as some of you may recall, matthew sheppard was a boy who was killed a few years ago, as far as i recall the court's concluded that it was a hate crime because he was gay.
some people out there feel that what happened to him was right. to those people, or anyone who is undecided, please read this fantastic letter.
the reason the case is back in the news is because a group of ppl want to erect a monument to him, stating that on Oct 28, 1998, he entered hell. there was a quote on TV - this lady saying that it's not about human hate, but G-d's hate. i'm not going to bother arguing the theology going into the idea that G-d could or would hate his creations, but i have to question why people feel the need to do things like this. what exactly are their priorities? don't they think G-d is powerful to express whatever hate He may feel without their putting up a monument honoring murder, illegal acts, and causing emotional pain to a family?
