They can't all be true." I agree with this (and I am pretty sure you know which side of the fence I am on with that one). </p> <p>BUT, thank you for sharing. You too @Mrs. Pen. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/6-reasons-to-not-send-your-daughter-to-college/page/2#post-1095004 Wed, 18 Sep 2013 13:23:24 +0000 pui 1095004@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MsLipGloss: There is a lot of debate about which translation is more accurate... my rule of thumb is if you're having trouble determining the meaning behind a passage, check multiple translations, and if you're still not sure, check out the original Hebrew.</p> <p>This type of "inspired", <i>divinely</i> inspired, is not the same as a person being "inspired" to write a poem. Divinely inspired means that God wrote the Bible through the hands of the people who wrote it on paper.</p> <p>In the end, either one religion is true, or none are. They can't all be true. Of course as a believer in Jesus Christ and a reader of the Bible, I believe whole-heartedly that Christianity is the truth. </p> <p>Anyway I think we're getting off topic here. I hope I've made some things clearer. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/6-reasons-to-not-send-your-daughter-to-college/page/2#post-1094988 Wed, 18 Sep 2013 13:18:16 +0000 MsLipGloss 1094988@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@pui: You're right, it *should* come straight from the Bible (a lot of things should be a certain way, but they aren't). . . but which Bible, which language, which has the most accurate translation (translations performed by men) ?. . . and *inspired* means just that inspired and, therefore, subject to the limitations, perceptions, opinions, biases, etc., of the inspire-ee . . . most religions claim to the *inspired* by The God . . . and yet most believe that every other religion that makes the same claim (of being *inspired*) is not the true religion. Circular reasoning . . .</p> <p>ETA: Your logic, by operation, *should* result in all religions (*inspired* by the same God) sharing the same beliefs . . . but that is not the case. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/6-reasons-to-not-send-your-daughter-to-college/page/2#post-1094981 Wed, 18 Sep 2013 13:15:11 +0000 Mrs. Pen 1094981@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@pui: +1! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/6-reasons-to-not-send-your-daughter-to-college/page/2#post-1094978 Wed, 18 Sep 2013 13:14:41 +0000 Mrs. Pen 1094978@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MsLipGloss: True most people in any religion follow a "religious leader" to interpret and pass on teachings they have studied. However every pastor of every church I have ever attended encourages all members to compare their words with those in the bible - to be sure that what is being taught matches up with the bible - which is the "blueprint" for Christianity. I would not attend a church where the pastor stated his word as law and didn't encourage individual participation in the faith.<br /> Many Christians I know are completely independent of others and DO practice their religion indepedent of anyone else (having church at home, etc). So although I see where you are coming from, and I understand why so many Christians tend to follow religious leaders, I do not believe that has to or should be the norm. </p> <p>I see a lot of people burned by Christians, I do. And it completely breaks my heart because that isn't how it should be. But if everyone based their christian faith off of how every other Christian lived their life- this religion would be dead. Christian or not we all make mistakes and we all hurt other people. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/6-reasons-to-not-send-your-daughter-to-college/page/2#post-1094969 Wed, 18 Sep 2013 13:11:33 +0000 pui 1094969@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MsLipGloss: A Christian's beliefs should come straight from the Bible. Being a Christian in no way requires filtering the Bible through a person, unless you can't read I suppose. Christians believe that the Bible is the actual word of God, so while it contains "The Gospel of Matthew" the words there, while written by a human being, were divinely inspired by God. There is no "bias" in the Bible itself. While people may have their own opinion about what a passage is trying to say here and there, usually when a belief is way out there, the person with that belief has a lot of trouble finding verses that support it, unless they do a lot of stretching. The Bible is pretty darn clear about things. If Christians try and to follow God but never open their Bibles for themselves... I'd say they are going to have a hard time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/6-reasons-to-not-send-your-daughter-to-college/page/2#post-1094955 Wed, 18 Sep 2013 13:05:25 +0000 MsLipGloss 1094955@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Pen: I totally get where you are coming from, but your beliefs are based off someone else's interpretation of what God's plan/teachings is/are/should be . . . Following any religion requires you to follow someone who has claimed to follow God, i.e., the "Gospel according to So and So" which is inherently prone to personal interpretation and bias (although I don't necessarily mean bias in a negative sense). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/6-reasons-to-not-send-your-daughter-to-college/page/2#post-1094925 Wed, 18 Sep 2013 12:53:50 +0000 avivoca 1094925@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@irene: I'm very sorry that you've had bad experiences with the church. I hope that you are able to return some day to a congregation that can show you the true meaning of the Christian faith instead of what you've experienced in the past. This is an argument I've had with my husband many times, as he has been exposed to congregations that are similar to what you talk about and he has a hard time not judging all Christians by them. </p> <p>I'm still searching for the right church here, and I've lived in this town for three years and visited a number of churches. It takes a lot of work, and one day, we'll both find what we need. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/6-reasons-to-not-send-your-daughter-to-college/page/2#post-1094840 Wed, 18 Sep 2013 12:19:27 +0000 MsLipGloss 1094840@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@plantains: +1 to Wanker!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/6-reasons-to-not-send-your-daughter-to-college/page/2#post-1094838 Wed, 18 Sep 2013 12:19:06 +0000 Glitter 1094838@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just lost 5 minutes of my life reading that article, that I will never, ever regain. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/6-reasons-to-not-send-your-daughter-to-college/page/2#post-1094837 Wed, 18 Sep 2013 12:17:29 +0000 plantains 1094837@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This douchey ass with his entitled shitty blog post makes me a little sad about widespread internet access.

My faith is MY OWN, a relationship with the God I believe in. the moment my faith becomes about others, then I'm not really following God, am I? I'm following the people who SAY they follow God - and that is not faith in God, it's a faith in people... who will always fail and disappoint because people are not perfect and never will be. </p> <p>I'm sorry you've had bad experiences with Christians, but it's not fair to apply a blanket statement to all Christians. I agree with the others that the use of retard was derogatory. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/6-reasons-to-not-send-your-daughter-to-college/page/2#post-1094769 Wed, 18 Sep 2013 11:56:56 +0000 looch 1094769@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@irene: I don't think it's a bad thing to express how you feel, but the use of the word retard to imply what you did is just, off. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/6-reasons-to-not-send-your-daughter-to-college/page/2#post-1094761 Wed, 18 Sep 2013 11:54:54 +0000 pui 1094761@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@irene: I'm sorry to hear that you've had such bad experiences with church. There are many churches out there that are much more progressive. I hope one day you can find another church that makes you feel more welcome. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/6-reasons-to-not-send-your-daughter-to-college/page/2#post-1094751 Wed, 18 Sep 2013 11:51:21 +0000 MsLipGloss 1094751@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>On the whole, this article is too ridiculous for me to take seriously. </p> <p>If we haven't learned at this point that the outliers (and the just plain weirdos) always speak with the loudest voice and rarely--if ever-- speak for the majority, well, then, we need to hit the (history) books and brush up on that lesson lickety split. </p> <p>@Mae: lol!</p> <p>As an aside, I have been dying to use the word *lickety* for a while now! :P </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/6-reasons-to-not-send-your-daughter-to-college/page/2#post-1094721 Wed, 18 Sep 2013 11:36:21 +0000 irene 1094721@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Pen: @pui: @Mae: @looch: @evansjamie: Sorry I have offended you in any way. I have changed my post to correct the wording.</p> <p>However this is really what/how I feel. I used to be a Christian who goes to Church. I still believe in God. This is really one of the reasons why I stopped going. Maybe somehow I had the misfortune to always meet the problematic ones. I don't know. That is just my experience. I can delete that too if that bothers everyone so much. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/6-reasons-to-not-send-your-daughter-to-college/page/2#post-1094679 Wed, 18 Sep 2013 11:21:43 +0000 avivoca 1094679@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@irene: Not all Christians subscribe to this one man's theory. The original article is a product of fundamentalist Christianity, a stance that millions of Christians do not take. As a Christian, I do not subscribe to his beliefs. No church I have ever attended has even touted these beliefs.</p> <p>Please don't base your judgement of an entire religion and it's followers on one small fundamentalist segment. After all, I'm sure you would not like us to judge you based on the comments you've made here. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/6-reasons-to-not-send-your-daughter-to-college/page/2#post-1094667 Wed, 18 Sep 2013 11:13:54 +0000 looch 1094667@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@irene: oh irene, retards?

I'm christian and leaning towards conservative and I am definitely not in agreement that women shouldn't go to college. There is nothing biblical about his opinion. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/6-reasons-to-not-send-your-daughter-to-college/page/2#post-1094512 Wed, 18 Sep 2013 10:10:41 +0000 Mrs. Pen 1094512@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@irene: &lt;&lt;I hate people with a conservative religious background having a point of view&gt;&gt;</p> <p>seriously?!? because I am a Christian conservative I am not entitled to my own opinions and POV? Wow. I'm sorry I didn't realize that America isn't actually a place of freedom of religion - only freedom to have a liberal agenda.</p> <p>Your post is hateful towards Christians. Just because I'm a Christian does not mean I adopt ONE man's POV. These aren't even the teachings of any church I have attended. Even if it was, everyone is entitled to their own opinion (even if wrong) and should not be called a "retard" for it. Having a religious set of beliefs does not make me a "retard", in fact I think it makes me a better person. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/6-reasons-to-not-send-your-daughter-to-college/page/2#post-1094105 Wed, 18 Sep 2013 07:42:20 +0000 irene 1094105@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LittleFox: I love that respond article!!! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/6-reasons-to-not-send-your-daughter-to-college/page/2#post-1094091 Wed, 18 Sep 2013 07:29:50 +0000 irene 1094091@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This is sickening.</p> <p>What is with "she will be on the near occasion of sin" and "the parents will also be in a near occasion of sin because of use of contraception". OK. great. So boys who goes to college are not in the near occasion of sin? This is why I stopped going to Church because I do not want to be associated with people who speaks like that. Seriously.</p> <p>If our society becomes one like this (girls should not go to college), then women might as well cover ourselves in black from head to toe or we might get raped by random men on the street, and fear getting our nose cut off by our husbands. That is just the beginning.</p> <p>And to point (1), how about lazy girls who looks for successful husbands to marry? And that is somehow acceptable and OK?</p> <p>I want to vomit.</p> <p>I do want to say I agree to one point though: (3) She will not learn to be a wife and mother. While I do not agree to how the author puts it I can see the point. I was just talking to a friend of mine, how conflicted and depressed we became, when sometimes we have to give up our career when our family status change (ie. when our babies come, it is no longer realistic to work 60 hours a week). When we were teenagers and studying hard, we never imagined, or aspired to becoming a homemaker one day. I wouldn't say it is the problem with the college, but somehow something should be done to make our girls understand that we shall be content with ourselves no matter what paths we'll take in our lives. This may be something that the parents are responsible in teaching the young girls. I don't know. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/6-reasons-to-not-send-your-daughter-to-college/page/2#post-1093983 Wed, 18 Sep 2013 06:15:14 +0000 ValentineMommy 1093983@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LittleFox: Love the response post! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/6-reasons-to-not-send-your-daughter-to-college/page/2#post-1093944 Wed, 18 Sep 2013 04:44:37 +0000 Grace 1093944@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>How does nonsense like this ever see the light of day?

He is not giving the official teaching of the Catholic Church, an organization that historically values education and *gasp* even accepts women into its universities.
