This weekend, MSU football head coach John L. Smith suspended senior cornerback Jaren Hayes for an indefinite period of time.

Brandi Walker did very little for us "homosexuals" with her "inclusive" Christian outreach ("Letter writer wrong with interpretation" SN 7/19). I admire her effort in arguing that homosexuality might not be a sin (and for the record, it isn't). I will also give her the benefit of the doubt that she personally doesn't believe homosexuality is a sin.

In my last column ("Scientology's wild claims no stranger than those of major religions," SN 6/28), I argued that Scientology doctrine, although undeniably nutty, isn't any more fanciful or unfounded than mainstream religious beliefs. One response published in The State News countered my point with the assertion that Christianity is different; it doesn't rely on faith alone but on "reasoned faith" ("Faith needs reason, not blind beliefs," SN 7/5). Let's examine that. Dictionary.com defines "reasoned" as meaning, "to determine or conclude by logical thinking." In contrast, "faith" is "belief that does not rest on logical proof or material evidence." Reasoned faith is a contradiction. Certainly, reason is absent with regard to the unsubstantiated belief in the virgin birth, the trinity and transubstantiation.

Editor's note: This is the second in a series of four profiles of the candidates in Lansing's mayoral race. Before becoming mayor of Lansing in 2003, Tony Benavides wore quite a few hats: a field migrant worker, student, grocery store employee, CEO of a nonprofit organization and Lansing City Council member. But when he first tried on his hat as mayor, it took time to get it to fit.
