TO THE EDITOR:
Ignorance is not bliss; it’s arrogance and disrespect, both of which were prominent in Memet Walker’s column (“How to Lose a Guy in 2,000 Years”).
Although I was saddened by this cheap shot, I was more surprised with the lack of knowledge about Christianity.
Christianity isn’t one monolithic group, and the idea that Jesus may have had a wife has been debated since 150 A.D.
However, as the article does state, why believe the Bible? Parts of the Bible have been translated into more than 2,000 languages and thus it has questionable diction.
As an Episcopalian, I don’t take the Bible for face value. We read it with the message of spreading God’s love.
So let Jesus have a wife. It doesn’t change the fact that my chaplain is a married woman, and my priest growing up was openly homosexual.
So next time you want to bash someone, maybe you should be a fisher of facts.
