Or of course the translator had a good grasp of their language. It's often a prerequisite of the job.

Its funny how your cynicism fades when you start arguing from the other side of the fence.

It's funny how people are picking holes in a little anecdote of something that happened 500 years ago.

Kind of ironic

It's how I address everything to be honest.


And it really doesn't seem plausible!

Possibly not. There's another story about a jew, forced to dig his own grave by the nazis and then stand there to be shot, who dropped his pants and bent over.

Almost certainly not true, but by the gods it ought to be.

Quite possibly the words were put into the Indian's mouth by someone who despised the evil and cynical acts of a corrupt religion.

Those who support religion without much critical thought will be quick to criticise such terrible deviation from the absolute truth.

The rest of us will understand.

If I had just done a random reply no doubt something else would have been read into it.


There really are some nasty snide, vindictive people on here aren't there?
