Lord Stefan:

That comment was not intended as an endorsement of any beliefs and I won't
stray from the original point to argue religion.  The point of that paragraph
was, we have to acknowledge both sides of the coin when we look at our past. 
The overall point of the entire post was, we should understand the reality of
history but not let that keep us from trying to act better than that history. 
I hope that came across.

And a foreign king for a mark!
