I think we all understand, Rev.

[Zionist Conspirator]

EDINBURGH University is set to ban Bibles from its student halls of residence amid concern that the Holy Book is “discriminatory” and makes students of other faiths feel unwelcome.

Perhaps they should replace them with copies of On the Origin of Species. "Students of other faiths" never seem to have a problem with it.

[goodnesswins]

"Ruth Cameron, president of the Edinburgh University Students’ Association, said yesterday that it was important that students from different cultures were made to feel welcome."

OOOOKKKAAAAYYYYY.....Muslim incoming....

[The Ghost of FReepers Past]

This is not about attacking Christianity. It is about respecting diversity.”

Uh huh. Sure.

[jackson29]

the fools

it was that heritage which gave them their prominence.

the founding fathers excelled through garnering their strength and focus from that background. the university itself was a product of that backbone

[popdonnelly]

Have they tried burning them?

[69ConvertibleFirebird]

pursue a policy of “evenly supporting all faiths”

Yes, be fair by banning all material/references/comments that show Christianity in a positive light. These people (Satan worshipers?) are truly disgusting.

Even here, in ultra-liberal Montgomery County, MD similar things are happening. Government schools are out today (Friday) specifically for a Jewish holiday (no problem). Of course we no longer have a Christmas holiday... we have a Winter Break. All references to Christ MUST GO.

Must move to Red State soon. Stop paying taxes to Socialists/Satan worshipers.

I have a problem with 'ban Bibles.' So, does that mean a student bringing their own Bibles is banned from doing so?

[Right Wing Assault]

In other news, the university has decided to pass out korans to all students. /sarc

[PetroniusMaximus]

***The Reverend John Lowry, of Niddrie Parish Church in Edinburgh, said: “It is very disappointing from our point of view. But I can understand why people have chosen to do this.”***

"Reverends" like this are a big part of the reason why this cultural hijacking has been able to get as far as it has.

What on earth is so offensive about a Bible? Were they forcing students to read them at gunpoint? I am a Christian, but if I saw a Koran on the table, I would pick it up and read it out of curiosity. I would never even think about being offended by it! I've never understood why people think it is offensive to hear or see different beliefs ... unless their own faith is so weak that they are afraid they will be converted!

I'm impressed by the University's capacity for self-loathing. That's assuming there are any Christians there.

[mtbopfuyn]

Bet they won't ban the Koran.

[mlc9852]

It's all about respecting diversity - yeah, right.

[The Iguana]

That spinning sound you hear is John Knox rolling over in his grave.

Along with a few million other dead Scotsmen of the last 12 centuries.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

The Quran advocates killing students/people of other faiths.

I guess they can't feel unwelcome when they're dead.

[Skooz]

If I were to attend a university in a predominately Muslim country, and I found a Koran in my dorm room, the thought of being "offended" would never cross my mind.

"Why do the heathen rage and shake their fists at the Almighty..."

[BenLurkin]

Reminds me of these lines from "The Stockpile Song"that went something like this:


"They can take the church away

"But they can't stop us when we pray.

"They refuse to understand

"We are a Jesus loving band

"So spread the word across the land

"And stockpile Bibles while you can."

[Mogollon]

“We simply don’t want to be seen promoting one religion over another. This is not about attacking Christianity. It is about respecting diversity.”

Seems I remember a prediction about the rise of the lukewarm 'Laodicean' church during the latter days in that Holy Book they're banning.
