Noble Savage

Wikipedia defines the term Noble Savage as the concept of the natural man, unencumbered by either civilizatio or divine revelation.

In this entry, There was a section that describes Charles Dickens article out of his magazine Household Words, called "Noble Savage." In this article he expressed his ignorance and cruelty towards Indians. He described them as nasty and uncivilized. Without knowing the background of the Indian people, he made many assumptions. Today people still do the same thing. He really jsust focused on houw they looked and their different customs that he was not too familiar with.

It kills me to hear what these writers have to say about certain people. They are certainly not practicing what they preach. These settlers and observers were determined to convert the Indians into "civilized christians", when they are from being that themselves. Christians don't judge, Christians don't kill, Christians don't hurt, Christians don't steal. Someone needs to read their Bible a little more often! LOL. Those are the basic teachings of Chirstianity.
