Rand Paul's college group mocked Christians

[RamboLiberal]

Rand Paul's Kentucky Senate campaign drew a round of startled media attention this summer, after GQ reported that he'd played hair-raising pranks as an undergraduate at Baylor University in the early 1980s.

Issues of the newsletter published by Paul's secret society, the NoZe Brotherhood, during his time at Baylor reveal a more specific political problem for the Kentucky Republican: The group's work often had a specifically anti-Christian tone, as it made fun of the Baptist college's faith-based orientation.

-----


The NoZe Brotherhood, as the group was called, was formally banned by Baylor two years before Paul arrived on the grounds of "sacrilege," the university president said at the time. "They had 'made fun of not only the Baptist religion, but Christianity and Christ,' " President Herbert Reynolds told the student newspaper, The Lariat.

The group hardly denied the charge. One "brother" told a reporter from the Lariat during Paul's sophomore year that the group was raising awareness of an abundance of both "hot air" and "dangerous and even toxic levels of Christian atmosphere on campus."

5. Actually in my day they prayed to ELMO the god who lives in Elm Mott Texas

I was at Baylor three or four years ahead of Rand Paul and knew some Noze Brothers. Back then, the Noze prayed to Elmo, a god who lived in Elm Mott (a town near Waco). The NOZE did hate baptists and did their best to poke fun.

The Noze were kicked off of campus for publishing a fake edition of the school newspaper where they claimed that Homecoming was canceled due to a dispute at the Southern Baptist Convention about whether baptists could have oral sex. This was oral sex only among married people and the SBC was having issues with the concept.

2. I don't think you'd find much disagreement here at DU about mocking Christians.

You'd probably get a lot of Recs and make it to the Front Page for doing it though.

6. It matters not what he believed in years ago

people change their views all the time, it shows growth

However, he has no compassion inside of himself and his ideas
are so destructive and evil he needs to be brought down to his knees.
