Why do Christians hand out free Ice Cream at Colleges?

[GingerSnaps]

Why do they hand you a bible when you go up to take a "free ice cream"? Is it free if you have to listen to them preach a "religious sermon"? Who provides the expense account for the "Ice Cream" God? :shrug:

I am always inclined to ask them questions and they get stumped on the one that I ask "Can you name one thing that Bush has done good for this country"? :think: :dunce: Stumps them every time!

1. Is God Dead?

That's a fun question too :)

[Old and In the Way]

5. May favorite to ask: Can God make a square circle?

When they answer yes, I ask them how do they know. They just believe...so I tell them, I'll happily join and spread the word if they can provide evidence, just come back with proof and I'll join you in the crusade. They always leave fired up, but they never return....

:-)

15. Can God make a stone so heavy even he can't lift it?

[laheina]

18. you can play philosophy word games

with them, or you can go full blown epistemology. Check it out; This one always pisses off my fundie sister.

God is omnipotent.
God gave us the gift of free will.

But if we have free will, then God can't influence our decisions or make us change our minds.

If God can't make us change our minds, then he can't be omnipotent.

What kind of a freaking God isn't omnipotent?

[arwalden]

21. But... but... but.... but....

Bwa-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!

[midnight armadillo]

24. The Philosopher's God

Attributed to Leibnitz, I believe...

Choose any two:
God is omniscient
God is omnipotent
God is infinitely just
All three together are mutually contradictory. Fundie escape argument: we can't understand God's justice, but I'll bet you'll never hear them say that.

19. Good suggestion

:bounce:

[TheMightyFavog]

26. Could God microwave a burrito so hot that not even he could eat it?

Obvious Simpsons reference.

[More Than A Feeling]

34. Yes, he can, surprisingly

lets say that a man is walking down a road and comes to a fork. God wants the man to go left. So he creates a rock that blocks the right fork so heavy the man can't lift it, so the man must go left.

God cannot lift this rock because he wants the man to go left, and the rock is heavy enough that the man can't lift it.

Voila, a rock so heavy that God can't lift it!

Hooray for my 200th post!

2. Why the ice cream?

It's easy to hide the drugs in. ;)

[drhilarius]

3. The question I ask:

"I'm lactose intolerant, why would God do that to me?"

[LiberalVoice]

4. cuz' he's damned all us liberals.

:shrug:

[GingerSnaps]

6. Are they doing this at all Colleges or are they targeting Art Colleges?

We have a high percentage of gay students :wow: Could they be targeting the Art Schools. :shrug:

[jdots]

7. Are you ready to accept Murry as your savior ?

well heres a cookie ......You know it's not Ben & Jerry's ice cream

[GingerSnaps]

8. Good Humor and Dove Bars

9. whoa, whoa, whoa

where the hell is this? ive never gotten jack SHIT from the biblethumpers on campus


:hippie: The Incorrigible Democrat

[GingerSnaps]

12. I went to a Private College for my Associates Degree

Is it normal at larger Colleges for Christians to be there every week handing out Ice Cream and bibles?

[realisticphish]

14. o ok

the only thing fundies hand out here is insults about how we're drunken masterbaiters. One great quote (i actually heard this): (to a girl walking along) "WHORE!" (to girl walking with first girl) "FRIEND OF A WHORE"


:hippie: The Incorrigible Democrat

10. Ice Cream Putsch

Hitler did it with beer.

[ghostsofgiants]

11. Honestly, if free ice cream is involved, I don't give a shit.

I'm extremely non-religious, but I don't mind hearing a bit of the shit if it gets me some free ice cream.

[GingerSnaps]

13. Everyone goes back for seconds

They all use the same excuse "I have to get to Class". They have caught on now you don't get the Ice Cream before you hear the sermon.

[Moonbeam_Starlight]

16. Huh.

Back when I was in college Campus Crusade for Christ people just glared at us and waved little pamphlets in our faces. That's when I found out just being Christian doesn't cut it with some people. You have to be a CERTAIN KIND.

I never knew that before then, I really didn't. My introduction to Christian cliques.

[GingerSnaps]

17. The first week of class we got a duffel bag filled with stuff

It was so packed that most of us sorted it and took back all of the religious things that were in the bag that we didn't need. The bag was nice and it comes in handy as a laundry bag for dirty underwear :evilgrin:

The following week they were back with more religious things and a free box lunch.

They have been at the College with Ice Cream and Bibles for the last several weeks.

"Campus Crusade for Christ" It might be the same group of people.

[Bill McBlueState]

36. It was almost certainly them

Campus "Crusade" for "Christ" is all about using stealth to snare you into joining them. It's an interesting comment on the type of God they believe in that they always feel the need to be so sneaky.

At my college, they would have a survey table where you'd answer a bunch of questions about God and (of course) put your name, address, and phone number on the bottom. And you'd get a pizza coupon or something. Then they'd show up in your dorm room a few days later and ask you silly questions.

When they came for me, I was studying in my bed, which was lofted some eight feet off the ground. (Yes, I was a dumbass freshman who actually gave them my contact info.) The dude asked, "If you fell off that bed and died right now, do you know whether you'd go to heaven?"

Tasteful in every way.

[izzie]

20. It is faith based ice cream.

All that stuff is nuts. It is of course some thing giving so they can preach.

[Shoeempress]

22. Ever ask them if gluttony is a sin as they hand out ice cream?

[GingerSnaps]

23. Note to self

I need to ask them about the gluttony issue.

[Politicub]

25. That's an improvement

The ones that used to preach at the college I went to only handed out evil looks and called people names.

[JVS]

27. Dude, I want some free Ice Cream. I've never been offered Ice Cream!

[the Princess]

28. Sugar makes it easier to brainwash someone

True. Anyone wo has ever had anything to do with a cult will tell you all they gave them to eat was candy and sweets.

[Modem Butterfly]

29. They like watching girl's nipples get hard when they eat something cold

Well, one in ten are watching the boy's nipples get hard...

[GingerSnaps]

31. I think that their bookstore sells

One shade of blonde hair dye because they all look like cookie cutter women.

[Susang]

30. That sounds a lot like the Moody Bible Institute's tactics

They do a lot of that kind of stuff here in Chicago. I think they treat it like early training for their missionary workers.

[donheld]

32. Take the bible, then

take the ice cream and pitch the bible

damn now i want ice cream

[Cuban_Liberal]

33. No one would come up, if they were handing out rattlesnakes.

Best answer I can think of...

[GingerSnaps]

35. They hand low carb one's out

You can't buy the one's that they are handing out.

I thought that this was a common thing at Colleges until it started happening every week.

If it's not being done in every College then these little bible thumpers are trying to put the word of god into some of the students that are gay.

I am going to check into their tactics because it's not right pushing their God off on other people.
