Hate . . .
When did people forget how to talk to each other?For example, why can't adults deal with issues of homosexuality?
Last night there was an incident at Michigan Tech--some pretty hateful messages appeared on more than 30 different places around campus.

thanks.
Thank you, Nate. This is a powerful and compassionate video.
Thank you for doing this, thank you for feeling, thank you for your humanity.

great vlog... nice to see someone think about these issues more, instead of easily going with the flow... but luckily times are changing ever so slowly, as you have pointed out! well done!
kev!
that was the best vlog entry I have ever seen on the net. Thank you for using this medium to send a powerful message out.
Living in NYC makes me forget that this kind of madness still goes on...and on a college campus? It shocks me, but it shouldn't. I forget.
This was a great piece. Anna wrote an excellent letter and you created an excellent video.
bravo.
Good thoughts. Crazy that this is a college campus where people are supposed to learn some level of tolerance.
Let me preface by saying that what was written was most definitely a horrible thing.
But what everyone seems to forget is that this past week has been dedicated to sin. Everytime I saw one of those shirts that said 'gay? fine by me' I wanted to make my own shirt that said 'gay? God still loves you'.
Both sides of this issue need prayer the most right now.
Yes, it's ok that we have different beliefs.
I realize I shouldn't have assumed that since Nate and Rachel are Christians, most people responding would be as well. So I spoke out of context by saying everyone seems to forget.
Hey Nate,
I think it turned out really well. I'm glad that you put this together. I already feel like it has become "old news," from observing others reactions. It was odd walking through campus this morning and still being able to see some of the messages and a few others that weren't cleaned up.
Thanks again,
Anna
Nate:
"when did we forget how to talk to one another?" assumes that there was a time when we all did. I don't think that time ever existed, post-Eden; turn the question into an affirmation---"may we never forget to counteract hatred with love."
Take care all you good people--
Carpenters:
Thanks for this video

In apologizing to hand for assuming that the people commenting would believe homosexuality to be a sin you said "I realize I shouldn't have assumed that since Nate and Rachel are Christians, most people responding would be as well."
You have made another assumption here. Like hand I don't believe that homosexuality is a sin and I'm a Christian. That might not jive with your belief system but it's important to recognize that there are a wide variety of beliefs under the umbrella of Christianity.
Excellent vlog! Thanks for posting it.
Mindless hate scribbled in the dead of night melts in the light of truth.
Thank you so much for your beautiful and eloquent Vblog. I was moved to tears.
My partner and I are considering making a move up there, and knowing that angels like you exist, makes the decision much easier!
Thank you
