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. The search for faith and God has troubled many of us for years. We have only to read the accounts of Mother Teresa to understand that even the most devout Christians struggle with these concepts.

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.
