Also, it's not an issue of "Christians" here...

The best recent example I can think of is Ahmadinejad saying that the Holocaust did not happen.

Regardless if one is Atheist, Christian, Jew, Muslim, White, Black, Green... this is a serious and often overlooked problem that has powerful consequences. After all, these "historians" are the same people that write the books my children will be studying from. This is why it's so important to study things with the use of primary sources.
Amen to that!

Simple research skills are sorely lacking nowadays. It's one of the main reasons agenda driven revisionist history is so popular today. For example, merely listen to what's being said about WWII these days.
