Mr. Curran has been blessed with an uncommon talent to be able to produce a lengthy column every other week and he does so with contents that appear unbiased, reasonable and coherent- no small feat. But invariably, he throws in his angle which in today's column regarding the horrible slaughter in Paris by ISIS includes the canard that all religions are equal, that all their foundational books are holy and can be interpreted anyway which way. "The problem does not lie in the text of the Quran, but the zealot's interpretation of this holy work. Not dissimilar to the Christian Bible, the Book of Mormon, the Talmud, or the philosophies of Confucius...In reality, these texts are Play Dough and can be molded to convey whatever message one wants them to." It is too disturbing to point out that one book declares war on infidels and another that the gentiles are like the beast of the field; better to cover up these painful truths and pontificate about how all religions can be molded by interpretation. It is too disturbing to point out that the Christian Bible was written by God to give knowledge of salvation to his people by the remission of their sins through Christ and that its message has no equal in any other of the books mentioned by Mr. Curran.

Then there is the cheap shot against “anti-immigrant politicians like far right leader Marine Le Pen”. Mr. Curran and his fellow travelers on the far left cannot resist maligning those who dare to suggest that John Lennon ‘s “Imagine” is a lie, and that this dream where there is no heaven, no hell, no religion, no borders etc is just that, a product of imagination written to appease unbelievers. It is much easier to cover up reality with the hope of a universal brotherhood and the dribble about multi-culturalism, diversity, tolerance than to deal with the reality that there is only a brotherhood in sin.

Thankfully, the day is approaching when the mask will come off and Mr. Curran will write a column extolling the virtues of Hillary.
