Wow... they can't even listen to Christian music like Michael W. Smith or W.O.W. worship. And they can bring guns?! Guess they can't wrestle the guns out the good ol' fashioned hunters' hands, but they can force them to listen to ol' timey Gospel music and be in bed by 11pm.

How many students do they have?

They do seem a bit demanding, but - on the above two point, good for them !! - the whole of society might benefit from following those dictates.

About 5,000.

Don't y'all know God gave us a right to own guns, but not a right to own video games?

One reason why they will never be accredited:

The same must be true for free speech -- God gave us a right to use it, but not to hear or watch it, according to BJU.

Good point, and wildly funny. :jiggy:

We can shoot stuff in real life, but not in those horrible, ungodly video games. Oh, and no "contemporary Christian music" is allowed on your hunting trips, and sign out when you leave.

This is "higher" education????

 

[Shadow Wolf]

Those rules are strict. Wonder why they would require you to live on campus?

So they can make sure you're not having any fun. :149:

This whole thing makes me wonder what calibre handgun Jesus Christ packed?

Desert Eagle, of course! A good ol' Israeli gun!

The way around accredidation is to create an accreditation authority. Not saying this was done, of course

So they can control sex and especially sex between the races JMO

God forbid the races have sex with each other! It's bad enough that they often have to use the same make of handguns, don't you think?

Looks like your dragon took a serious hit...

You may not possess or play computer and video games rated T, M, or A or having elements of blood and gore, sensual or demonic themes, or featuring suggestive dress, bad language, or rock music.

Well, that cancels out every single game I own, including my "nice" games that my mom prefers me playing (like The Sims 2!)

And all games these days hae rock music! Even Tetris!

I can't stand places like these. I would die in an enviroment like that...

So, a school tells its students that they are not allowed to play certain video games (what a tragedy:sarcastic, but not a constituional right) and that if they have firearms (a constitutional right) they have to be secure at all times, and subsequently some people on a forum turn this into "they must be racist". That's not very tolerant for people that love to talk about how intolerant the christian right is.

I strongly suspect that many of the students at BJU are intellectually dead upon graduation.
