Letter: Editorial page not place for religious opinions
Op-Ed · June 01, 2011


In light of (Gregory Norfleet’s) most recent column, might I ask if you are speaking from a soapbox or a pulpit?


You stated in your column that you believe that “... deep down, we all believe the Bible is the inerrant word of God.”

Who exactly is the “we” of which you speak? All Americans? Iowans? People of West Branch? Christians? Your family?

Please be certain not to include me in any future sweeping religious statements that you make. While I welcome and respect our differing political opinions, and enjoy seeing them played out on the editorial page of this paper, I submit that this is not the appropriate place to hold forth on religious matters.

Respectfully,

Dan Stevenson, West Branch
