FROM: Terry Lynch@aol.com; POB 241035; Montgomery, AL 36124-1035 Phone: (334) 272-4217 voice (334) 277-3582 fax via arrangement DATE: July 9, 1998 TO: Letter to the Editor SUBJECT: Is There More Than One God? I always thought there was one God. That apparently isn't true anymore. You can tell which God one worships by the spit and drivel which comes out of their mouth. Just look at what is going on in Ireland. Orange marchers can't march so they start rioting, throwing fire bombs and making all sorts of commotion. Doesn't look to me like they worship the same God I do and some of my ancestors came from Ireland. Things are not much better in the great US of A. Why look what people who call themselves Christians are doing. They are beating up and bashing gays. They are shooting and killing doctors who perform abortions. And their children are taking guns to school and killing other kids. Then who gets the blame? The media, of course! It never occurs to people that the God they worship might be to blame. A God who: demands obedience; who is intolerant and prejudice; who preaches hatred and separation of the races; a God that is one color for whites and another color for blacks; a God who at times in history has not even seen the red or yellow man as human. Sorry if I offend anyone, but I don't worship the same God you do. My God loves ALL people. He does not demand obedience or threaten eternal damnation to extort reverence. My God is a peace loving God. He does not batter his worshipers into submission threatening Armageddon or hell fire. Nor does he seduce them with promises of ever lasting life, eternal salvation and heavenly bliss. True, there is really only one God, a god of love. It is all who do not see this God and follow His way who are lost and damned. You know them by their drivel, asinine rhetoric, abusive accusations and hateful conduct. Please don't confuse the righteous with God's children. Sincerely, Terry Lynch Montgomery, AL
