I reckoned the people who liked Miz Bourdillon’s books were the religious sort, and shouldn’t they be the kind of people who’d show forgiveness and compassion instead of pure red-hot hate? Didn’t make sense to me. Then I got to thinking again about how Jesus wasn’t real kind to the Pharisees—I knew about them from Libby’s church. They were the religious experts. I wondered how many religious folks nowadays acted like those Pharisees. And then I wondered long and hard how Jesus would feel about them.
