Believer

Dear Sir:

Is the Cavalier Daily in such
need of material to fill its pages
that it will print such offensive
matter as the letter written by
Mr. Paul Evans (Tue., March
13)? The letter clearly showed
the bias and ignorance of Mr.
Evans.

Certainly, Mr. Evan's own
unbelief in the Christian
religion did not warrant his
rude attack on the religion.
Furthermore, his statements
were not factual. There is
nothing in the teaching of
Christ that could support his
accusation that Christianity is
"socially repressive and
humanly degrading."

As for myself, I, as a
Christian believer, have a deep
feeling of joy, contentment
and peace of mind that is
completely satisfying.

If you find love,
compassion and understanding
repressive and degrading, the
fault is with you, Mr. Evans,
not Christianity.
