Last year, MU-SASHA did, what is in my view, a very very bad thing. They dressed as Jesus in Speaker's circle and mockingly proclaimed His second coming. Later I found out it was part of an event called "Annual Blasphemy Day." I refuse to look it up further for fear of throwing my computer out a window. To relieve some anger, I'm going to write a letter to them, that I will not send, because it won't do any good.
Dear MU-SASHA,
REALLY. You committed what is seen as the biggest sin in Christian culture for what can only be described as shits and giggles. REALLY?!! That's not a hilarious practical joke. That's not a satire of religion, like the flying spaghetti monster than I oh-so-begrudgingly tolerate. That's just being an asshole. I thought your group was supposed to be, about other things, having a society about tolerance. I don't see this as tolerance. I see it as hate speech. I see it as the equivalent of me going into the Jewish fraternity eating a pulled-pork sandwich saying: "LOOK AT ME!!! SHAME YOU GUYS CAN'T DO THIS!!!" Or better yet, going up to a Muslim and saying "LOOK AT ME!!! I'M MUHAMMAD!!!" (Speaking of which, one can only wonder how much trouble you would be in if you did that.)
It's not a good letter, it's one big, fat paragraph of anger, but this is about the best I can write right now.
