‘Backward beliefs’

Dear Editor:

You may feel too many letters have been printed dealing with god, the Bible and religion.

I think from replies my point was proven; it seems those in the area keep quoting about the bible and Jesus. It’s their excuse to hide bigotry, narrow-minded beliefs and employ religion as a defense.

Here is my last point having gone to Catholic school. The realty of religion is simple; all those believers look at pictures of Jesus. Interesting that he always is pictured as a Nordic, white and has blond hair.

How is that possible since he was from the Middle East?

The Bible was a great novel, no more, and those that keep going on about it, use it to justify backward beliefs rather than think rationally.
