"What effect must it have on a nation if it learns no foreign languages? Probably much the same as that which a total withdrawal from society has upon an individual." --G.C. Lichtenberg
I am very gratified to see an actual instance of a formerly intolerant wingnut showing signs of meeting the rest of the world at least halfway. It's a double-bonus that it was Jesus what done it:
Jesus was tolerant and loved everyone - especially the poor and outcasts. As a couple of other letters pointed out, I now see that in some ways Jesus Himself was not very like a modern conservative and that has me thinking. I also see that all who are religious have equal rights and no religion can be held above the others, whether in school or anywhere else.
This lady blasted "Christianity" through a bullhorn, and yet was surprised to find that Jesus had been peace-loving and mild. In fact, his signature act, allowing himself to be crucified, was the ultimate expression of meekness.
Why didn't she know that already? You can't be a Christian if you don't know that. posted by David at 1/28/2005 09:39:00 AM ::
