FIRE is pleased to announce the winners of its Freedom on Campus student video contest. American college and university students were invited to submit short videos documenting school policies or practices that stifle their freedoms on campus, with the opportunity to win scholarships and other prizes. A $1,000 scholarship went to Timothy Hawco of SUNY Fredonia for his video Day of Protest.
"Lay hold on her"? "Humble her"? Those verses mean that if a man rapes an unbetrothed girl, he has to pay her father and marry her.
And anyway, earlier on, in 22:5, it says that a woman that wears "that which pertaineth unto a man," aka pants is an "abomination." I personally don't know one Christian woman that has never worn jeans.

@hchavens, I know you posted this 7 months ago but I just couldn't let it go.
How do you get "rape" from that verse.
Its essentially says that if you hook up with a girl you have to marry her, you can't just sleep with her and abandon her or the kid you most likely fathered.

Is Brother Jed still rattling around? I saw him at the University of Kentucky with his wife and young daughter 23 years ago. He was calling all of us "whores," and all of the guys "whore mongers." It wasn't a very effective way to spread the word of God.

you might want to read that story again, I fear you are missing the point - be hospitable.

Did Brother Jed come to your campus, too? God, I can't stand him, although he is really more hilarious than irritating. You really gotta laugh at some of the nonsense he spouts.

God is love? God loves gays? Hello, he destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah.
These people are delusional and serve themselves not God.

The bible states a lot of things I'm sure you have discounted. Hell just take Deuteronomy 22:28-29, would you marry your rapist, or ANY rapist for that matter?

The bible was written by man. And god gave man free will. So it just goes to reason that some politics of man would get caught up in god's "word" whatever that may be.

The kid in this video says "The bible is not as important to me as spreading the word of God cause God is love." Yes, God IS love, but the Bible IS his word. The Bible is where it says that God is love, so how can you discount other sections of it as not his word? If God wanted the Bible to be his word, he wouldn't have allowed anything into it that he didn't want us to believe.
