The undertone is here that R.A.s are expected to deal with students who are sexually active or considering sex, and may be charged with making condoms available. The college is probably worried that an R.A. who makes himself a Christian leader within the dorm would not be trusted by students who are testing their limits (and in some cases, the law) with sex and alcohol. The point of R.A.s is that they're the "cool" front line of defense for an administrator expected to keep these students from killing themselves by doing something stupid.
And to anticipate the response I'll get to that, loads of freshmen have sex and drink beer their freshman year without dying as a result, so I don't think that taking away an R.A. they're comfortable talking to would actually save lives.
So basically we should have a religious litmus test that bars believing Christians from being R.A.s because some people may think that they might morally disagree with their actions? This is precisely the type of anti-religious bigotry and climate of hatred that the liberals have created in this country. It is sick and disgusting that one cannot be an "out and proud" Christian believer in this country. I think it is you and the narrow minded and intolerant students who have a problem with Christians who are the problem here! We used to be a relatively tolerant society. Now, it's anything goes, as long as one is not a traditional Christian believer. Absolutely disgusting.
