Remember I didn't say it was necessarily a good source, just that it
|
|
looked good.

The site was http://www.religioustolerance.org/chr_10c7.htm

My memory of what they said was accurate. I do not have the competence

to defend what they said. James Tauber's response indicates a breadth

of knowledge I can't match.
