Comment on Sunday's local commentaries

Faith, religion and human intellect
Richard A. Carr Sr.

Carr is an ordained Baptist minister and teaches at Virginia Western Community College and Hollins University.

I was saddened as I read Jerome Schleifer's commentary "Free of faith's false promise" (Aug. 29). It is obvious that Schleifer is a much troubled individual.

Story took a callous view of 911 abuse
Katie Wright

Wright is a social worker who lives in Roanoke.

I am infuriated to read the Sept. 24 story "Frivolous 911 calls: Abusing the system." This article was written so callously that I am ashamed that it came from my hometown paper. Read here.

Sunday's letters are here.
