Letter: Hate for religious values

Don once again, shows his anger, hatred, bitterness, and contempt for people who have any kind of religious values.

He goes on to refer to people with religious beliefs, who believe in a governing Supreme Being, with a set of laws and rules to live by as brainwashed, and says, with his authority, that there is no afterlife, no heaven, no hell, and no proof.

Well, Don, we do have historical proof of Divine Providence. We have Jesus Christ, the Son of God, who was incarnated in man 2,000 years ago.

Our Lord, Jesus Christ, at the age of 30 started his mission of the salvation of humanity and the beginning of his establishment of his Universal Church, the Catholic Church.

He started his salvific mission by choosing his 12 apostles and immediately preparing them for their holy ministry.

Jesus traveled throughout Judeo from village to village teaching and preaching the new gospel of love, forgiveness, love of neighbor, and a set of commandments to live by and obey.

As Jesus traveled from village to village, he performed many miracles to prove he was, indeed, the son of the living God. He raised people from the dead, cured the sick, the blind, the lame, the leopards, the possessed, and the multiplication of a few pieces of bread and fish to feed over 5,000 people.

At the end of his ministry at the age of 33, he was seized and arrested by the Jewish leaders of the synagogue. He was found guilty of blasphemy for saying the truth that he and the father in heaven, God, were one.

Jesus was sentenced to death by crucifixion and was nailed on a wooden cross, suffered unbearable pain for three agonizing hours and died and was buried. Three days later, on Sunday morning, Jesus arose from the dead to prove that he was the son of the living God, the father in heaven.

Lastly Don, do you need anymore proof of a living God in control of our universe or do you intend to continue to live in your perpetual state of denial?
