Just this afternoon, I have been reading about,( in my smaller, less grownup, more interesting book, A.K.A. A Child's History Of the World,) how Prodestants became Prodestants, or rather protest-ants, and how they broke away from the Catholic church. What both sides did seems so un-christain like, I wonder if they actually believed in what they were fighting for. Then, all the kings and Queens! Bloody Mary, Philip the II, even Queen Elizabeth who is supposed to have been a pretty good queen even though she was a women, had her cousin killed because she was a Catholic. Were these people really christains, or were they just trying to make themselves look good? Is it possible they killed all these people out of sheer spite?

This is a great question. So, were these people "Christian" or were they actually Christian. (Notice the spelling of the word.) It certainly seems like a blindspot for these folks. Wonder what people will notice about the blindspots of Christians and "Christians" in our own time. - Dad
