I never thought I would write an opinion letter about religion, but with it being a long front page article in The Fountain Hills Times, and perhaps a couple of rational letters in last week’s paper, I decided to add my two cents.

I thought we already had enough diversity in this town, or is the word “divisiveness,” with the various political groups. When I first saw the “Fact or Fiction” ad in the paper I asked myself, “Why?” The question “Why does it matter that Jesus…” reminded me of a certain politician saying, “What difference, at this point, does it make?”

Being raised in a Methodist church, but having been a member of a Presbyterian church since marriage, I decided to attend both a Fact and Fiction church service to see what was going on.

I felt welcome and comfortable with both services, and felt that Jesus would have been happy to attend either one. That’s not to say that I would agree with everything said in either one, but I respect the right and freedom to worship their own way.

As for me, Thomas Jefferson said it best, “Say nothing of my religion. It is known to my God and myself alone.”
