Letter: Bashing Christians again

Editor, Daily News:

Over the last several months, when certain letter writers criticize another letter writer they feel has wronged a person or group, they say something like, "If they are Christians, how can they write such things?"

First of all, why the assumption these people are Christians? Couldn't they be of another religion or atheists? And if they are Christian, so what! Can't they have an opinion you may disagree with? More Christian-bashing, and not very subtle!

This leads me to the hype over "The Da Vinci Code." I have not read the book or seen the movie yet. But I have watched The History Channel on two occasions to see "Beyond the Da Vinci Code." I did so to get a perspective of the book by seeing enactments and hearing critics of the book give their insights. I found it very interesting as the program unraveled the book and its speculations.

Some critics would say some things are plausible, but there is no proof. Not once did anyone say that anything in the book was a fact.

So there you have it. Parts are plausible, but no facts! It is a book of fiction. But again, why all the media hype? I see it as another attempt to try to undermine the Christian faith.

With all the effort these people put into this, maybe if they had a little "Christianity" in their lives, life would be far better!
