Nope. I'm a conservative Christian and I think that Bob Jones is pretty screwed up. They disallow inter-racial relationships, etc. Or at least, they did up til recently - it may not be official anymore. They've got issues.



Hey the new breed of republicans have to come from some where. Heck even Bush and others have spoke there.


Heh...my cousin goes there. He's pretty screwed up, though. He thought that Moody Bible Institute in Chicago was too liberal because they are allowed to wear blue jeans to class. :Q

The picture directly to the right.. oh my goodness she has highlighted hair.
You must have missed the large, red font above that guideline that stated, "Dress Code for Men".

Scroll down you fool.

That school gives me the creeps. I went to a Catholic primary and secondary school and we were offered a lot more freedom. And even so, I STILL found myself completely sheltered (but there are other reasons for that too). I'd be scared to know how my life would be if I actually had gone to that school.

Thank God the college I went to was wild. Helped me lossen up. Somewhat.

"Abercrombie & Fitch and its subsidiary Hollister have shown an unusual degree of antagonism to the name of Christ and an unusual display of wickedness in their promotions. In protest, we will not allow articles displaying their logos to be worn, carried, or displayed (even if covered or masked in some way)"

ROFL - that'll show A&F for putting a nude preteen on a horse. filthy pornographers!

i get the impression this place is like mega strict christianity? as in words from people like darwin, einstein etc are just not true.

my friends and i all believe science, but one of my friends sisters is a devout christian, and refuses to do anything that goes against the word of the bible, its fun watching him argue with her. she gets completely hammered everytime

it's a mix of both. For the ones that WANT to be pastors, it's perfect. But there are many students who are there against their choice, and they are the ones that become strippers/porno stars/felons

A guy I worked with over the summer went there. Apparently they dont allow locks on the dorm doors. Also he told me of a story of about 6 women having an orgy and getting expelled for it. He actualy seemed somewhat normal but I dont think I saw the real him. Whenever he described his college I got an upset stomach it was sad but it was fun when I got to explain my college (#10 party school in the US!!).

I'm a very hardcore devout christian/catholic.... but i'm also liberal. I believe there is a reason for everything written in the bible. However, I also beleive that many of the things written in the bible are stories to bring about a point. If taken literally, the bible is the more conttroversial book ever. If read with the right perspective in mind, it makes absolute sense from A-Z.

This is as always, my opinion. You are free to agree or disagree with it.

PS: It IS possible to believe in the bible, and in physics.

i'm a graduate of BYU - Provo. I went to a "Protestant" High School which was way more strict than BYU...

Bob Jones University is ridiculous!!!! Not even in the same ball park as BYU...

oh its not really that hard to understand - the same parents who make the decision to home school their kids out of fear want to continue the shelter and protect their fragile little minds through college, which as they know from snoop dog and mtv is just 4 years of wild, drunken debauchery. so you send them to someplace they will be babysat for 4 more years. some kids there like it b/c they like the safety of never having to question or think for themselves, some kids fall into a broad spectrum that spans from agreeing with the strictures to tolerating some parts b/c they agree with others, and some kids resent being forced there and bust their ass to party w/out getting caught.

shrug

but oh the hilarity of their website and its written policies. I wonder if the guy who scripted it LOL'd while he coded

New Age, jazz, rock, and country music is not permitted.
Contemporary Christian music is not permitted (e.g., Michael W. Smith, Stephen Curtis Chapman, WOW Worship, and so forth).

Kudos to Bob Jones for banning Comtemporary Christian music but never mentioning rap.

I'm guessing with their student body it's not much of an issue....

I'd have to agree, unfortunately, particularly in the context of this thread. That said, he may just have a chip on his shoulder in general, because he's clearly one angry dude.

Interesting how he takes pains to say he "discriminates," but isn't a racist. That sounds to me like a racist with a cowardly streak.

I had almost forgotten the "even if a person puts a gun to your head it's still your decision whether you make someone leave your place of business" part of the discussion.

Priceless.

As for the "cowardly" observation, I agree. It must tear him up to feel superior to others yet not have the guts to admit it.

Would you guys care to assume things about me while I'm around so I can correct your dumbasses, please? kthnxbye.

Where have I said things like "all blacks are fvcking stupid! they're all stupid apes and worthless subhumans! Mexicans are all stupid worthless dirty whores! Asians are cheapass unintelligible annoying smelly rats! Indians smell! Russians are stupid! Canadians suck balls! Whites are awesome and were put on Earth to dominate and rule everyone else!"

Well, except for the Canadians thing, where have I said (and meant, not joked) that whites are the supreme race blah blah blah?

I haven't. Hmm... probably because I don't think that way.

Now you can either go on forming your own opinions about me, but please don't base them on your dumbass assumptions, k? K.

Theres a difference for disliking someone for who they are, rather than what they are...

Who they are could be the simple fact that they are a leach on society...What they are is a different subject, possibly emcompassing their heritage.

Nik isn't a racist, he's a realist...he's calling it as he see's it. I doubt that any of you are little angels...and if you deny it, you're probably the worst of the lot.

"kthxbye"? I didn't know you were 12. That explains a lot.

Listen, you have admitted you "discriminate," and that you think racial stereotypes are a useful construct. You are unfathomably angry toward others, for reasons that I suspect are unclear even to you (though I have my theories). You seem to look down on a lot of people, particularly, in my observation, minorities who don't fit your concept of how minorities should act. The interpretation that makes the most sense to me is that you're a racist who's afraid to air that publicly.

I hope one day that with the help of professionals you can work out why you're such an angry prick and resolve it, for your own good and everyone else's.

Why would I be afraid of being racist? I'm not afraid of telling off asshats like you so why would I be afraid of saying that I'm racist? I wouldn't be. I got no problem telling people what I really think of them and doing so to their face. Being afraid to accept being racist goes against my character. I'm not. You're wasting your time by trying to justify it.
