The Westboro Baptist Church is coming to Blacksburg today, a week before the 3-year anniversary of the shooting, to tell us we deserved it. There's a student-organized rally going on on campus (the WBC will be at three different places downtown, but the university is not advocating that students actually go there), and I'm terrified of what it might turn into. Because I'm not really interested in going to an anti-WBC angerfest. If we are angry, and we hate them, what does that accomplish? when does hatred ever accomplish anything? I want today to be an outpouring of strength, a time to remind ourselves how much we all love each other, how much we love the Hokie Nation, how WE WILL PREVAIL. I would just always rather be pro-something than anti-anything.
I would rather be pro-love than anti-hate.
I would rather be pro-my loving loving God than anti-their hateful veangeful God.
But I am afraid that not everyone is on the same page with that.
And I just really hope nothing bad happens today.
