From REVD DAVID GARNER
Hazel Mackenzie excuses herself from facts out of the Bible when she
blames her friend for querying Mary’s riding on a donkey (Forum, 23/30 December).
However, a good New Scientist should check her facts first, and this could
have saved her a lot of work, and me a lot of sinful indignation at Christmas.
Nowhere does the Bible say that Mary or anyone rode to Bethlehem on a donkey.
