I'm grateful to mfarkus for that great capsule history...and glad that it's being allowed to continue. Religion is tied up in most history...that's just the way it is and it's historical fact and context...no way around it. Discuss it but don't get screwy about it.

But, again, a great summary...I'm going to print it out and give it to my daughter to save in her history book (with your kind permission, please, mfarkus?).

Best
