I am writing this in response to last week's commentary by Don Farley II. Huh? Did this article have a point? It started out as a protest against homosexuals and ended up in some babble about Jesus being almost as perfect as Mr. Farley.
I'm not purposely trying to read anything into this, but it looks like Mr. Farley thinks that anything not Christian is not diverse, but is instead sinful. What is your definition of on-campus diversity, Mr. Farley? You don't seem to have written anything about that in your letter. In fact, the only substance in your article is a big promotion for bigotry under the guise of "holy and perfect" behavior.
I have some additional questions for you. Were you homosexually abused as a child? Did roving bands of uncircumcised Scythian barbarians kill your family? Do you have a certificate in God's handwriting saying that your interpretation of religion is the correct one? I'm not homosexual and I'm not trying to offend anyone else, but when a person's mind is focused on one thing and remains as closed as Mr. Farley's does, that person is usually called psychotic and locked away.
Fortunately for Mr. Farley, he did not focus on rape or ritual murder, etc., but instead focused on being morally superior to everyone else, especially homosexuals and Jews. In any event, I hope Mr. Farley's faith makes his life easier. I guess I will have to deal with the challenge of reality by myself. Have fun in Waco or wherever you end up, Mr. Farley.
