I went looking for the good news that would come from the passage I remembered from the RSV I received in 1956. The closest I could find in today's translations is "Or those eighteen people who were killed when the tower at Siloam fell on them --do you think they were more guilty than everyone else who lived in Jerusalem?" in Luke 13:4. I have toured the battlefields at Gettysburg and Shiloh and I've been insulted by Southerners like Steve Austin first governor of Texas was. The military reenactment at Ojibway Island in Saginaw was a totally different picture and meeting the enthusiasts there both North and South was a pleasureable weekend. Here is some writing found at Siloam in 1880 that may pertain.
