Letters to the Editor

Mocking Christians Not Funny

Baldwin United Methodist pastor writes in the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.

Rev. Dr. Bruce E. Bryce isn't laughing. Bryce, the congregational care pastor at the Baldwin Community United Methodist Church in Whitehall Borough, wrote an April 24 letter to the editor of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette in which he asks for respect for Christians when it comes to ridicule. "When a Jew or Muslim is degraded, offended or ridiculed, it's called anti-Semitism," Bryce writes. "When the public display of the Ten Commandments is challenged, it's called civil liberty. When a Christian is humiliated, satirized or dishonored, it's called comedy." Bryce has wondered if the "Golden Rule" no longer applies. "Maybe it only depends on if it gets a laugh or not," he writes. Read Bryce's full letter here. Thoughts? Share them in the …
