Editor, Times-Union:

First of all, Mrs. or Miss Arnold, you have made some bad judgements. There is a difference in some one who follows Jesus Christ, a Christian, and someone who follows a man.

A religious person follows a man like those who followed Jim Jones and David Koresh. They believed in the man not in God. Man fails, makes mistakes and leads people in the wrong way as what happened.

You said Christians were spineless. Well, how much courage do you think it takes to believe when people make fun or call you names but yet expect you not to get mad think about it, could you do it? You also like to put everyone who says they are a Christian, if they are or not into this little group.

If Christians did that, all nonbelievers would be a murderer, a rapist or a drug dealer. Now, that is not a right thing to do as history as showed us. So please don't put every one together. Maybe someone hurt you that said they were a Christian. I don't know, but I do know when you lump people into groups it brings hate.

Maybe you are too young to remember the KKK. They did this and a lot of good people died. They were spineless, they were cowards and they said they were Christians but they did not know the Jesus that I know.

I am sorry you feel the way you do, but whether you like it or not, Jesus loves you. And even if you say you don't believe in him, He believes in you.

As for the one who brought up the politician, I for one have to ask my self at times do they really know Jesus. I am tired of the Democratic and the Republican parties. I would like to see some one who is more interested in this country than in their party.
