Let's all go to Bob Jones University!

Nobojo - A look inside the wacky world of fundamentalist Bob Jones University
http://www.nobojo.org/

Factoid: Last month (Nov. 2006), BoJo received accreditation -- 79 years after its inception. The "accrediting" agency has a history of granting recognition to diploma mills. In 1983, Bob Jones III wrote an article -- (and please set your hypocrisy shields on maximum deflection) -- in which he stated that ANY accreditation was against God and the Bible.

Figures they can't get "real" accredation.

The one "true" god hates

The one "true" god hates accrediation.

Religion is regarded by the common people as true, by the wise as false, and by the rulers as useful. - Seneca

Let's all go to Bob Jones University!

I recently went to a debate tournament there. One person's judge hadn't left campus in 20 years.

If I went there, I'd end up killing at least one fundamentalist. I have a record of this type of behavior towards fundamentalists. Not murder, but a few steps down the ladder - 2nd Degree Assault.

At least I'm not a coward, and the fundamentalist will think twice before he insults another atheist.

My ex-gf's grandparents both

My ex-gf's grandparents both went to BJU. It was kind of interesting watching how just two "educations" fucked up three generations of descendants.

When I say that a BJ education is so conservative that 9 out of 10 southern baptists would have a problem with it, I don't think I'm exaggerating.

Atheism isn't a lot like religion at all. Unless by "religion" you mean "not religion". --Ciarin

I always get tickled when I

I always get tickled when I see something about Bob Jones University because "Bob Jones Shoes" is a huge retailer of affordable footwear. They have TV and newspaper ads all over the place, plus a darling little jingle.
