beware"
I tell you,...............when the above topics, being discusse by everyone else come up from time to time, I don't know whether to "chuckle" because of the foolishness,.....................or to sigh with sadness, because SO many people have been SO EASILY Sold on the product for sale !
