I AM so glad Mr Soley has written about God (Citizen March 16). It gives us a chance to open up a good debate.

Unfortunately in the past religious people have been over-zealous, but Jesus said "love one another" and he came to change our attitudes and to save us.

Unless you read, and discuss with people who have studied the Bible and relevant sources of the time, you will find it difficult to understand.

But if you try to live your life following Jesus and putting others first, you will come to realise that it does make a better world.

My father used to say "two wrongs don't make a right." So don't follow the normal way of life -- rise above it.
