Queries & Comments

Agreeing to Disagree

Thank you for this wonderful magazine.

I don’t always agree with some of your writers, but I love to disagree.

Praise the Lord and Pass the Prozac

I received my first copy of BAR yesterday and was most pleasantly surprised. I did not expect such an attractive publication, both graphically and editorially.

On the other hand, you seem to have quite a few angry readers, don’t you? Skimming the Queries & Comments section, I was astounded by the hostility and narrowmindedness of some of your correspondents. The idea of Christian charity (or, on the other hand, of plain old common courtesy on the part of non-Christian readers) seems as wanting as rain in the desert. I suggest that your angry readers get some counseling to determine why they are so deeply hostile. They’d probably have better relations at home, as well as at work, too.
