Letters to the Editor

Letter: Reason and religion

Having spent 25 years as a leader in a Pentecostal megachurch cult, I certainly can say a hearty amen to Mr. Gordon Bowen’s recent letter, “The gospel according to St. Donald.”

Most fail to see the obvious regarding Trump supporters, anti-vaxxers and climate deniers. Their beliefs are effectively a religion, and nobody can dissuade a person by reason from a belief that they didn’t reach by logic in the first place.
