Pastor stands by sign saying Quran should be flushed
I often wonder how much better off we'd all be if priests and ministers, instead of criticizing other religions and practices, spent the same amount of time helping their own followers be better people. For example, here's the beginning of an article in the News and Observer:A Baptist minister refuses to apologize for a church sign saying the Muslim holy book should be flushed.The sign certainly isn't going to change the opinions of anyone who doesn't believe that in the first place. And, in my mind, it makes the church look hateful. So what's the point?"I believe that it is a statement supporting the word of God and that it (the Bible) is above all and that any other religious book that does not teach Christ as savior and lord as the 66 books of the Bible teaches it, is wrong," said the Rev. Creighton Lovelace of Danieltown Baptist Church. "I knew that whenever we decided to put that sign up that there would be people who wouldn't agree with it, and there would be some that would, and so we just have to stand up for what's right."
