Here is what Pope Francis, the spokesman of 1.3 billion Christians says:

I know a lot of wonderful, open and accepting people from a number of different religions, so I know it isn’t the book that makes the person.
That said, it makes me just as sad that people will rush to defend religion from the criticisms against people like Reimer (saying “oh, he doesn’t represent us”), but don’t seem to be in any hurry to be the first to defend the people that beliefs like the ones Reimer holds devalue.
He doesn’t represent all Christians, but it’d be nice if the Christians that remind us of that would show it instead of putting all their focus on saying it, which most often seems the case.
