I would like to thank Benjamin Greathouse for his reminder that hate still exists both on this campus and in churches around the country ("Homosexuality is a sin, Bible says so" SN 7/14).

I am glad his chemistry degree has bestowed upon him the mastery of all theology, Biblical interpretations and the voice for Christians everywhere.

With such credentials, I wonder if he gets as angry when The State News writes an editorial supporting our football team - after all, there is no legitimate interpretation of Scripture which could possibly be seen to allow touching pigskin (or wearing polyester clothes, for that matter).

And the decay of societal morality (whatever that might be) is surely in huge danger from those feminist hippies who dare to sow more than one plant in their fields and eat lobster.

Rather than argue against his hateful, self-assured rhetoric, I will simply thank those more open minded for their ability to accept equality, placing Greathouse and those like him in the minority at this university.
