Nancy Haynes, could anyone have stooped any lower?
Seriously, even the advertising didn’t mean the roommate had to be Christian. Someone who wasn’t Christian could have still done it. I’m sorry but maybe this Nancy Haynes wants there to be no private universities either, just state-run universities and the like.
Sounds like that ol' pesky 1'st amendment thingy might kick in here.
Who goes suing people for posting on a church bulletin board?
A liberal or a secular theocrat does.
Ok, Nancy. How about this? "No former government employees need apply."
Because I think the ranks of paycheck pullers is going to shrink soon.

You mean I have no say in whom I live with now?
Why not?
Don't people have the right to decide who they want to live with?
It’s incredible how hypocritical some politically-correct individuals are. They claim they should have privacy, when they are the only people in their own minds who deserve that privacy. They claim that religion should not have a place in the public square, and then they would take offense if they could peep in on the fact that someone in a Church, not in the general public square, but a house of worship, or perhaps even in the most reclusive recesses of their own home, said it, they would consider it offensive, when they were the ones taking offense. They are also hypocritical because for some of them, Muslims deserve a special privilege to pray when Christians, to whom prayer to our “Father, who art in heaven” is perhaps just as much important to us. Don’t take my words as truth, but I often almost visualize the Pharisees, Scribes, and the Sadduccees of the time of Jesus Christ, when I hear the words of such people as this crazy woman in Michigan.
My words to her, being as decent of a Christian as I can be, are this:
“You wanted her ad outside of the general public view, or not at the University itself, now be satisfied with it and quit your whining”.
Not to say that angrier expletives were not on my mind, but that’s what is decent and fit to post on FreeRepublic.
But it’s worth discussion. Who of us wouldn’t want to have a roommate who we could trust to have moral standards somewhat close to our own? It sounds as if that’s what this student was trying to find.
People in Michigan are nuts.
“Who goes suing people for posting on a church bulletin board?”
Liberals, who else?
Don’t people have the right to decide who they want to live with?
Of course they do, it’s just that this crazy woman in Michigan was being hypercritical. This student did not post her ad in the University, she posted it in the Church. In my church, we have bulletin boards where similar things happen a great deal of the time. I personally was and still am a man of studying. Is it offensive that I get to know who on Earth my roommates are? Of course not. It’s practical and reasonable. As a committed student, the last thing I need is a roommate who plays video games all night, blatantly or indiscretely has to mess with his girlfriend in your face, smokes pot, etc. In fact, I even tried getting to know other people who wanted to study like I did, not to say that finding a Christian roommate entails this, but it sounds like this young woman was probably looking for that. This woman named Nancy who whines about this has no life, and needs to shut up for once. I doubt there was any discriminatory intent for that woman who set up the add, and this Nancy who goes to church is obviously forgetting the advice of Jesus to “judge not”.
My story ends with me leaving dormitory life and living in an off-campus apartment. It was way better there, and I did something quite similar in getting to meet my roommate at my own church congregation.
At the risk of being un-Christian, Nancy can go F herself. Nothing is going to change until we, the people stand up to the government bullies and say “I REFUSE!”

And forget any matchmaker ads where anybody designates what kind of person they are looking for. If they’re looking for a man, that discriminates against women. If they’re looking for somebody athletic, that discriminates against non-athletes. If they’re looking for somebody single, that discriminates against married folks. If they’re looking for somebody who likes pina coladas and getting caught in the rain, that discriminates against everybody else.
Etc.
Clearly this is a racist, discriminating, bigoted world until we’re all one big orgy.
Right, Nancy Haynes?
Unbelievable. When we start removing intrusive government regs, the one supporting this claim should be the first to go.
Come to think of it, isn’t it a discriminatory hiring practice if an employer wants somebody who is honest, since that discriminates against dishonest people? If they want somebody with a degree, doesn’t that discriminate against people without degrees?
Etc.
The only way we will have a world with no discrimination is if nothing we do or are makes any difference, since we will all have exactly the same outcomes no matter what we do or are. In a totally non-discriminatory world, the people who work will have the same as the people who don’t, the people who kill will have the same living circumstances as those who don’t, etc. Choices won’t matter; nothing will matter.
That is the liberal’s dream and conservatives’ nightmare. But I think if people really thought about it, they wouldn’t like it if their choices made no difference. They could just as well be barbie dolls in such a case.
No use reasoning with this kind - you have to make them look like the idiots they are.
It’d be a full time job getting rid of the crap in the government
Executive Director Nancy Haynes should be charged with a hate crime. She is propagating her hate towards Christians under color of law!
It’s time to start striking back, and striking back forcefully, at the Anti-Christian bigots who are trying to trample the freedoms of all Americans for their own hate filled goals. JMHO
