Arrogant 'Christian' Televangelist Tells Native Americans To 'Repent For Their Ancestors'

Article PhotoCindy Jacobs is the sort of Christian who gives the ones who actually practice that faith a bad name. This is the woman who declared earlier this year that her shoes were a “miracle from God.” 
Because God is so concerned with how long her shoes last. I have a pair of shoes that have lasted years, too. Silly me, I just put it down to my taking care of them.
But that was a harmless bit of arrogance. This latest from Ms. Jacobs is insulting and obscene. In her latest installment of 10 Minute Prayer School (didn’t God say something about where to do this…?) 
she spoke about the “Leviathan spirit” and how to defeat it. This spirit, according to Jacobs, is responsible for a lot of bad things: divorce, family feuds, sibling rivalries, church splits, and even tribal wars. Other evangelists explain that this spirit is a demon. And here I thought that people were responsible for those things. How lovely to be able to justify passing the buck for one’s behavior.
is this Bachmann's replacement if so aren't the headed to the same end with this one, one radically challenged person embarrassingly dismissed trade-in the next one is on her way to oblivion and "republicans say the darnedest things".
At any rate, this “Leviathan spirit” must be dealt with before it can be defeated. For some reason, Jacobs thinks that anyone with Native American blood is particularly susceptible to this spirit:
“If you have in your bloodline any animus [sic], any Native American blood, for instance — not all Native Americans worshiped the serpent or crocodile, many did — but you might want to renounce that and repent for the generational iniquity,” she explained. “If you are — perhaps you’re Mexican and you might have indigenous blood in you or Mayan blood, those who have Aztec blood in any way, you need to repent for the sin of animism before you begin to deal with this spirit.”
You first, Ms. Jacobs. You need to repent for the evil your ancestors brought upon mine. Repent for the smallpox-infested blankets. Repent for forcing my ancestors to leave their homelands, for the Trail of Tears. Repent for forcing my ancestors to live the way yours did, for stealing their children and wiping out their culture. Repent for sterilizing the women and killing the men. Repent for taking everything and giving us little bits of land for which we were expected to be oh, so grateful.
Until I get an apology from you for what your ancestors did to mine you can take your self-righteous attitude and your arrogant, condescending treatment of my people and stick it under your tastefully cut skirt. And while you’re at it, go drop a few Benjamins at the nearest Native casino – start to pay back just a little of what was taken. Repent? For throwing ourselves in the path of your bullets and broken treaties? No Ms. Jacobs, I think not. See to that log in your own eye.
there are contrary stories and remembrance of the smallpox issue all the way to blaming the British, we know that there is corrupt historic events and those never recorded.  that i guess will have to be left to you.
