While I'm not all that surprised, this sickens me.

ETA: The "Root Sin" was that the rapist was a rapey scumbag, asshole!

And that's the root of all patriarchal religions.

Although, to be fair, a lot of universities that should know better aren't much different.

Oh yeah, in third world countries, where they then seal the deal by murdering the woman who was raped, since it was 'her fault'.

The root sin was sitting right in front of her. Patriarchical asses who convince men and women alike that being raped is the woman's fault, and thus grant free passes for male rapists who listen to the filth they peddle.

You can't go out in downtown Greenville on a BJU "student" screaming on the corner about how everyone walking by is going to hell.

One night in the 90's I was yelled at for my"promiscuous" dress and told if I "got pregnant with a mongrel chill from my fornication I better not murder it" or something close.

I made sure I sinned extra that night.

I snicker every time I hear someone call it that.

and her Dad told her the same thing. Of course, the daughter quoted scripture against the guy and he ultimately stopped, which was then used by all as evidence that Jesus can stop all sin.

BTK aka Dennis Rader was a deacon at a local Lutheran church. He is the local serial killer, killed them then masturbated on their body. He even went as far as taking pictures of them on the church grounds at night. I started thinking about that a few days ago when I drove past the Lutheran church he went to. They were in total shock. I was at the local grocery store the next morning after they caught him, you could have heard a pin drop-they didn't see it coming. Yes perverts hide out at church, yes they do.

These people need to be brought up to speed on morality or they'll just keep passing this crap off to the next
generation.

Hell, we got them to stop burning woman alive at the stake, so there's hope…

resort. At breakfast, we sat next to a table of very clean-cut kids. They told their server that they were from Bob Jones University, working there for the summer, and said a blessing when they were served. They then proceeded to make the most ignorant and racist remarks I'd ever heard about people passing on the boardwalk outside. We were so stunned that we were speechless. I've never forgotten that experience to this day, even knowing the fault was with the individuals, rather than the school.

It wasn't just the kids. "You have to be carefully taught" and all that. Or, to use the Fundamentalist version "Teach a child in the way that he should go and he will not depart from it."

Patrick Henry College officials respond, refute ‘New Republic’ story

Patrick Henry College officials respond, refute ‘New Republic’ story

Thursday, Feb. 20, 2014 by Trevor Baratko

Officials at Patrick Henry College, the small, deeply-religious Christian school in Purcellville, responded to and repudiated Wednesday a longform report in the New Republic that accused the Patrick Henry administration of “victim-blaming” females in the cases of rape.

The New Republic story, entitled “Rape at God's Harvard” and published online Monday, highlights accounts from several female former students who reported assaults during their time at the school.

“ … other female students who say they reported sexual assault or harassment to the administration also left feeling that school officials blamed them instead of holding the accused male students accountable," the story, written by Kiera Feldman, notes. "The administration, they say, seemed much more concerned with protecting Patrick Henry’s pristine public image.”

In the school's response, sent to students, PHC officials stated: “Because you have invested your hearts, minds, and resources in this College, you should know that Patrick Henry College is absolutely committed to the protection and care of our students, male and female equally. When and if issues arise, we take each allegation seriously and try to conduct appropriate investigations with a spirit of emotional support while seeking truth. We may not perfectly achieve this objective every time, but this is our aim; this is our heart. The thesis of the article, that women are somehow treated less favorably than men, especially in difficult situations involving physical interactions between a male and female student, is categorically false.”

Are they saying they protect rapists and rape victims equally? Seems like you might want a little inequality when it comes to the assaulter and the assaulted.

Or are they saying male rape victims get equal treatment to female rape victims? That's really hard to believe.

That a woman should cleave to a man, that women are underlings to males. That's why it is soooo damned wrong. Christians? MY ASS.

One time we went to a theme park and on the way back I was asking people why they had to have equal numbers of men and women in all cars. They said it was "for protection". And I'm like "protection from what?". To which they responded "you know what.". Seriously it was an hour and a half car ride. If you can't control your impulses for that long seek professional help.

But not everyone accused is guilty. That's why we have trials.

(I'd say they deserve execution, but too many innocent people have been convicted of various crimes.)

The Root Sin was going to Bob Jones University to begin with.

And they can walk

Gotta love Religion

someone posted back that I needed to pray to ask to be forgiven...not forgiving.

I read it a couple times to make sure I got the word meanings correct.

Just WOW what goes through these people's heads.


Tikki

...allow man -made religions to interfere with God's plan for yourself. I just shrug 'em off. there's no talking to a rabid religious nutcase.

My fundamentalist parents tried to force me to go there and refused to pay for any college but this one. I left home and moved to CA which had a great educational system pre-Raygun and went to school for very little money there. There's no way on earth I'd ever darken their doorsteps or let my folks pay them one penny in my name - hell NO!

Evil, evil place, doing the devil's, not God's work.

Stretch of the imagination--add any idioms I can't think of right now even begin to make sense?

Rapists are "doing god's work" by punishing sin.

They're giving a green light to any sexual predator.

black. You should never walk down the street while being black or female, because then, you're just asking for what ever is bad to happen to you.

Therefore, they don't have government oversight (like Title IX). Ring of Fire also had an article on the shameful treatment of women who had experienced sexual assault at these campuses.
