Editor: I wish to clarify, not apologize for, my letter to God. Surly Mr. DeBoer (“More respect, please,” a letter to the editor in the Oct. 5 Chatham Voice) you must have known HE was not the intended recipient. The intent was to open eyes, start conversations and maybe have new streams for positive change.
There was never any intent to disparage or offend believers and persons of any faith, as you cleverly inferred. Sarcasm, a pinch perhaps, but mostly injected with humour. (It is said to be the best medicine for the soul.)
Here is where I apologize to my friends at Purolator, my bad!
“Utterly sacrilegious” is your opinion to which you are entitled, but maybe not one that is universally shared. Another example of how divided we have become. I can respect your point of view, as you should mine. I have not seen any proof yet that either of us is right or wrong, unless the Leafs do win the Stanley Cup.
I do find it interesting you did not challenge any of my concerns or provide solutions of your own. Does this mean we may agree on more than you first thought as you composed your response to my letter?
Lorne Meechum
