Letter to
the editor
THE EDITOR,
Now that that the village petition
has been laid to rest; it truly earned
its demise; would it not appropriate
to ask the "nit-picker" councillors
to resign? Who in their right minds
would advocate, "a make work
effort", adding expense, indirectly
to the taxpayers, hunting nickels
and dimes that are not lost, never
were lost and readily accounted for.
What a state of affairs this village
would be in were it not for the
"majority" of our council.
Villagers: read the minutes of the
council meetings. They are
approved and passed by council
and are accessible to you. They are
the facts, not slanted views and
opinions.
Could it be, that the intelligence
of the ratepayers is being insulted?
Could it be, that a shared interest
dominates honesty and integrity?
Could it be, the request for new
office filing cabinets was a "no-
no", fearing what lurks at the
bottom of the old ones?
Could be!
Verne Dakin.
Reader voices objections to pastor's letter
THE EDITOR,
In response to Pastor Carne's
letter (Feb. 17, Citizen) with more
enlightenment, he might realize this
is the Twentieth Century.
If Came finds the literature of
Thomas Paine mentally harmful, he
must also find documents such as
the American Constitution or the
U.N. Charter of Human Rights also
hazardous, where his philosophy is
very much alive today.
Humanists and atheists alike
form opinions by means of critical
thinking and human reasoning,
shaped by all available evidence,
including the bible. How else
would one become a non-believer?
The bible is an ancient science
book from our primitive ancestors
to explain how natural phenomenon
occurred. One believed some
supernatural being must be behind
it. Taken literally, the world would
be flat, the universe would revolve
around the earth, and a Godtalker
would still be performing an
exorcism on one to cure a bad case
of constipation.
It is amusing that one can swear
an oath on the bible in a court of
law yet it couldn't be entered as
evidence as we are only told it's the
word of God, it's neither authored
or dated, and therefore becomes
hearsay, not reliable at all.
Personally, I have yet to meet a
born or genuine "born-again"
Christian, Jew, Muslim, or Hindu.
It is a myth. Human beings are all
born humanists. One does have to
be indoctrinated into any one
particular religion. Came should
understand that if he were born in
India he would be worshipping a
three headed God rather than the
"one true God". To humanists
nothing is above inquiry including
oneself, the bible, or the Godtalkers
and what they preach, which is not
to say all of what Christianity
teaches, is harmful.
Newspapers are an open forum to
debate events, ideas, and opinions
expressed by columnists and
readers. Such debates only
encourage discussion of differing
ideas and/or beliefs in the hope of
promoting better ideas. One thing
about free speech is that I have the
right to express an opinion even if
some people find it offensive to
their religiosity. Censorship of any
kind is the least productive and a
dangerous tactic to the betterment
of society in general. In this
country there is a freedom of the
press and freedom of religion as
well as freedom from religion.
This newspaper is filled weekly
with church dogma from Christian
godtalkers who sell their product to
the unsuspecting. There are others
who read this paper who don't
subscribe to that philosophy even
though some don't like to hear it,
but that voice does have a right to
be heard if this paper is to reflect
the area it covers.
This could hardly be called a
war. Humanists don't attack
Christians, but rather challenge a
belief system which clinical
research does clearly show that
religion is hazardous to human
mental and physical health.
Some people only choose to
believe what they have been told to
believe. Adults do develop their
own concepts on life but childhood
lessons remain embedded in the
imagination and the core of the
emotions.
