Peter Rodriguez (to the Point, January 14) conflates behaviour and belief. The
‘mayhem occurring throughout the world’ is a behaviour expressing, at root,
psychotic pride which is an abuse of religious belief.
I refer Rodriguez and
Christopher Hitchens who think ‘religion poisons everything’, to the
official Christian definition: ‘Religion that is pure and undefiled before God
the Father is this: to care for orphans and widows in their distress, and to
keep oneself unstained by the world’. Who could quarrel with that?
