I guess this is a lesson for parents to stop sending their kids to so called religious institutions especially at such a higher level. A more cosmopolitan environment will help broaden their minds. The bible preaches against fornication, however it did not say we should take matters in our hands to uphold this virtue. It is a thing of chioce and only God will judge us. The university should focus on providing guidance to their students.

This has also enabled me to seperate religion from spirituality; the two usually do not go hand in hand even though it is assumed that they do.<BR/>The secrets that hide in the walls of a church are more horrendous than those on display outside.<BR/>Convenant is run by bible-bashing, ignorant hypocrites whose interpretation of their faith is at best entertaining. To curb sexual activities, you promote a stereotype when the bulk of people living with HIV in Africa do not catch it from sexual promiscuity. Look at our medical system; how sure are you about the instruments being used to treat you. I know most people use the thermometer that is placed in your mouth, wiped down and used for someone else. <BR/>In the case of the "wardrobe" evangelists, who is to determine what is appropriate or not. I have been told that I am sinful...because I wear jeans; not because my left boob was hanging out or that my derriere rack was on display but because I chose to dorn on an attire that permitted to move around with freedom .I can just imagine the part of "hell" I have earned with such an act.<BR/>Utter nonsense!!!Ms. Catwalqhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06506293561878301421noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15779774.post-87541438134192292292007-07-31T17:38:00.000+01:002007-07-31T17:38:00.000+01:00Yep the Naija hypocrisy is certainly an issue.
