Faith as a way of life

In his Aug. 7 Pick of the day letter (“A fair question for a Muslim writer”), Robert A. Young quotes an unnamed web commentator’s “Islam is not just a religion; it is a way of life.”

Young doesn’t say if he thinks that is good, bad or merely ­interesting.

Wouldn’t it be wonderful if Christianity were not just a religion, but a way of life?

Perhaps more of us would not only tolerate but actually love our enemies.
