The world, or rather Britain, has gone mad; truly truly mad.It seems that in a fit of insanity, Stirling University Students Association (SUSA) have succumbed to Nanny's indoctrination and voted to ban the Bible.
Why?
Simple, because they believe it could offend non-Christians.
SUSA will remove up to 6,000 copies of the Gideon Bible from more than 2,000 halls of residence rooms.
Their rationale being, that representing one faith was not in the spirit of equality.
Al Wilson, president of the SUSA, said:
"The one thing the students have come up with is that they do have a Gideon Bible in their rooms but they feel that's not really fair on those who practice other faiths."
Unless I have missed the point here, no one is being forced to read it; if you don't like the message, then don't open the book.
The worrying thing is that these students are meant to be the "intellectual elite" of this country!
Students always like to claim that they are open minded, and receptive, to new ideas; it is more often than not the case that they have the most closed minds, and ingrained prejudices.
The future looks very bleak indeed.
