Shocked and Appalled

Dear Editor:

Last posting’s “Dear Abbot” column was out of line. What Abbot has is a theory about God and worse, he is trying to prove it with a statement that it is true because he believes in it.

Skeptical

Dear Skeptical:

If he is, I sure missed it. Any more than I am saying that I have a theory that my nose exists, and it is true because I believe it. I don’t need a theory that my nose exists, and all such theories are beside the point when I am about to sneeze.

As I do not need a theory of walking. Or to sit and ponder the question of whether I can walk or not.
