Religion not at fault
In response to Matthew Sicily's sports column
(Daily Nebraskan, April 18) on Geor3 Foreman, I
have to say nay, nay. I know little about George
f oreman, or of his recent conversion, but I would
like to take issue with Sicily's supposition that, since
"the most violent acts against mankind were perpe
tratedby you guessed it Christians," it follows
that Christianity and violence are "overlapping
realities." -' FF b
Stdiy makes the common mistake of confusing an
ideal (in this case, Christianity) with the pitiful
attempts of humans to interpret and attain that
ideal 1 his is ludicrous. We all tend to do it. It is more
comfortable, and it fuels our sense of "enlightened
skepticism." Better to condemn the malingerings of
humans as flaws in the ideal than to examine the
ideal itself.-
God is, I believe, a perfect entity. If that is the case,
He is the ultimate right so right that He makes no
attempt (and has no need) to control us. Rather, He
has presented His truth and allows us the choice of
belief or disbelief. Therefore, when we humans des
troy in the name of Christianity, we have our own
frailties to blame, not Christianity's. The overlap
ping reality Eteily refers to is mankind and violence.
I don't think anyone would argue that.
There is a huge difference.

I would like to address this letter to the "parking
lot sitters" who inhabit the South Stadium metered
lot. Why do a number of this breed insist on sitting
right in front of the parking lot entrance? The ignor
ance of people, who sit waiting for vacant spots,
apparently oblivious to the fact that a line of cars is
forming behind them and well into 10th Street,
never ceases to amaze me.
I am aware that finding parking is frustrating.
However, must it also be potentially dangerous?
Surely the probability that a parking spot will be
vacated is just as great away from the parking lot
entrance where sitting cars do not present such a
hazard.
