Letter to the editor: A Christian advocating for violence?

In response to the Rev. Tony Joseph’s letter “Is anyone listening to God?”: Aside from being factually inaccurate — viruses are in fact not living things, for example, despite his assertation to the contrary — it espouses bombast and great anger as he writes, “we must become Christian soldiers and fight back.” Strange words for someone who claims to be a devout member of a faith that champions forgiveness, love and compassion.

I would caution the good reverend to reexamine his faith and take stock of the principles by which he claims to live. Anyone who honestly calls themselves a Christian should never be an advocate for violence.
