Editor,
Recently, Rebecca Miller’s brilliant letter brought the poser status of Minister Yates to our attention. Somehow, this “Protestant” reinterpreted the Bible to mean he and his flock can be in favor of abortion rights. What is he thinking? Real ministers and all good Christians hate abortions. And what’s with the church letting all these other important values disintegrate? I wouldn’t be surprised if Yates believes sodomites have a right to live, even marry. Everyone knows if you’re an adulterer or an ungrateful youth, you should be stoned and for God’s sake, don’t eat shellfish. It’s almost as if the people have turned their backs on God and the Bible. I would also like to applaud the Christian bravery of Victor Murthy, who, if you remember, brought another filthy, deadly sin to our attention — gluttony. Hedonistic overeating is still rampant in our society. I’ve seen it in the churches. Read your Bible. Read, read and read again. We need to get back to our Middle Eastern roots. Good Christians of Albuquerque, for God’s, and humanity’s sake, you must always interpret the Bible literally.
