Gay Blade

Editors --

"The Gay Blade," (a damning and vicious comic book tract on homosexuality recently passed around campus) is a perfect example of insecure and unhappy people using the Bible as an excuse to vent their sick hate and prejudice on other human beings.

To take literally the words of "the good book" presents a horrifying prospect. For example, the psalmist urges us to "dash the children of our enemies to pieces on the rocks. . ." To follow the Bible's advice on the castigation of homosexuals i no less outrageous.

I find it a sad irony that those disciples of a "god of love" are contributing to the spread of hate and intolerance in this manner.
