The last couple of days I have been spouting against religious bigotry. There have been articles in the paper that spurred my rant. The worst came last night and this morning. After the horrendous earthquake in Haiti and the massive devastation that has resulted, a noted fundamental preacher in the United States declared the Haitians deserved the earthquake for making a pact with the devil 200 years before.
This is supposedly a "Christian" man.
I do not believe that for one moment.
I once knew a Jewish man whose parents sent he and his brother to England and then to the States shortly before the Nazis reached their town. Sig never saw his parents again. They died in a concentration camp. Sig and his brother came to know the kindness of many Christians and Jews. I remember saying "I like Christians. Nice people. Just wish there were more of them." Meaning, he knew some people saying they were Christian, but their actions stated differently.
I guess we need to work towards making the difference.

I am appalled that someone calls himself Christian and then says such wicked things! People like that give real Christians a bad name and turn others away from the truth. It is so sad. I just hope that people see him for who he is and realise that every religion attracts undesirable types with their own private axe to grind!
