why would it be wrong to be an extremist if you had a perfect philosophy?

You're kidding, right?

How true is that? Unfortunately, I remember the church camp from eons ago. (I've tried to block it out.) They were so freaked over some of the dumbest things, and the boys' dorm was seperate from the girls' dorm by a friggin' ravine! We weren't allowed to eat together, do any of the activities together, the only time we were allowed to interact was in chapel.

I used to buy into a lot of the hype, but as I've aged I've became way less conservative. WAY LESS!!!

I would expect this sort of rule in the state of Utah. But for Ohio, ridiculous!

Living in Utah must be like being an old person. Everything you do is completely justified because no one wants to deal with you.

i am not using the word extremist how its understood in popular culture. i believe the teachings of JESUS CHRIST are perfect, so i try to conform every aspect of life after them. because of this i am called an extremist. i am not talking about forcing my views on anyone but standing for absolute truth.

i agree with all of you that the school is being too legalistic. i problem with the comments that were made about ?fundamentalist christians? being intolerant. i have good friends who are satanists, atheists, muslims and other worldviews and we have fun debating each other. to me intolerance is threatening, killing or hating someone because they have a different view then you. i have homosexual friends who understand that my problem with homosexuality is not personal but simply trying to take a stand on biblical commandants. i have no problem if one believed i was wrong but please dont say its because christians are homophobes or hypocrites. if i said i believe in the bible and i believe homosexuality is right at the same time i would be being intellectually dishonest and inconsistent.
