GRABBINGSAND

If I ever win the lottery, I know where I’m gonna enroll.

I’d love to be able to dance drunkenly to “Roadhouse” while shooting craps, cursing like a sailor, and being generally immoral, and just toss money at the morons.

On the other hand, if I won /enough/, I’d just buy the place and turn it into a parking lot.

A /Satanic/ parking lot.

With inverse pentagrams in all the little parking spaces.

I had friends from high school attend Liberty. One was on an athletic scholarship… I don’t know how he survived.

Mentioning this without adding a line about us being added to the Bob Jones University mailing list? They mix their ink with holy water. I couldn’t even touch the catalogs without burning my hands.

I’m surprised that I’m the first to comment about the fantastic irony of a place called “Liberty” making dancing a crime…

This is but one small, pathetic example of the terrifying things that happen when people are unshakably certain that God is wholly devoted to their own personal crusades.

As a graduate of Landmark Christan Academy in South Fulton, my entire high school experience was much like this. Several Classmates went on to Liberty University, mostly on Football Scholarships. What I learned is this: My parents paid money for my tuition so that I would learn how to be completly intolerant of those around me. Intolerant to the point so that I would, upon my graduation, not know how to survive in society with out passing some moral judgement on every single person I came in contact with. Nice Mom & Dad. Thanks. Not too sure if that particulary goes along with the whole “grace theory” of the typical Judeo-Christian fundamental belief in Christ. It’s so nice to know that this kind of intolerance is taught to college students; breeding more and more individuals that belive they are capapble and responsible for passing God’s moral judgment on us all. I’m leaving that judgement up to God, and while I’m waiting…I think I might have a very strong vodka and smoke.

my favorite is the pictures of what is appropriate and inapporpriate dress for women, there is a whole gallery of pictures! there is also mention of inappropriate hair styles but I couldn’t find pictures of those, but seeing that anything that pertains to “counterculture” is prohibited I can’t…actually come to think of it, I don’t know what to infer about that.

I know several of you went to Berry, which prohibits all sexual activity and drinking on campus (even if students are of legal age). I also seem to recall many other petty little rules relating to “morality,” and you get demerits if you break them (as if you were a child). How is this so very different? Isn’t it just a matter of degree?

Berry never instituted a cash penalty for violations of the Viking Code. Furthermore, the rules at Liberty are far more stringent than anything at Berry College. Berry has dances. We could see an R-rated film. We could be at Schroeder’s on a Thursday night (where beer was consumed as well as really good pita sandwiches). There is no comparison between Falwell’s pet college and Martha’s pet college.

I have a young friend who attends Liberty and he is so black & white about issues, has
definite opinions about “unevenly yoked”, males being the head of household and caretaker. Says the girls at Liberty want to homeschool their children and are not wanting to have careers outside the home. Is always commenting on what he can’t listen to or watch. It always boils down to “it’s in “God’s hands or his will. Is this a true picture of Liberty?
