A club exists at my school for the purpose of evangelizing students

[Violet]

I have no qualms denying military recruiters access to schools.

As for chess club, in most cases these are directly operated by the school itself, so denying its own club recruitment drives would not make sense.

You have a chess club what is operated by the school itself? 0.o

Wat.

Can I haz yur skull? Tanks.

Oh man, if I were still in school and such a club existed, I would totally go there, just to rock the boat and have the pleasure of laughing at them while they tried to convert me

I'd abuse the hell out of the prize of 'converting' me... who wouldn't go for such a temptation?

...

I suppose it's going a little far to ask if any of them are lesbiandtotallygay?

But lawful rulings are not based on emotional "quams" of how a single person feels. O.k...marine corp recruiters in school are o.k for some, but not o.k. for others. Who's right? What is offensive? What is harmful? If your offended by my political view is it lawfull to have my political ideas banned. I'm offended by people wearing bluejeans! Shouldn't bluejeans be banned then?

So they're offended? So fucking what?

Ahhh... Mr. Fry.

Exactly: there's both a Christian group and an LGBTQ one at my university, and I'm fine with that, though I do give the christian one a wide berth because otherwise they try to talk you into joining and I'm too polite to just ignore a conversation.

Here I thought politeness was specifically the opposite of offensiveness... but I guess rudeness is really the better fit for proper opposition.

Usually, if I want to avoid offending... I excuse myself from the conversation. So, pretty much only for grandmother, religious friends, and 11/9 Truthers.

That said, I do know for a fact that the christian group has in the past complained about the queer collective to the administration because it's 'inappropriate,' so I feel like the question here is justified.

Which is called hypocrisy, and should be dismissed as such

I think the Christians here are missing the point of the objections(at least my objections). These people are specifically proselytizing to the youth, because they are more susceptible to manipulation and have yet to carve out a concrete self-identity. It conjures up images of a predator stalking prey, sniffing out the weakest of the herd in order to go in for the easy kill.

Excellent. You've passed your first marketing lesson: finding your mark

Pickpocketing and Marketing are remarkably similar... just the latter has better lobbying

And hands.

There are atheist clubs, usually at the HS level, mostly aimed at actually providing a club for atheist students. However, most American atheists agree that 'going after' young children is inappropriate, it's unlikely we'll use the same tactics to counteract the Good News Club type of organizations at the grade school level. It just isn't right to do an end-run around parents like that.

I never thought their parents had shit to do with it...

Still don't, but ynever know what some peeps be thinking.

Only God can decide that, it's not your kingdom, and by what scripture says I will be with my God forever and ever. What could an atheist possibly know about being a disciple of Christ. You do not like the strong stance I take for my God, it irritates you to no end, and as you say, if I'm right wouldn't you want to know, I know for a fact that God is real and has made me a part of His life!!!!!!!!!

Plenty.

God is real, but then... so is everything else.

Can't imagine he enjoys the relationship all that much, maybe he just gets off on having a solid quantity of friends?

@ Marnie, I do not know if they call you Marnie or not, we do here. I let everyone know I'm a Christian, I'm not ashamed of who I am. I took what you said as you were trying to keep it a secret, like yes I'm an atheist but don't tell anyone. Is your family atheistic, just curious. Oh, by the way hitting your head against your desk could result in bloody lumps and brain damage, believe me I know.

Why am I reminded of...

I won't question it.
