Easter,  Lorna, the Globe, and the "Canoeist."
"I respect the author's right to believe this sort of nonsense, but do not respect the Globe's decision to print it. " the Canoeist
What Lorna wrote was very weak and probably all the Globe would accept. Jesus, God in the flesh, as man, perfect and without sin suffered and died on the cross for mankind and rose from the dead and is alive today. He took the wrath of God to pay the penalty of your sin and mine. All who truly put their faith and trust in him, or in other words repent and are born again of his Spirit in this life receive the gift of His righteousness. All  their sins were effectively nailed to the cross through His body.
The Canoeist rejects it because his eyes are blinded by the god of this world, the devil and or does not want to submit to God as his Lord.
Jesus is one prayer of repentance away and anyone can find and experience Him, His love now. and escape hell in eternity. Perhaps read Psalm 37 or John 3. Jesus loves you.
