Today I want to write about something that has bothered me for the better part of a decade. I’ve carved out no fewer than a dozen drafts of this post, all strangely unalike, all ultimately failing to accomplish the job I’ve set out to do. Truth is, I’ve been trying to write it off and on for more than a year now, and the right words have been seemingly impossible to come by.
In the end, and in order to post it, I guess I had to care more about the message than I do about potential backlash. I’m not being facetious when I say that I hope I can get this message across without offending… well… everybody.
What I really hope is that this post will spark and encourage poignant and worthwhile discussion that will lead to some poignant and worthwhile changes in the lives of at least a few people who are hurting.
That being said, I believe some strong words need to be said today.
“God hates fags.” We’ve all seen the signs being waved high in the air by members of the Westboro Baptist church. On TV. In real life. It’s hard not to take notice.
Over the years, I’ve watched seemingly never-ending disgustingness and hatred spill across the media airwaves from those who belong to the organization. For those who don’t know much about that “church,” they have made a seedy name for themselves by doing drastic things like picketing beneath atrocious signs and hosting flagrant anti-gay protests at military funerals.

“So how is this “soul field” any different than the New Age concept of auras? “
The soul filed is to an aura what sunlight is to moonlight. If you understand that, you got it!
It is the soul field that causes the zygote to divide and the same field when it detaches from the physical body, life stops. This is the spirit that provides the life for the human from conception to death.
There is a reason why Jesus said, let those with ears hear, and don’t give your pearls to the swine...
Your assumptions are wrong... I’ve already presented much of this to groups on several occasions in the Divinity School and also in the Medical School Auditorium.
What divinity school? Is there some reason why you can't give its specific name?
