Without getting Christian's side, how can truth be found?

Since your article was in the "opinion" category, my opinion is that what you've written is unprofessional, at best.

Not only have you used your newspaper inappropriately and irresponsibly as the publisher, by venting your own personal feelings, but you have misrepresented the facts surrounding the DAPC and Virgil Christian. I'm amazed you haven't spoken with Virgil Christian himself and if so did not reflect this in your crusade to ruin families.

One thing is crystal clear. You are a master at weaving a very convincing tale to any persons not involved in these matters. As you and I both know, there is much more to a story than what is on the surface. Unless you speak with Virgil Christian himself, you will never know.

It seems justice has not been served here. How can anyone determine the truth in this matter unless both sides are represented fairly? Can you stand before God and say you have done this? True justice belongs to the Lord Jesus Christ, doesn't it?
