Oh boy, I'm pissed
right now it's a day when frats, sororities and student groups are allowed to set up information booths in the student union. Quite a few today are various Christian groups. One of them (one of the more conservative ones, I'm sure) has a billboard up next to a cooler full of pop saying "Name 6 of the 10 Commandments, and we'll reward you with a free ice cold soda."

But below it: "Careful though, if you name more than 6, the government may confiscate you (Judge Roy Moore)"

UGH! :mad: I was somehow able to control my temper and walk by without saying anything.

1. Get a list of the Catholic commandments and then pick out the
ones that are different than the protestant ones. Take the book with you and after they tell you you are wrong, show them in the book exactly the ones you listed.

6. It is best in life to ignore everything with which you disagree.

8. Respect them for making their position upfront
You wouldn't want some unsuspecting liberal Christian freshman to be sucked into their group, would you? There are groups that do act like cults in that they present the least contraversial material to new members first and gradually present the more contraversial ideas that the new member would have disagreed with before they got involved. This group was making their message clear from the beginning.
