"pics or it didn't happen".
I have no problem with you having a belief...but trying to portray that belief as a fact, is LAUGHABLE.

2022-02-01 at 7:35 PM UTCI believe in universal consciousness and collective consciousness

2022-02-01 at 8:07 PM UTCI believe when the world was formed, that there were three men, Odin, Vili & Ve, and from these three men they forged the earth, the dwarven home, and the angels host. From his blood poured the water of the earth, from the skin so made him ribs in teh world of man.
We much like bacteria grew in these areas, from his armpit came a God, and from the breakdown of the old age so brought asha and elmbla two sticks, that had nought, until breath, animation and soul was poured into them by my alfather and his brothers.
And so too shall all ages be, simple sticks with life, to return once more in the full cycle.
You have nothing to fear. -

2022-02-01 at 8:57 PM UTCExample:
"An unidentified Mexican soldier expressed a different opinion in the April 5, 1836, edition of El Mosquito Mexicano. He stated, “…the perverse and braggart Santiago Bowie, died like a woman, almost hidden under a mattress.”
Alamo survivor Susanna Dickinson Hannig weighed in on the subject 38 years later. She stated that Bowie was sick in bed, and when the Mexican soldiers entered his room, “…he killed two of them with his pistols before they pierced him through with their sabres.” Nothing in Hannig’s statement indicates she actually witnessed this."
History is...subjective. -

See above...
..and further on it...
According to stories spread after the battle, Bowie either died as: a murder victim, a suicide, a battle casualty or a victim of sadistic torture. He may have died fighting from his sickbed; helplessly in his sickbed; or of an illness before Mexican soldiers did the job. He may have been killed by swords, bayonets, gunfire or fire. He may have died heroically or as a coward.
One of the first reports to Sam Houston after the battle reported that “Bowie was killed while lying sick in bed.” Houston and others passed on this information, interpreting it to mean he had been “murdered” while sick in bed. However, Houston changed the story two days later, writing, “Our friend Bowie, as is now understood, unable to get out of bed, shot himself, as the soldiers approached it.” -

It's good you are finally getting the point... an old written account isn't worth a shit -

"Alamo survivor Susanna Dickinson Hannig weighed in on the subject 38 years later. She stated that Bowie was sick in bed, and when the Mexican soldiers entered his room, “…he killed two of them with his pistols before they pierced him through with their sabres.” Nothing in Hannig’s statement indicates she actually witnessed this.
Perhaps the most horrifying tale of Bowie’s death came in 1882, when William P. Zuber, who popularized the Alamo’s famous “line in the sand” story, told the tale of a young Mexican fifer Apolinario Saldigna. “Polin,” Zuber claims, witnessed Bowie brought out alive on a cot and placed before a Mexican captain. Bowie delivered a short patriotic speech to the captain, who became so outraged that he ordered his soldiers to cut Bowie’s tongue out and hurl the still-living man onto the Texian burning funeral pyre."
...there was no line in the sand btw, that was likely fabricated.
"No one disputes the outcome of the battle, but historians are still fighting over whether the sword story is true. Unfortunately for die-hard Texans, the current thinking is that it probably did not happen. On the other hand, so far as is known, anyone who could have vouched for the story died in the final assault that morning 170 years ago this March 6. " -
2022-02-01 at 9:05 PM UTC...and that's only 170yrs ago...you're believing something 1400yrs old?

"Actually Mexicans have the same story of what happened at the Alamo"
I have an expert in Texan and Mexican history sitting right here besides me who confirms this. -
