Elisabeth I do agree with you that we cant be removing scabs off healing
wounds and let them bleed again (and make a mess!) but has it been
established that temples were razed to the ground to make room for churches?
If the answer is yes then has this destruction been documented and included
in our school history books? Like you I haven't been following this
discussion.
