Unlike Martin's offense (which appears to be without malice) this response
is an inflammatory generalization that is very disturbing. If the word
"xians" were substituted with any other term for a religious adherent (Jews,
Muslims, etc.) it would be considered a completely intolerable statement in
any context.
Moreover, while these words "In Christ" may have been out of place on B-
HEBREW, they were no more so than this response was inappropriate for B-
GREEK!
I hope the list manager admonishes Marcel CoumontBeisig who, with one stroke
, has insulted all Christians who attempt to be sensitive to religious
diversity and embrace religious tolerance as a life-principle.
Sincerely,
Brent Hudson
