Group says university stadium not suitable for Promise Keepers
No, no, no - this cannot be true! A group exclusively in favor of one religion over another? Say it isn't so! The reason the university stadium cannot be used for this speech? The group is intolerant of other religions. Okay, so tolerance must mean that I have to accept every view from every other person in the world. Well, that's an interesting definition. I also like the definition of diversity in the article - we should include everything except that which seems to deny diversity. What? Isn't diversity everything? I don't have to agree with you, but isn't it in the best interest of diversity to allow us both to speak? The best, though, is the last paragraph: "Tarvin, Bennett and Dietzel said their purpose is twofold. They want the university to bar Promise Keepers from the campus and they want to educate men who are going to these events so they have the opportunity to think beyond Promise Keepers’ rhetoric, to what they called the propaganda behind it." Who is seeking converts now?
The next article, I read with a sense of disbelief. Vanity plate illegal endorsement of religion? At least she got to keep it, though!
You know what? Just take a look at this site!
