You joke about it, but I’m actually in that “Rape!”-shouting religion. It kind of sucks.

as a response to #133, KCCC is named KCCC on a large part due to logistical reasons. KCCC is a global group and the group receives financial aids from the global group. Trust me, many people in KCCC has/had problems with that name because they do know it brings some negative connotations and makes them seem exclusive (which is not the message they want to get out). But realistically, being associated with a bigger group outside the sectors of Columbia University brings them some financial benefits, staff members, and legitimacy. It sucks that KCCC as a whole is getting blamed when there is no hard evidence that this event was associated with them. For all we know the group could have been from outside Columbia. Its just ignorant to pass the blame to the nearest match and have everyone jump on that bandwagon because they feel safe there opposed to actually seeking the truth behind the incident…

In response to 126 and 131,

This is Evan J. Biederstedt (in the flesh, much like the eucharist)…

I did not write #112. The difference between myself and 112 is that I AM NOT tolerant of religion…any of them.

May Wotan, Brahma, Zeus, Jehovah, and all the rest be with you…

I’m sure the bulk of KCCC members are well-intentioned and not crazy…

But I am frankly disgusted by the fact that they don’t change their name. Korean Campus Crusade for Christ is a wholy inappropriate name due to its use of the word crusade… That would be like a group on campus calling themselves the Indonesian Campus Jihad for Allah… Not only would that not be kosher on this campus but it would probably be put on some FBI watch list…

The word “Crusade” has a lot of negative historical connotations and is quite insensitive to other religous communities on campus…

Obviously I am not saying they should not be allowed to have chose that name since I’m a fan of free speech BUT it says A LOT about the people who join that group or lead it…… they should expect to be treated as a fanatical fringe group by chosing to have such a name

You think this was KCCC? Ha! There are higher powers at work here.

The hunger strike, the exorcism, these were all the doing of Mr. Sinister. You can bet that Res Life and Public Safety won’t be shutting down frat parties, dorm parties, and bars while you clamor over an issue that is yet again the alleged creation of a niche groups of radicals.

The sustenance of your fun lies in the existence of these controversies. You need me. You need these. Join me, and we will distract the University from restricting the fun that all of us enjoy and crave, by stirring up controversies like this.

“noodly appendage.” Perhaps you can suspend your unwarranted embarrassment for just a few moments and google it.
You accuse me of ad hominems, and then call me fanatical for having a strong opinion? Clever. My calling people delusional isn’t meant as an insult so much as a diagnosis. You know why it’s a diagnosis? Because there is a set of logical and rational steps, grounded in physical facts, leading to this conclusion.
Why are you a hypocrite? Because you can’t have both: you can either believe in magic or you can know and understand physical reality. Yes, in your everyday life those things don’t conflict. But trust me, there are places beyond your own experience, and in those places, religion and physical facts collide quite violently.
You know why your precious Christianity got attacked? Because it is fundamentally no different from the commenter whose religion prescribes screaming “Rape” and “Fire.” If he were serious, would he not get (rightfully) lambasted on here in the same way? Then why should anyone restrain from treating Christianity the same way? As I said, if you want to go screw a horse to attain salvation, I have no problem with it: buy a horse, buy a plot of land, build yourself a temple, and screw the horse into oblivion. But I don’t want to know about it. Moreover, I will feel very much within my rights to ridicule you and question your contribution to our society. Because, let’s face it, while some of us are working, you expect special treatment, accommodations and respect because your religion calls for horse-fucking.
Was that too extreme for your delicate palate? Fine. Replace “horse-fucking” with “praying.”
