A Christlike Reproof?
A Christlike Reproof?
Dear Sir,
I would like to comment on a letter in last week's Salient (14/3/73) by Brent Ellis.
He was criticising a letter printed in the Salient on 7/3/73. Brent says that 'love thy neighbour', and 'tolerance' is nothing more than wankage, yet he maintains that he has thought about the christian dogma as he says earlier on in his letter.
"Finally — just because you grasped onto something that gives you a 'pious-trip' every Sunday, along with other boys and girls (lovely, so sweet and adolescent)".
He seems to think that church is a pretty and sweet place for boys and girls, but any deep-thinking person knows better. If Brent could try and grasp the idea that there are many intelligent and tolerant people in the church he would be better off, for his letter is written in great ignorance and shows just how intolerant he is.
Yours etc.
Nigel Williams.
P.S. — I am not the writer of the letter dated 7/3/73 that Brent criticised.
