TEXAS BAPTIST FORUM:
No fear of God

You know, I usually just toss the Baptist Standard in the trash without even reading it because of its history, but I looked through it today, and nothing has changed.

Why would you print a political letter like “Holy war” (May 17) for some hateful ignorant (person) from Louisville in our Texas state paper? The letter has no merit for the Standard. Why would you misuse the paper like that?

I don't want to pick up the Baptist Standard and read someone trashing our president and his efforts to deal with terrorism. Especially when you don't print a balanced response. And the editor needs to reread the mission statement of the Standard, assuming there is one.
