I find it funny how we can revere anything historical, the more I learn about history, the more I get disillusioned by people and institutions. Currently I feel there are two ways to meet that problem: With ignorance: "Oh, Buddhism is a thing of peace an enlightenment, as opposed to Christianity, which a vicious God condemns people to hell." or with acceptance: "There are people who just did things in contexts I might just never truly understand, some of it might be of value and some of it might not be of value. Is there anything I can learn from that?" Nothing is untainted. The best anyone can do is just separate the wheat from the chaff and move on.
