Pensacola Christian College

[Gauss]

So like most of the U.S. I was raised Christian and I have internalized its moral teachings and I think I'm a better person for it. We've seen that many people just take Christianity too far though. Some of these bible beaters even found colleges and manage to wrangle .edu domains. I introduce to you Pensacola Christian College:

Pensacola Christian College :: Why Attend a Christian College

It reads like a poor attempt at trolling, but it's just not.

Unfortunately, Satan doesn’t want you to choose a Christian college. He wants to control your future.

What the fuck? Did they seriously just blame Satan because people don't want to attend a college where there's "lights out" time and there's no smoking, drinking or sex allowed? I feel embarassed to be in the same state as these looneys. I also feel bad for kids that get forced to go to a place like that by their fundamentalist parents under the auspices of receiving a "Christian" education.

Our God is a Awesome God

Seriously though and...many laughs aside.

You learned valuable moral teachings being brought up Christian eh? What were they? Different from any other religious teachings or non-religious?

lol @

I can’t afford to attend a Christian college.

If God calls you to attend a Christian college, He can provide for you. What the Lord orders, He pays for. He’ll take care of you, and we can help, too. PCC offers a variety of scholarship and work programs for qualified students in need. The concentrated semester program provides a five-week break between semesters and an “early out” in May so that the student who needs to work, can. Pensacola Christian College works hard to make a college education affordable to all.

Someone call Kohl to this thread to start fagging it up with abiogenesis stat!

Obviously Gauss is afraid that PCC will "cramp his style yo" and they provided their answer for it.

“Attending a Christian college will cramp my freedom and fun.”

The answer to this myth really depends on why you want to go to college in the first place. If you think of college as a way to get away from home and parents and “do your own thing,” then perhaps PCC would cramp your style. However, if you know that after high school you need additional education, Christian training, and preparation for life, then Pensacola Christian College will suit you perfectly.

There are numerous opportunities for fun, sports, dating, and witnessing for Christ. Our activities calendar is a busy one, and boredom is never a problem.

If you believe in the satan described in the Christian bible, he pretty much does want to control your life and make you as sinful as he can.

Another big part of being a Christian is to trust that God will provide for everything you 'need' and if you follow the path he wants you to, you'll do pretty well in your life. This is a realization of that philosophy. So, if God wants you to go to this college and you go to it, he'll take care of it. Usually through charity. Charity helps the giver and receiver so it's like two birds with one stone.

By the way, I don't really like Christian colleges and wouldn't send my kids to one despite being a Christian!

PCC also has strict policies regarding mixed-gender interaction. Physical contact between members of the opposite sex (including shaking hands) is not permitted under any circumstance. Written permission of the dean’s office must be procured for all off-campus meetings between members of the opposite sex. In addition, all mixed-gender meetings (on and off-campus), must have a PCC chaperone present.[6] All stairwells and elevators on campus are segregated by gender. In the absence of being able to have physical contact, a fad has developed among dating students on campus where couples stare deeply into each other’s eyes. This practice by students is variously called "eye kissing", or "optical intercourse" and is jokingly called "making eye babies."[6] This activity however is discouraged by the administration.

Other violations of PCC policy include the use of language considered profane or foul by the college administration, visiting movie theaters, patronizing unauthorized area businesses, being off campus after hours and being in another residence hall room after hours. Additionally, being in a residence hall belonging to a member of the opposite sex, the use of alcohol, or tobacco products, gambling, possession or use of pornography, engaging in any form of pre-marital sexual activity or any other actions considered by the college to be immoral, and engaging in social activities with members of the opposite sex as a group while off campus can result in immediate dismissal. The administration of PCC also reviews any reports brought to their attention of students behaving in a manner unbecoming of PCC ideals who are at home or away on school breaks while enrolled at the college.[12]

Isn't college supposed to be about freedom and finding who you are? Jesus Christ, I feel sorry for all the retarded students who go to this stupid school.

Demerits and punishments

At the beginning of each semester students are required to sign a waiver stating that they understand "attendance at PCC is a privilege not a right" and that they therefore agree to abide by all regulations and guidelines set forth by the college. Students who are found to be in violation of this signed agreement are subject to administrative review by the Discipline Committee (members of the college administration selected to review alleged infractions of college policies), during which time demerits are assigned or canceled corresponding to the degree of the infraction or circumstantial conditions surrounding the incident in question. Although nearly all students acquire demerits at one time or another, historically one-third of the PCC students do not accumulate enough demerits (over 25) to be retained on their records. As a result, one-third of PCC student records reflect 0 demerits per semester, and most other PCC students records contain a very minimal number of demerits.[13]

For students who do acquire demerits, PCC has four levels of punishment; students can be "campused", "socialed", "shadowed", or expelled. An accumulation of 75 demerits results in being campused for two weeks. Campused students are not permitted to leave the campus grounds or speak with any other student subject to discipline. The punishment of being campused reoccurs with every new accumulation of 25 demerits.

PCC prohibits physical contact of any kind between members of the opposite sex. Students caught violating this prohibition are subject to being socialed. Students who have been socialed are not permitted to speak or interact with members of the opposite sex for a period ranging from one day to two weeks, depending on the severity of the offense.

Upon suspicion by the Dean's office that a student is in great violation of college policy that student may be subject to being shadowed. Individuals who are shadowed are assigned to a Floor Leader (a fellow student who is selected by PCC to provide leadership in the residents hall and to enforce college regulations) and must remain with the Floor Leader at all times. This includes being required to attend the Floor Leader's classes, and moving to the Floor Leader's room.[6] During the duration of being shadowed the student is prohibited from speaking with any student other than the Floor Leader. The purpose of shadowing is to provide the administration time to review the case against the student and to assess the seriousness of their infraction. Infractions that result in being shadowed are usually deemed to be severe enough to result in expulsion from PCC, but not all students who are shadowed are subsequently expelled from PCC.[citation needed]

The final form of punishment is expulsion or forced withdrawal from the college. Expulsion is often used in conjunction with shadowing, to provide a time frame for arrangements to be made for the student to leave campus and return home. In certain circumstances, students have been required to leave campus within the 24-hour period after expulsion without arrangements being made. Students who have been expelled or who withdraw from PCC on poor terms are often banned from returning to the campus for a cooling off period determined by the Administration. If seen on campus, PCC security will escort them off college property. The PCC security office keeps pictures and information on all former students and other individuals banned from the campus.[citation needed]

LOLOL. Oh my God.

"Making eye babies"

This is the most I've ever lol'd about something online. Jesus, I want to go to this school just for the hell of it.

An example of two future life-partners spending some time together at PCC:



I can't believe any parent would send their child to this, uh, college.

[kegkilla]

those two look dangerously close to bumping knees

[Tuco]

lolol what a loser college.

This is a result of Christian Colleges having members who act anything like good conservative blind Christians.

Though the very idea of these instutions makes cringe at the thought I still have a few honest questions about them..

I generally think of advanced academinc instutitions as places where conventional thought and wisdom are rejected and advanced upon, advanced upon, or questioned heavily. With that in mind is that what happens as these Christian colleges? Do they really break down and get into the question of god on a more rudimentray level? Do they go into detail about the various stories of the bible and inconsistencys and truths? Do they raise questions and seek to raise more? Find answers and seek to find more?

After 16 years of chuch i realized they weren't saying much different every year. In fact you generally don't learn much more after so many years. Is the chapel a place for constructive criticism and advancment or just reinforcment?

[GrobbeeTrull2.0]

Christian colleges produce missionaries, ministers and other such things. Theology classes are probably heavily skewed, but may generally include honest intellectual debate on the issue... but probably not here.

If you want that, you got to Yale/Harvard/Oxford Divinity.

[Neferata]

Hahaha "making eye babies." So awesome.

Every time I think religion can't become any more retarded than it already is it somehow finds a way to do just that. The way otherwise intelligent adults fall for this bullshit is simply amazing.

[Arbitrary]

It is nothing short of total denial of the nature of humanity.
