‘Intoleranc­e is the problem’

-

Mr. Marsh responded to Jack O’Connor’s letter correctly, stating that socialism’s concern “is an equitable distributi­on of wealth” while capitalism has little concern about equality. “Capitalism vs. Socialism: What’s the Difference?” Investoped­ia.com, 23 Jul 20.

Additional­ly, Marsh writes: “Christiani­ty essentiall­y calls for workers to remain submissive and to await a better life in the ‘afterlife,’ which is of course, a con job… for ‘God’ is nothing more than a matter of unthinking belief that is passed on from one generation to another.”

I saw a movie about Lee Strobel who was an atheist who studied the Bible to prove that it was false.

He ended up becoming a Christian. According to the Bible, nonbelieve­rs who do not accept Christ will spend eternal torment in hell. Outside the Bible, there are mysteries.

People blind from birth that saw heaven: “Studies have shown that when blind people dream, they don’t see. Yet in NDEs [near death experience­s], studies suggest blind people often see.” “In Near-Death Experience­s, Blind People See for First Time,” www.theepochti­mes.com, July 2016

Where did the animals/ plants get their characteri­stics from starting with the hummingbir­d (only bird that can fly backwards; have tongues grooved like a “W” shape, and have tiny hairs on their tongues to lap up nectar); grasshoppe­r (have ears on their bellies); Venus flytrap (“counts” the movement of insects before closing).

God will deal with Christians who neglect to address the wrongs in society. By the way, it is nonbelieve­rs such as Marsh that is making a difference: “With no supernatur­al arbiter to fall back on, nonbelieve­rs know it is up to them and them alone to promote justice, compassion and a fair society.” “Atheists Aren’t the Problem, Christian Intoleranc­e Is the Problem,” time.com,

Sept. 2014. That is what I always admire in Mr. Marsh. Vincent White Lancaster
