When I was at State, I often times read shallow, insipid, and narrow-minded articles in The Technician that seemed printed only for the purpose of letting a staff writer rant. Many times they stirred up controversy. I can rattle off a handful of meaningless editorials that did a terrible job expressing the viewpoint of the student body and made the authors (and the school) seem bigoted and idiotic.

Because judging (Judge not, lest ye be judged) a group of women and calling them a "sorostitue" is not exactly 'Christian'.

The same could be said about the posts on this thread towards him. I didn't know that only non-Christians were allowed to have opinions - I mean judgments.

I am not trying to defend this guy. I don't know him, and I don't care to know him. It just seems that some on this thread are more upset by his politics and religious beliefs than his article. I am offended that he wrote something that was offensive about GLOs, of which I am a member. Would I be less offended if he were an atheist liberal?

I'm glad I'm not a Christian then!

That whole thread made me sad. Why do people have to be so hateful to greeks?

I will restate what I have said on different subjects- The things he claims are not limited to sorority girls and fraternity guys. THEY ARE NOT GREEK THINGS- THEY ARE COLLEGE THINGS!!!

What a charming fellow. I bet he has a lot of friends there.

You're missing the point entirely. Where is anyone critical of him BECAUSE he is a Christian? Who is upset by his politics or religious beliefs? Who would be less offended if he were an atheist?

Again, I shared the links and information I found out about him in response to an earlier post saying he was a hippy liberal. He is not a hippy liberal. Presenting evidence is not the same thing as making some sort of assertion that only non-Christians are allowed to have opinions. That doesn't even make sense.

So what's new about this? I've heard this same old argument countless times, usually from "individuals" dressed in all-black who somehow think they're the only ones in the world who are immune to being a dreaded conformist. Because that's what sorority members are, you know, conformist sheep. I always thought it fun to point out, though, that sure, we might all be wearing the same letter shirt, but these same people who were calling us conformists all dressed and looked alike, too.
