Paper shouldn't have allowed use of term 'antichrist'

 

Editor,

Standard-Examiner editors made the unacceptable decision to print these two sentences from a reader’s letter in the Saturday, Feb. 16, edition: “Is there such a thing as a homosexual Christian? If so, then it must be an antichrist.”

Why are these words unacceptable for publishing in your newspaper and on your website? First, many Christians consider the concept of an “anti-christ” to be a figure of pure, concentrated evil. The antichrist is as horrible as you can get for many people.
