Easter, fueled by the Passion I think, has fueled some religious displays on campus recently. First there were a bunch of crosses to “raise awareness” about abortion.
But the best was a crucifiction scene, done every hour, in the middle of campus. I talked with a guy out there for about an hour or so, but he was just a freshman getting into the thick of things, so all he really had to say was, “Gee, you’ve thought a lot about this stuff.” Standing out there in the rain with my jacket and gloves I was very cold. I can’t imagine how the guy playing Jesus felt.
I tell everyone that this stuff reminds me of home. I can’t explain why it draws me in the way it does. I just find it fascinating. The guy did say that this is the first year they’ve done this here. At first I thought it might be a sign of increasing religiousity, but, like I said at the beginning, I think it’s just due to the Passion.
So the $65, 000 question IS: are you more aware of abortion now?
the first thing that came to mind after reading this is that i would have picked up the nearest stone and fired away. i respect others’ beliefs, but damn, that’s going too far. christians need to start respecting others’ beliefs, i’m so sick of having things pressed upon me. i’m having jesus rage right now. bleh.
this is like such a gd arcitle im soooooo pleased heehee
