Think again: God can’t be forced out

Certainly, we all need to look at how we are behaving and what we can do to make the lives of all citizens better. We can all do better.

But what was Roger Smith attempting to blame (“We Are All Ooltewah Owls,” Feb. 25); did he just misspeak? God cannot be “forced out” of anywhere; God cannot be “replaced with” anything. Was he referring to some routines or activities that relate to somebody’s religion?

I don’t think any positive suggestions result from nonsensical allegations, inflammatory statements. Mr. Smith, you can do better.
