I appreciate that link.

It just shows how wrong-headed, and fanatical, some of these characters are.

Personally, I don't give a rip if a person is religious or not, so long as he's law-abiding and decent toward others. I'm not interested in forcing anyone to believe in anything- but I don't like the hostility manifesting itself to any kind of faith, and I do believe the goal is to silence "anyone who would dare tell me what I am doing is wrong."

Groups Say University Stadium Not Suitable for Promise Keepers - According to Dick Bennett, retired professor of English and president of the OMNI center, that very mission speaks to the groups intolerance of others. "They are extremely exclusive in favor of Christianity to the exclusion of all the other religions," Bennett said. "This is a very fundamentalist, intolerant religious organization. Even though they say they are open to all denominations, ethnic and cultural backgrounds, they really mean if those different peoples will convert to Christian," he said.

For NOW President Melanie Dietzel, the issue is the inappropriateness of a non-diverse group using the facilities of a diverse campus. "You’re inviting parents to bring their kids and you have this going on, on campus. What kind of message is that sending about their true dedication to diversity?" she asked. "My point is, our university is saying we have this diversity plan in place that we want to protect, encourage, support, be tolerant of all of this diversity. And yet, in our Razorback Stadium, we’re going to have speakers who have made these broad statements openly defying the philosophy of the university. I just think this flies in the face of what they’re promoting as the university’s real efforts at diversity."

In other words, "diversity" means NO CHRISTIANS ALLOWED.
