Re: University of Michigan Kicks Christian Club off Campus
I took a look at UofM's website and discovered that there are already 20 Christian clubs registered and willing to sign up to the rules, as are 2 Jewish, 1 Hindu and 1 Moslem clubs. I suspect this matter concerns a fringe group of fundies who wanted to make themselves into martyrs for the extremist cause. Unsurprising Fox wanted to grant them their wish.
I also noticed that the Intervarsity Christian Fellowship, the one behind the story, is also listed. Hmmm. Clearly they haven't been banned.
You miss the point like the other ranters. All they had to do was comply with the rules. Other clubs seem to find it easy. They elect the leaders they want, while nominally making the positions open to all.
The idea that a non-Christian would join a Christian club, suffer attending all their meetings, and encourage sufficient friends to join in order to win election to the leadership is ludicrous and more than a little paranoid. Even then, why would they want to do that? It's no more than yet another "Christians under attack" dogwhistle.
