Once again we see that your claim to have knowledge is more pretense
than fact. Are you zara's twin brother by some chance?
Atahualpa had his brother killed himself. There was no Christian
involement whatsoever.
It was Pizzarro who ordered Atahualpa's death not a priest. The priest
offered a lessening of the sentence if Atahualpa converted. Atahualpa
did convert and the sentencing was reduced from being burnt alive to
garroting. It might not seem like much of a reduction to us in these
times but it was back then.
