"Drying Snot"
A little over a year ago I became an NOR subscriber, and have read much of every issue since. What amazes me about your magazine is that, while I very often share your point of view, after reading it I always feel the need to take a bath. The sarcastic vitriol burns and your self-righteous denunciations cling like drying snot. Cancel my subscription.

Consider this rendering of John 3:16: "This is how God loved the world: God gave up an only son, so that every one who believes in him will have real life."
The Church must remember Christ's admonition to teach, to teach even the difficult lessons we all need to hear but don't want to.
How can one disobey God's laws with impunity, redefine rights at will, call sin a virtue, regard self-interest as "conscience," and yet "hope" to be saved by God's mercy?
