Bumper-Sticker-Believers

RECEIVED Tue., Feb. 14, 2006

Editor,
    My, my, my. Here we are in the 21st century and people are still having trouble distinguishing reality from symbolism. Put an image of a Bible and a crotch together and, according to some of your readers, you've destroyed my children, destroyed my belief in choice, and destroyed my faith ["The New Texas Family Planning," News, Jan. 27]!
    What kind of bumper-sticker-believers are these? Wasn't there a time when faith, conviction, and resolve were the core of one's beliefs? At what point did some of us become so weak and silly? Go ahead and be offended. Go ahead and boycott the offensive. Go ahead and rail against your perceived enemy. But before thou protest too much, check and make sure your heart and your brain are still connected.
Yours,
Stanley Gilbert
