Oct 05 2023 - Indigenous Columbus Day!

Today is Columbus Day, or as many people now call it, “Indigenous People Day.” A lot of people don’t like Christopher Columbus. In his own diary he talks about “reaching the people who don’t know Christ and teaching them about Jesus.” Of course the Spanish had other ideas. They wanted gold. But the Europeans are great to criticize because they conquered the indigenous people. I would like to know of one group that now occupies anywhere that didn’t conquer the people there in the 1st place! Unless you go back thousands of years in Australia, and the Aboriginal people there. I don’t know if there were any other people there before them that they had to conquer. But throughout history, superior technology, or superior numbers, has always acted in conquest. The American way of life is the best in the world. If it weren’t for Christopher Columbus I don’t think I’d be here now. So - thanks Chris!
