re: "Using force is no way to defend the monarchy" (BP, November 10, 2020)
Dear editor,
Thank you Atiya Achakulwisut for another constructive, lucidly argued piece. The use of force has ever been a reliable indicator that there are no good reasons that can provide a rational, moral defence of faith-based ideology, whether religious or political, or both.
The ultra-loyalist political zealots do have much in common with the more fanatical religious nutters on holy jihad to seek out and suppress by any means they can get away with idolaters, infidels, blasphemers, heretics, philosophers, historians, scientists and any others, such as intelligent, informed, inquisitive students displaying healthy critical thinking skills, who might oppose their sacred faith with fact, reason, or moral decency.
