Sir, – I failed to see the point of Emer McLysaght’s piece published on the day Christians call Good Friday, other than as an exhibition of insensitivity and ignorance – although this might be mitigated by her speaking as if from a child’s perspective (“Catholic church and drag queens have one thing in common: they live for the drama”, People, April 7th). Will the next column highlight Passover and Ramadan with equal trivialisation? – Yours, etc,

Sir, Joe Lenihan (Letters, April 8th) contends that his belief in the resurrection of Jesus Christ is deserving of respect from those who do not share his faith. I couldn’t disagree more. While he is entitled to believe anything he wants, he should not expect people to respect beliefs that they regard as nonsense.
And Mr Lenihan should feel perfectly entitled to disrespect people’s non-belief in the supernatural, too. –Yours, etc,
