Conservative Talk – The Weekly Worldview: ‘neath the Veneer — 1 Comment

  1. Your story about jumping into the Columbus Day Parade was pretty funny, and it brought a thought to my mind. It was the same thought I had while on Google Earth and looking at satellite photo of tall building in a Japanese city with a soccer field on top of it: “You gotta have a lot of balls to do that.”

    I didn’t even know there was a parade on Columbus Day. Nor did I have the day off. Nor did I care. I’ve never appreciated Columbus Day because it fed into the lies that everyone in Europe thought the world was flat because it supposedly said so in the Bible, and ignored the fact that the Vikings (and others) had been coming to America for 100s or a 1000 years before Columbus. I even heard from a young earth creation speaker that there was evidence that Africans were trading with South Americans 1000s of years ago. But you made a good point about Columbus’ re-discovery being a gift from God as it gave Christians the opportunity to worship Jesus Christ freely in America, without persecution, allowing Christianity to flourish and saving the souls of millions.
