Letters

The day I finally took the exam I was so proud of my hard-earned knowledge that I burst from the test room shouting, "Free at last! Lord, free at last! Thank God I'm free at last!"

I am proud of my struggle, but I feel great chagrin over the people who beat the system and earn three or four times as much money as I. The scuttlebutt I hear from friends who work for the school district downtown is that school board meetings have become a farce, with poorly educated people destroying the English language.

Sign me anonymous, as I fear repercussions.

God Hates Homos -- Just Ask Him
I would like to respond to Mr. Frank Troha's October 16 letter. Mr. Troha, let me first suggest that you go back and re-read my letter of August 28. You have not only a reading disability but a lively imagination and a knack for assuming what other people think or do.

I do not blame everything on God's will. I believe that God will hold us accountable for our actions or inactions in this life. We alone are responsible for our behavior and conduct -- or lack of it.

Again, I repeat: Two wrongs, five wrongs, or a hundred wrongs do not make a right. Irresponsible behavior will always be irresponsible behavior, and only you will be held accountable for your actions.

Since you ask "which Bible," you really need to take one and find a quiet spot and do some reading on the subject. While you are at it, please pray to God that he helps you understand that you alone are responsible for your behavior, no one else.

Mr. Troha, stop blaming everyone else, stop pointing fingers all around you, and most of all stop playing victim and pleading for special protection and special rights. Christians have never wanted to impose their beliefs on anyone, but we will also not stand idly by and allow someone to impose their beliefs on us, especially by government decree.

I pray to God to give me faith and strength to deal with individuals like you. The only problem I have with the homosexual lifestyle (besides its being irresponsible and a sin against humanity) is when homosexuals insist on imposing that lifestyle on me and my family. That will never happen.
