Bob Jones University told rape victims to repent and look for ‘root sin’ that caused their attack

Maybe the root sin was being alone and unarmed in a room with a member of the clergy!

Gee, and I thought Bob Jones was homo heaven.

Must be at least one straight boi there . .

"You are in difficulties. Some one has hurt you. You are ill. REPENT!"

This is what I think of as the friends-of-Job Christians. In case you haven't read Job, the plot is simple. Job is a god-fearing man. The devil bets god he can make Job lose faith. God allows the devil to kill Job's cattle, kill his children, cover him in boils etc. Never mind the horribleness of the idea a loving god would allow such a thing, the point is Job's friends come to "comfort" him by suggesting that Job must have done something terrible. In the Bible these friends of Job don't come off well. If there was a hell, a special place in it should be reserved for such "friends."

Nevertheless the idea that sinning leads to misfortune is very Old Testament. That's what the prophets are all about. Israel is suffering because Israelites have turned from god. Repent Israel. It's as pernicious a doctrine as prosperity theology.

The only upside is that Bob Jones University is another institution that seems to specialize in inadvertently making atheists of the very devout. The friends-of-Job attitude moves that right along.

I get truly pissed off at the victim blaming mentality.

Luckily, most men don't think this way.

I've read a number of essays by ex-Christian attendees that make it very clear what a weird place it is. Our family visited the art museum there this summer. They have a collection of Renaissance Italian art worth seeing should you be in Greenville. But just driving through the campus was weird. It was passing period when we drove in and there were crossing guards with whistles on every corner directing traffic. Not that there was much traffic. We were about it. And I can't imagine why they would spend the money on all those crossing guards. But it does suggest that they treat students like very small children. All the students were in dresses or suits (depending on sex) which looked odd with ordinary student backpacks.

Yep most people, even theists don't behave this way.
