So today is Easter Sunday, and in honor of the occasion, there is an interesting letter in today's newspaper. The letter writer calls out- by name- a person that dared thank the newspaper for running an article about a recent survey that showed that religion was on a decline and that non-believers were now 15% of the population.
The letter writer suggested that he leave the country and find a hotter one, since he would be spending eternity there.
Now, I know that true believers come in all strengths. I know that some are well-mannered, intelligent, articulate, and merely see the expanse of the universe in a different way than I do. I have no qualm with them; it is usually intellectually invigorating to speak with them, and I think we are both stronger for it.
But to those that see the devil in the shadows...
Well, I'm sure that isn't what Jesus meant by 'Love your neighbor.'
