Organ transplants needed?

The first young man I saw wearing one of those shirts was passing me in the hallway of the Engineering building and the impact of the "slogan" hit me like a slap in the face.

I turned around as he passed me to see if something was written on the back of the shirt that might better explain the front. I saw that the back referenced a campus fraternity.

I was not only offended, but somewhat shaken by what I had just seen -- a campus organization sponsoring such a hateful and degrading spectacle.

Unfortunately, fraternities tend to have a bad reputation among society in general, and this incident only exacerbates that view.

Too bad these young men don't seem to be able to use the organ between their ears as well or as frequently as they (wish to) use the one between their legs.

God save us from the feminist majority

I am referring to an editorial written by Jennifer Higgens of group, The Feminist Majority (Sept. 23) where she makes it clear that her sin is almost exactly the same as the young men of a fraternity whom she is judging; self-arrogant pride.

Truly if this woman had any wisdom at all, she'd deflate her own ego somewhat to see that she undoubly does things which are just stupid as the fraternity men who are making fools out themselves.

Even I must admit that I have said and done foolish things out of pride because all human of us beings are prone to this sin. In fact, if Higgens is not living a pure, Godly lifestyle in which she serves as living example and testimony to those men, it would be best she kept her mouth shut.

Even if she is a Christian living a wholesome life, she better suggest that those men to look to the Bible for what God and his son Jesus have to say since they judge the sinner, not her.

For Jesus even said, "How can you say to your brother, 'Let me take the speck out of your eye, ' when all the time there is a plank in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother's eye."

I'd like to mention though if you are Christian woman, make sure all your male friends are aware of the Promise Keepers event at Arco Arena this weekend, October 9 and 10.

Even your friend cannot get a seat, he can contact any one of the many participating churches in this area about membership in Promise Keepers.

I think the best thing about this organization is that it not just about teaching men about how to build a relationship with God, but also how to improve their own relationships with the women in their lives.
