Letter to the Editor:
Recently, I've received volumes of unsigned, feel-good religious quotations. What's the point? Should I be lulled to sleep by meaningless rhetoric? How can Christians find peace while others suffer. How can Christians find contentment while subverting the Bible to demonize those who disagree with their self-serving, hateful interpretations? How can Christians claim to know Jesus while passing judgement and propagating hate?
Hate groups are growing and finding refuge within the religious right. Coincidence? Their quest for money and power blinds them to the gospel's primary message of unconditional, nonjudgmental love and respect. How can you claim to love others while denying their right to think for themselves? How can you have all the answers when you've never listened to the questions?
Love, respect and forgiveness are the lights that will redeem the world. People aren't saved by preaching. They're saved by listening, loving and forgiving. God's Love is not a noun. It is a verb!
If there is an Anti-Christ, he's preaching his judgemental Gospel of hate from the pulpit. He's gathering earthly wealth and power unto himself while pacifying the flock with pointless, feel-good theological rhetoric.
