Did Jesus give good head?

By : Roy

Ohio’s Lorain County Community College students are up in arms over posters hung by the school’s Atheist Club.  The club said they were not trying to piss off Christians, (which is probably not true, but I’ll give it to them) they just wanted to “stir debate about Christianity by referencing a passage of the Bible that was allegedly cut out by early Christians.” The passage is from a text called the Secret Gospel of Mark which talks about Jesus raising a man from the dead and then “showing him the secrets of the kingdom of god” (haha I’ll bet he did).

Anway, people are pissed off.

“Sophomore, Amber Cales, said the poster was in a public place, and it was easily seen by anyone who passed. She said that took away her right as a parent to shield her children from controversial ideas.”

Why are you shielding your child from controversial ideas?  Probably because you’re a lazy parent.

Responding to complaints regarding the picture being lewd and gross, the president of the Atheist Club, Aaron Weaver said, “The Bible is full of gross sexuality, rape, murder. If you’ve read through the Old Testament, you’d be disgusted,”

And Weaver said he didn’t just take a shot at Christianity. On Wednesday, he put up a picture of the prophet Mohammed — an act strictly forbidden in the Islamic faith.

He said that about 2:20 p.m. Wednesday, he received a death threat in response to the picture, which read, “With love and missiles.” He took the picture down, turned over the note to campus security officers and went home.

“I put myself at risk, but I do so freely. I don’t let fear or the threat of death stop me from speaking my mind freely,” he said.

Death threats?  That’s insane!  Kudos to Aaron Weaver for sticking up for himself.  It will be a sad moment for education when we can’t freely express ourselves in public colleges.
