Duke,

Thanks for the comments and for sending links to my stuff. I wouldn't call what I said regarding Columbus "glowing." I was mostly interested in his apocalyptic views as motivation for his quest. I found Carol Delaney's book illuminating.

Thanks again for the good words!

You came to mind today when someone who identified himself as RtRev wrote "I am a Bible believing Christian and I find some that would call themselves Christians could be so willfully ignorant and/or just plain naive."

This prompted me to re-visited your web site today principally because I was impressed by your honesty and candor when I discovered your site a few weeks ago and I wanted to send him a link to your site.

And then I found myself dumbstruck by your glowing account of Christopher Columbus. I'm sure you were referring to the Christopher Columbus who was eventually taken back to Spain in chains and also the one depicted here: http://www.thirdworldtraveler.com/Zinn/Columbus_PeoplesHx.html

Unfortunately, what Columbus believed and acted upon is no different from what Michelle Bachman, Rick Perry, and Rick Santorum believe and are prepared to act upon if elected. More unfortunately, Newt Gingrich is only too happy to pretend he believes the same thing so that he can act upon his own false belief, and start WWIII with Iran -- all to cater to the medieval belief system 20% of our population believes in.

We have work to do. Your work is vital. Keep it up.
