Dear Editor,
I find it abhorrent that Romney feels the need to justify his faith to anyone.
The majority of people in this country professes a belief in a supreme deity. They also profess an innate knowledge of the workings of the mind of that deity – they know how to make him wag his tail as well as get him pissed off.
Of these people, a rift of sorts has developed, usually derived from the fact that each of the Gods worshiped has tried his hand at publishing and each of the books, periodicals and essays are infallible and a guide to life everlasting. It seems that even when the book, periodical or essay is agreed upon by a number of group members, the interpretation of said works leads to further rifts on the path to life everlasting.
Given the above as fact, I ask you, why should a person who believes in a certain deity, but who’s book, periodical or essay states that horses roamed the Americas before the Spanish brought them, be forced to defend his belief to a person whose deity has a book, periodical or essay that states a talking snake tricked a rib woman into eating from a magical tree.
We are at war, people are starving, the economy is forcing people out of their homes, diseases we thought were things of the past are now back to haunt us. We must not quibble over whose book, periodical or essay will bring the wrath of Santa. I mean God upon us, we need leaders, not storytellers.
