I am surprised that the Sun published such a bitter and biased letter as written by Ernest Izett in last week's Sun. It has prompted me to write my first ever letter to the editor!

Obviously Mr Izett ignores such great men as Emperor Constantine of Rome, King James V of England, George Washington and John Adams (1^St & 2^nd Presidents of USA), John Wycliffe, Tyndale (who was burned at the stake for translating the Bible into the common language of the English people), Martin Luther and thousands of others, who had much higher views of the Bible than he. I don't know why Mr Izett should be so anti the Bible as it has done him no harm. On the contrary it has changed people's lives and the course of history. Think of a world without Biblical morals!

I myself have read, studied and taught the Bible for over 50years and it has changed my life. It has given an explanation for creation, (as opposed to the unproven and unreasonable theory of evolution). It has provided the meaning of life, a guide for moral living and a hope for eternity. In all my reading I have found no lies, untruths, discrepancies and mythologies as mentioned by Mr Izett and my challenge to him is to read it from cover to cover with an open mind. It may just change his heart from one of bitterness and bias to one of tolerance and understanding.

Sure people tell lies after having sworn on God's Holy Book, but that's no fault of the Bible and God will deal with them when they face the final judgement. As for atheists not telling lies… that is a lie in itself. The biggest lie they perpetuate is that ‘there is no God' and the Bible has something to say about that too in Psalm 14:1.
