This is Horrible - but I have to wonder..........if this kind of stuff is
going on at the college, then we can rest assured more garbage is going on
there - so WHY would a 'christian' be going to that garbage dump to try to
get an 'education' in the first place ??$191.00 dues where some of it goes to this ignorant paper ? How about
EVERY Christian cutting off all TUITION - PERIOD !!!

Oregon student newspaper runs pictures
of Jesus as a homosexual. It is time
to speak out!
Dear Robin,
The Da Vinci Delusion - Order your copy
today - $25 The Associated Students of
the University of Oregon (ASUO) has
refused to apologize for an obscene
anti-Christian assault in the campus
newspaper Insurgent.
The March edition of the Insurgent ran
one of the strongest attacks on
Christianity I have seen. The paper
ran graphics depicting Jesus as a
homosexual. One was a depiction of a
naked Jesus on the cross with an
erection; the other, titled
Resurrection, showed a naked Jesus
kissing another naked man, both
sporting erections.
(To see the graphics, click here. We
warn you that they are extremely
offensive. We have pixilated out the
private parts.)
When asked for an apology by Students
of Faith, ASUO refused to give one
saying that "there are no grounds for
demanding an apology from Insurgent."
The ASUO went on to defend the
publication saying that the newspaper
contributes "to the cultural and
physical development of the university
community."
The Insurgent would never show a naked
graphic of the Rev. Martin Luther King
kissing another man, both sporting
erections. But offending Christians
was of no concern to the Insurgent or
to University President Dave Frohmayer.
The ASUO Women's Center tolerates no
defamation against gays and lesbians.
Three years ago, ASUO demanded that the
university radio station, KUGN, drop
Michael Savage (a conservative talk
show host). The university promptly
discontinued the program. But
depicting Jesus as a homosexual is
perfectly OK.
Here is what Insurgent Student Editor
Jessica Brown had to say about the
graphics. "I have to say it is really
fun to offend people. It is fun to
break the rules. If it pi--es people
offâ?¦good that's the point!!! It has
here in this office. So read, get
pi--ed and talk about it."
Incidentally, the University forces all
students, including Christians, to pay
student dues of $191.00 per term, part
of which goes to support the Insurgent.
Take Action
Send an email letter to the Governor,
University President and other Oregon
officials protesting this
anti-Christian bigotry.
Very important! Please forward this
to your friends and family. It is
important for them to become aware of
the growing anti-Christian bias in our
country. It is time for Christians to
speak out saying that bigotry against
Christiansâ?"or any faithâ?"is
unacceptable.
