A police force of good against evil

IT is excellent news that crime in my old town of Evesham has dropped by 21 per cent.

Hearty congratulations to the boys (and girls) in Blue. Good will triumph over evil in the long end - the Bible assures us of that.

GEORGE COWLEY, Windermere Drive, Worcester.

I have often met the criticism that in terms of ethics we live on Christian capital, that our moral attitudes are
based on Christianity. I beleive this to be utterly wrong, and that, on the contrary, what goes for modern Christian ethics
is in fact derived from humanist values. For most of its history Christianity was red in tooth and claw. Its only in the
last couple of centuries that their attitudes have gradually become civilised and humane. Why ? Beacause of the
rise of humanism and skepticism/science. It has given Christianity its human face which often quotes the very nice things that Jesus
is reported to have said, and carefully omits the nasty things.
Morality is doing what is right, no matter what you are told.
Religion is doing what you are told no matter what is right.

I admire and respect your efforts and sentiment, Mr. Huggins, but sadly you won't get through to George!

Mainly because he doesn't have a computer!

Do you ever read his almost daily letters, in the Worcester News?

He lives in Worcester - but on another planet!

In one letter - and they printed it - he told the world that "he likes marmalade sandwiches"!

Don't we all?
