An observation on the Lincoln Memorial

I think the Lincoln Memorial is a fine piece of architecture but that turning Abraham Lincoln into an idol with a huge sculpture in Washington DC is anti-Christian. 

Personalities don't matter to God (Acts 10:34) and so we should not be glorifying them.

It's only actions that count, not the person that does them, and so actions can be lauded but the person carrying them out should not be idolised in any way.

True history, official stories and conspiracies

Many people seem to think that the truth about any given historical event is either "the official story" or a conspiracy theory. 

But in many cases it's just another story that is different to the "official" one. 

There are many reasons why the official account may be false that don't rely on the existence of any widespread conspiracy taking place to hide the truth. 

It may just come from a miscalculation or mistake by reporting bodies or from the lies or misunderstanding of one or more people central to the original telling of the story.
