This particular class had around 150 people in it, so it wasn't really discussion based in lecture. However, me and a friend were able to speak up in our respective sections, and since I know the professor very well (he's my adviser and a live-in house dean in my dorm) I was able to communicate my concerns with him as well. As frustrating as it is that people view Christianity like this, I'm grateful that I am in an environment where I can respond to their arguments. It helps me figure out exactly what I believe as well and I can practice expressing my thoughts. It reminds me of Romans 8:28, that God makes all things work together for good to those who love Him.

Sociology and philosophy were bad enough. I don't think I could've stood not speaking out in class regarding the the blithering idiocy of the 'enlightened' Mr. Rubbishven.

Apropos of that, I like the idea of a conservababes blog. :) Ugh... finals studying time.

I agree that Ruthven's "arguments" say more about him than they do about Christians. And as you point out, his claim about women is absolutely pathetic. Last I checked, wasn't it men who were more frequently led by what's in their pants than women? ;) Bridget, you basically made every point that I presented to Prof. Brann at the end of the class about this book.

It's so absurd, you just have to crack up. Jesus on the cross = erotic? Wow, okay, someone has a fetish for S&M - but it's not the Christians. It's the Leftists who make naked chocolate Jesus. <blockquote>On a planetary level they are selfish, greedy, and stupid, damaging the environment by the excessive use of energy and lobbying against environmental controls. What is the point of saving the planet, they argue, if Jesus is arriving tomorrow? </blockquote> Okay, I have a big problem here. PROVE IT. Seriously, if you're going to say that Christians are sucking up resources, prove that Christians use more energy than their non-Christian neighbours, and do so because they are certain that Christ will return tomorrow (not in, say, another 2,000 years). About abortion... um, excuse me, abortion is legal in every state in the country. If we are trying to make it illegal, it's not because we want to "inconvenience" women; it's because we want them to use a freakin condom before rolling in the hay with men who have multiple pre-existing child support obligations. My favourite? A few Christians have killed abortion doctors. Um, okay: 1) judging 100 million people by the actions of a handful is mentally retarded. I'm sorry, it's objectively baseless. 2) Y'all slaughter 1.3 million babies a year because they aren't convenient. <blockquote>In other words, Ruthven seems to think the only reason women are members of fundamentalist congregations is because they are sexually attracted to the preacher or they consider him to be a fatherly figure. Classy argument there.</blockquote> Tieki, it's one of those arguments that says far more about the person making it than it does about Christian women. It's amazing... doesn't that argument basically say, "Women can't think for themselves"? Sickening. Wow… thanks for the laugh. It’s so absurd, you just have to crack up.
