Beware of these false religious zealots

I was going to write again to thank the Herald for showing us all the ignorance of religious zealots like Michael W. Jarvis with his screed against gay people (Herald online). But then I realized that this must be some sort of joke by Jarvis because surely no ignorant religious zealot, especially one from that bastion of religious reality, Salt Lake City, would quote Charles Darwin and his “laws of nature” to bolster his argument.

Remember, those people don’t believe in science, just God. No doubt many will be offended by this person’s utter ignorance of their fellow human being and by the Herald publishing his letter. But I say be cautious of false zealots who spout nonsense and hateful words, for he may not be the faithful zealot he pretends to be.

Thanks, Herald, for illustrating just how ignorant some so-called religious people can be. Even the fake ones.
