What is more important: Progress or some worthless Indian burial grounds?
For the past few weeks, the peaceful state of North Dakota has been a scene of senseless violence.
There is a new oil pipeline being built, and the Indians don't want it because it runs through their burial grounds or whatever, and also they don't want to drink oil-polluted water (which is makes no sense, as the Bible teaches us to avoid drinking water altogether, 1 Timothy 5:23).

Of course, the North Dakota government denies existence of any cultural sites along the route. True, the area in question hasn't even been surveyed by ND state archaeologists yet, but that shouldn't matter - the point is that they haven't found any cultural remains. I mean, they plan to survey that particular area, eventually, and if they do so after the bulldozers come, there won't be any archaeological sites to be found for sure.
After all, the ND state archaeologists are paid by the government to make the progress easier, not harder.
Despite this clear evidence of non-existence of any archaeological sites, the Indians began to protest the pipeline construction, and even viciously attacked the heroic dogs sent to protect the construction.
An oil pipeline defense dog. Of course the best defense is offense, which accounts for the human blood on its mouth.
The Society for American Archaeology (basically a bunch of creation-denying leftists), instead of taking their cues from the ND state archaeologists, wrote a letter in defense of the Indians, pointing out that the archaeological surveys conducted along the planned pipeline route were not adequate and did not actually cover that entire area.
The question that immediately comes to mind, is who cares?
Even if there are/were any human remains buried (some have been probably already cleaned up by the bulldozers), it doesn't matter.
These are not Christian cemeteries where God fearing folks are buried peacefully waiting for the Judgment Day. These are heathen cemeteries, and the Bible is quite clear about how to deal with heathen material culture:
Deuteronomy 7:1-6
1 When the Lord thy God shall bring thee into the land whither thou goest to possess it, and hath cast out many nations before thee, the Hittites, and the Girgashites, and the Amorites, and the Canaanites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites, seven nations greater and mightier than thou;
2 And when the Lord thy God shall deliver them before thee; thou shalt smite them, and utterly destroy them; thou shalt make no covenant with them, nor shew mercy unto them:
3 Neither shalt thou make marriages with them; thy daughter thou shalt not give unto his son, nor his daughter shalt thou take unto thy son.
4 For they will turn away thy son from following me, that they may serve other gods: so will the anger of the Lord be kindled against you, and destroy thee suddenly.
5 But thus shall ye deal with them; ye shall destroy their altars, and break down their images, and cut down their groves, and burn their graven images with fire.
6 For thou art an holy people unto the Lord thy God: the Lord thy God hath chosen thee to be a special people unto himself, above all people that are upon the face of the earth.
God is quite clear: kill all heathens (Deuteronomy 7:2) and destroy all their material culture (Deuteronomy 7:5). The Indians should be thankful that we graciously allowed the few survivors of genocide carried out in the 18th and 19th centuries to live on the worst scraps of land that we could find for them.
Unfortunately, Obama's administration gave in (clearly showing its weakness when dealing with domestic terrorism) and put a temporary halt to the construction - until the whole deal of existence or non-existence of some worthless Indian remains is determined.
We need to pray, Brothers and Sisters, for the True Justice™ to prevail. Godly Oil companies are losing millions of dollars every day of the construction delay. That is not good! We need that pipeline and planning its route through the areas of the poorest people is the best plan ever just in case of some insignificant oil spills.
