Columnist sells Gospels too short
Columnist sells Gospels too short
In the Jan. 14 column by Bonnie Erbe ("What in God's name is Pat Robertson spouting off about this time?"), she concludes that the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John were "recorded ... several life spans before being written down." I interpret that Erbe is implying the Gospels are not eyewitness accounts as they claim to be.

Democrats need a new strategy
The working class had looked to the Democratic Party as the champion of workers' rights. It was the Democratic Party that led the charge for equal pay for equal work for minorities. In the early 1990s, the Republican Party devised a plan to label the Democrats as protectors of institutions the working class cannot in good conscience endorse. As a Christian Democrat, I still question my decision to vote John Kerry for president; however, I couldn't vote for deliberate liars.

He promised to recuse himself for conflict-of-interest reasons if confronted with such a circumstance.
