I did not submit the foregoing "Commentary" piece for publication. Instead I submitted the following LTE.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR



Dear Editor St. Paul  "Pioneer Press":



The Honorable Jesse Ventura, Governor of Minnesota is wrong about religion.


Religion is not for weak minded people, it's for...moral cowards.


Sincerely yours,




Gary Deering

ex-moral coward


PS

When it comes to religion there are three kinds of people in the world, not two 
as Jesse implies in his recent Playboy interview.  The three kinds are:

    

  1. victims

  2. victimizers

  3. moral cowards




Many people are brainwashed into religion at an extremely early age and are
thereby, victims.  I myself was a victim.


The professional "those" who did the brainwashing are the: "victimizers".


Those who know that there is no god and pretend otherwise are the 
moral cowards.


The end: respectfully submitted
