TO THE EDITOR:
It is quite hypocritical the way religious conservatives choose what they feel should be taken literally in the Bible. If we were to take the Bible literally, then Psalm 100 would be anti-women too.
You cannot pick and choose what parts of the Bible to take literally. If you choose to be a fundamentalist and take it literally, then you must adhere to all of it.
The Bible was written thousands of years ago in a society that was based on discrimination and gender bias. In this day and age, no one believes these things about women, so why do we feel the parts about gays are any more important?
With your argument that any student organization can hide behind their own bylaws and freedom of speech, white supremacist hate groups could exclude people of color.
Is that what we want on our campus, those who choose to discriminate against others? I feel that our University has obligations. One of these obligations is no discrimination based on race, gender or sexual preference.
