Shorter is a private college and they can legally make these decisions and rules. There is nothing
wrong with being morally respectable. Love it or
leave it alone. Personally,I love Shorter College.
My GPA is 3.90 and climbing. Thank you, Shorter.

Its a big witch hunt
.
Bible clutching 'christians' sitting around sexing about other people's love lives all the time are the 'real' perverts
.
Its ironic the bible they're clutching was made possible by gay people 400 years ago

There are very few things that p me off more that the bible thumping thou will nots If you are a Christian than the only law is love not condemnation.
Sex is a display of love GOD doesn't care what we do as long as we love each other, anything consensual is fine
READ THE BIBLE its a fantastic book that sets you free
Adam and Eve hid from the Lord out of shame .... That is the only real sin

Homosexual was coined as a clinical term in 1895; just 116 years ago; so it can't possibly appear in a 3000 year-old history book

We have to be careful which 'bible' we read; the baptists changed it in 1952 and added 'homosexuals' to it for the first time in history
.
++++++++++
1 Corinthians 6:9> Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: neither the immoral, nor idolators, nor adulterers, nor homosexuals,

1 Corinthians 6:10> nor thieves, nor the greedy, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor robbers will inherit the kingdom of God.

The original Holy Bible:
++++++++++
1 Corinthians 6:9> Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind,
.
1 Corinthians 6:10> Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.

So the school still accepts adultery, greed, and hate as core values.

The baptists had no business changing the Bible in the first place
.
GOD will get'em for changing HIS word (apparently HE already begun; witness the current brouhaha at Shorter University)
.
In January of this year, medical science revealed the discovery that GOD gave gay people a different brain structure and spinal cord design from straight people; differences visible to the naked eye on autopsy
.
Investigation into these differences reveal:
.
++++++++++
"Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity are conferred during the first 12 weeks of gestation, and they are irreversible"
++++++++++
.
If you're at a computer that plays webcasts; check it out (warning: explicit medical photos/runtime 54 min) From the American Medical Association (AMA) February 19, 2011:
http://media01.commpartners.com/AMA/sexual_id...
.
So the Baptists will have to go back to following GOD's word; and give up gay-bashing; if they expect to stay in the church biz with GOD's blessing

"Shorter is a private college and they can legally make these decisions and rules."

if ya don't like the way shorter is being run, build yer own private queer school, don't accept government funding, and you can run it any way you see fit.

and another thing, if baptists are such terrible folks why would any self respecting faggot want to work there to begin with.

I wouldn't say it exactly that way, but I agree. If you don't play golf, why go to the golf course? Meaning if you don't want to be a part of what a place stands for, promotes, and is built for and about...why go there. If you don't play golf, don't go to the golf course and play and enjoy their labor to keep the course nice. If you don't want, believe, or want to be exposed to Christian values and teachings, maybe you shouldn't go to a place that includes and supports those values. That doesn't mean the place or people are anti-whatever you don't like. They are simply FOR what they feel God requires for them and choose to support that way of life and provide a place for those who feel the same. What gets me is, if you are FOR Christian values, some would accuse you of being anti-this or that. I see it as just being pro-what ever one chooses to follow and base their life on. I am not anti-gay. I just don't do it or want to have it forced into my lifestyle. Enjoy your golf game n & i jackson. They don't come there to play football, do they? Just golf. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving n & i jackson. Hope you have turkey and dressing and all the trimmings and your favorite desserts cooked exactly as you like them and eaten with the folks you love and love you. You are an interesting and fair fellow poster. May God richly bless you and keep you in His loving care.

It's not hate. It is rules that Shorter expects their
faculty to abide by. Is there something wrong with
expecting your teachers to act decent in public?
Oh, and by the way, Shorter just received a 7.2 Million
dollar grant from the Baptist Association.
Go, Hawks!

Shorter College operates as a tax-free/non-profit organization
http://www.taxexemptworld.com/organization.as...
.
This means the school's taxes are paid by the nation's taxpayers; so the school must operate according to Federal Law or lose public tax support

Jesus couldn't teach there if they enforced their rules on him, showing what I've always suspected.......even Jesus isn't good enough for Georgia Baptists.

Religion has ever filled the mind of man with darkness, and kept him in ignorance of his real duties and true interests. It is only by dispelling the clouds and phantoms of Religion, that we shall discover Truth, Reason, and Morality. Religion diverts us from the causes of evils, and from the remedies which nature prescribes; far from curing, it only aggravates, multiplies, and perpetuates them. - Baron d'Holbach

They call themselves a "Christian University", but oddly enough, their new "statement of faith" would prohibit Jesus himself from teaching there. He drank wine in public and associated with people of questionable character, both of which are against the rules of his alleged followers running the college.

Daily Horoscope for June 4

Aries

Take care today Aries, because the emotional landscape in your neighborhood will be full of pitfalls during the coming fortnight, as it has been since the Solar Eclipse on May 20. The more convinced you are that you're right, the harder it will be to navigate your way around forthcoming events. If you feel resentful of someone, perhaps a neighbor or sibling, you need to get your feelings out in the open, rather than burying them deeper, where they'll fester and lead to more problems in the long run.
