OK, I have to Deny Ignorance here. Their most definitely was a Columbus, we have his diaries and journals, public records of his imprisonment and
journals from the crew members, almost all of whom were criminals. (Columbus acted so cruelly, that when he returned to Spain, he was thrown in prison
for it, as he created such bad public relations with the Indians. This was by monarchs who fully backed the Inquisition, BTW, Ferdinand and Isabella,
which says alot about how cruel Columbus must have been.)
The Colombe and the dove has NOTHING, absolutely nothing to do with human sacrifice, where do you get this stuff? Colombe wasn't even a deity until a
French person invented her in the late 1600's.
Remember Noah released a dove on the 40th day of the great flood, as a symbol of peace? She brought back an olive branch and the symbol of the dove
with the olive branch became a universal symbol of peace and love. The name was also borne by several martyrs and saints. I doubt that the Catholic
church would be OK with that if the dove was a symbol of human sacrifice, they would have changed the names.
Google "Christopher Columbus diaries", also Colombe. You will find nothing there that says Colombe is an ancient deity or that she is a symbol of
child sacrifice.
If you only do a little research, you will not understand the whole concept underlying things, especially mythology. Also,where you get your
information is important. A simple Google search would have you brought up Columbus's diaries, proof that he did indeed exist. A simple Googling of
Colombe, would have told you that there is no connection between her and child sacrifice or doves and child sacrifice.
Why we still celebrate Columbus Day is beyond me. After all, he committed genocide, wiping out the Taino Indians of Cuba (IIRC), casually cutting off
ears and noses of Indians as he walked around, and atrocities too horrible to go into here. We now know he didn't "discover" America, and he
wasn't even a very good sailor, he had difficulty finding his way around. He contributed not one good thing to the world, but did commmit alot of
atrocities.
In closing, I'd like to present a quote by him. It is in the very beginning of Howard Zinn's excellent book "A People's History of the United
States". Columbus had just arrived in the New World, just met the indigenous Indians and pronounced:
“They would make fine slaves. With fifty men we could subjugate them all and make them do whatever we want." In some other places, it is translated
as servants, but the original wording was "slaves" not "servants".

Don't Waste Time, you're wasting my time again. You didn't write much, but what you did write is full of misinformation. A quick Google search of 2
minutes would have told you the real facts.
