COLUMBINE AND GOD IN THE SCHOOLS

["Archie" <archie@moscow.com>]

Dear Wolfgang;
Your comments are quite revealing.  I was shocked when you made threats
against Mr. Coombs.  It was you who violated basic social norms.  Mr. Coombs
was protesting that someone, admittedly distressed, was encouraging Congress
to force a particular religion into our school system.  Your violent
reaction to Mr. Coombs protest, coupled with staunch defense of that
particular religion, illustrates the very reasons we don't want that brand
of religion adopted by the state.  The history of Christianity is littered
with the dead bodies of those who had other beliefs.  As you say, "off on a
crusade."  I find it amazing that anyone thinks teaching this kind of
religion will lead to less violence!
