Editor,
It’s the mistaken and unfortunate distraction of Pauline Christianity that makes people believe they represent Christ when in fact they very much do not. If they would only read the Gospels instead of mouthing words proclaimed by the so-called “apostle” to the nations.
Christ represented compassion to the thieves, prostitutes and downtrodden, as is exemplified in most of the passages in Mark, Luke, Matthew and John. When the woman caught in the act of adultery was presented to him for stoning, he shamed the conservatives and religious leaders by reminding them “whoever is without mistakes shall cast the first stone.” Christ, thank God, was not a Christian.
