“Jesus Christ!“
Gordon Cheng / 30th September 2004
“Is Lord!”, we might respond. Is blasphemy one of the (many) sins we've put in the too hard basket, and decided not to tackle when it comes to our non-christian friends? I was impressed by this letter in Melbourne's Age newspaper, by someone who had taken the trouble to stick his hand up and complain...
What Dermott Brereton says in his private life is his business—but I must take exception to the inclusion of the Lord's name in his comment about Lions footballer Jonathan Brown (Sport, 28/9). I found it insensitive and disrespectful. I know such a view may seem old-fashioned in today's secular world, but there are still many of us who hold Jesus Christ in the highest esteem.
