Alas, Christians cannot personally associate themselves with that kind of talk but that does not mean to boycott the great classic of The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn.

However imposing the Rock may be, even more impressive are the grounds on which it was built, as they have vast historical significance and are a foundational component of the belief systems of Muslims, Christians, and Jews.
