The insolence of the Florida pastor is a direct contradiction of Jesus's teaching in the Gospels that the Golden Rule is the core of God's law: Love God above all, and "love your neighbor as you love yourself." Or, as Rabbi Hillel also summed up the Torah: "That which is hateful to you, do not do to your fellow." Or even as Mohammed said in his final sermon: "Hurt no one so that no one may hurt you." The Golden Rule has many examples in many religions. JOHN WIDEN, MINNEAPOLIS
