A christian college whacking



there's a new guy at my work, and i've been assigned to write his bio for our website. for this, i've done a little research, including reading nearly his entire blog (fortunately, not as extensive as this one).

he has this in his links.

i can't stop thinking about it.

it's a christian school, of which i've never really looked into so deeply...of which i find deeply offensive.

weapons are allowed in the dorms, but not movies on computer laptops. and no one can watch a movie, even off-campus that is above a "G" rating. but they can have guns. they cannot listen to any music, not even christian rock music. they cannot have posters of supermodels or rock stars on the walls. guns are welcome though. and other weapons.

so i guess the point of this school, and others like it, is to raise ignorant, fearful people who are encouraged to brandish deathly weapons.

sounds like a terrorist training camp to me.

guy would say, "i'm not surprised."

i would say, "i guess i'm easily surprised."

BJU: WHACKED.

I'm not surprised by this list of rules and regulations. I'm from Utah, originally and thus know all about BYU's living requirements for their attending students. Religious-based higher educations seems to be all about the rules of "decency" and "morality" not trusting to their adherents to follow correctly.

Oh, and DANCING is prohibited as well.

But you can bring your pistol.

Dancing always struck me as a strange thing to prohibit. I mean I get the ultra morality of the thing, since dancing is very much an emotional display, and who can deny the sexual element, but still, Miriam danced (Exodus 15), Jephthah's dutiful daughter danced (Judges 11), the Israelites were forever dancing for victories (1 Samuel 18, 21, 29), King David danced (2 Samuel 6), and there's even dancing in Matthew and Luke.

I don't seem to recall a single person ever being struck down for dancing. Now, Sin of Onan is a totally different case!
