Dear Editor, In his response to my letter ["Postmarks," March 19], Michael Ventura in effect states that he didn't have enough space to get his Passion column right, yet he had enough space to get it wrong ["Letters @ 3am," March 5]. Mr. Ventura cites Luke 13:31 but not Matthew Chapter 23. No doubt, Joseph of Arimathaea was among "certain" Pharisees to warn Jesus, but to contend that Jesus and the Pharisees were on friendly terms takes egregiousness to a new level. It assumes no one actually reads the Bible. It also denigrates God's love and his warnings about the entrapment of Babylonian/Canaanite satanism.
