The following letter was written in the Letters to the Editor section of Friday's Arkansas Traveler, the school newspaper. It was regarding this comic strip. To me, it's a shining example of religious moronity. I really want to respond, but I don't think I will.

Cartoon offensive, not humorous

I am writing in regards to the comic strip "Life In Hell" that is being run in The Traveler. As a Christian and a UA associate, I find this comic very inappropriate for a campus newspaper and offensive to those who are trying to make a difference in someone else's daily walk with God. Not to mention it's not even funny. To mock the possibility of someone spending their life in hell is neither humorous nor does it take the matter of Salvation and living a Godly life seriously. Students today are faced with far too many issues and don't need comedy about hell to ease their worries.
These are dangerous times in the world today, and the fact is God should not be overlooked in any aspect in life, especially when our own government and leaders of this country are so quick to respond to a tragedy with God Bless America. I'm sure the support staff of The Traveler can find something to replace this comic strip with and continue to produce a paper at a level of dignity for all ethnical groups to enjoy. I hope my response to the cartoon is taken to heart and considered a great matter of concern.
