Garth has a wonderful reflection about Heath over at Dark Horizons. Best piece I've read yet.

I posted this over at the Superman forum too. It's worth cross-posting to here.

Regarding Westboro Baptist Church zealots, I can think of several things to say, not the least of which is that they do not represent my understanding of Christianity. Not in the least. Something about "You who are without sin may cast the first stone." But I also think the words of David Wilcox are extremely poignant when I think of their guerrilla salvation:

"Let me apologize in advance
For the way my friend behaves
He'll pick a fight and take a holy stance
He's so proud that he's so saved

I hope you don't judge Jesus
By the things my friend will say
He holds a bible like a dagger
And he twists it just that way

He just loves conversation - like a cat loves a bird
I guess he's always been a good man - in the worst sense of the word"
