“There were explorers before Columbus; the lands Columbus discovered were already inhabited by civilizations; many atrocities took place as a result of such conquests. With the historical revisionism, the language changed. The New World was not discovered, it was brutally conquered. Columbus's voyage was the opening wave of a conquest, not the beginning of a new world.”

It is in Christianity that our arts have developed; it is in Christianity
that the laws of Europe have-until recently-been rooted. It is against
a background of Christianity that all our thought has significance. ~ T.S. Eliot (in his book Christianity and Culture), quoted by Ben House

Not only is this book incredibly wise and profound, the author also quotes a wide variety of sources to illustrate his point. Here’s one, though taken out of context, that’s particularly beautiful:
“Men who saw night coming down about them could somehow act as if they stood on the edge of dawn.”

Also I had to cut the rest of the quote but it’s NOT my worldview - the quote is talking about the rewriting of history by liberal colonialism-haters. Just to clarify.

Yeah, no! 😅 Good thing I clarified! The quote was way too long for the word limit on GR updates so by the time I'd trimmed it down, most of the good stuff in the quote was gone 😂
