University of Virginia newspaper mocks Christ and Christians

Dear Funmudder,

Last week, the University of Virginia's student paper, The Cavalier Daily, ran a cartoon depicting a naked man smoking a cigarette in bed. Standing beside the bed, a woman in her underwear buttons up her shirt and asks, "Come on God, be honest - Did you really get a vasectomy? I can't let Joseph find out about this." The man replies, "Well, Mary, you're f***ed."

The editors used the week before Holy Week to run this bigoted cartoon belittling Christ and Christians. Just a day earlier, the paper ran a cartoon portraying a crucified Jesus telling jokes on stage.

Take Action!


* Send an e-mail to Gov. Kaine (https://secure.afa.net/afa/activism/takeaction.asp?id=309) and the members of the state college board asking that the university's newspaper show more class, intelligence and tolerance in the cartoons they run, and to stop their anti-Christian bias.
* Forward this alert to friends and family and urge them to send an e-mail.



Thank you for caring enough to get involved.

Disgusting, but not surprising.

Eh..What's a Christian to do...bomb them:idunno? God, Jesus and Christians have been picked on and poked fun at forever. It doesn't bother me. Let them live it up for now. Because eternity is a long, long time.

Thank you....I had that verse in my mind as soon as I opened this thread!

Unfortunately, My family and I lived there for about 6 years before moving to N TX. Charlottesville is probably the most liberal/leftist city in the nation. More so that San Diego I must confess. There are in fact private schools there that are clothing optional and that if you are a christian, you are openly berated in public for being such. You want to talk about persecution in your own back yard... Charlottesville is where it is at.

We started noticing a massive decline in society there when the marches for Gay rights became more or less hate rallies against christians. There in fact, is a private school there (K-12) that teaches witchcraft as a course and a lot of satanic worship openly occurs there as well.

Pray for the Calvary Chapel there as it was one I was blessed with helping with the start-up. Pray as well for the few followers in the faith that have to deal with it (the vulgarity of the society) everyday.:pray

Agape!

That is terrible. Remember, as upsetting as it, they are "flesh and blood deceived" and are taken captive to do the devil's work (thus, they need prayer). Only Jesus can open people's eyes...

Well it must have caused an uproar...today the paper has an apology and a statement that cartoon policies will be evaluated.

Sometimes it is good not to be quiet! :thumb
