wtf i thought nus was secular

Me: wth
so did I

Someone: i dunno man

Me: can I dedicate Bukit Timah Campus to Cthulhu?
want to come to my ceremony?


A: ­is this some BTC branch of VCF or something
­
Me: sounds like an official dedication
wth


B: that's very presumptuous
­it's my campus too. what if i don't want it to be dedicated in 'His' name
­wth is a corporate prayer

....
­the way they phrase these events always gets my goat


C: ...
­i can understand campus crusade or the catholics having their own mass... but they have a dedication team...
­they take 1 HOUR to pray????

maybe they are praying things won't fall apart or something. or that now that law is isolated, a targeted terrorist attack. hehehe

hmm. if they dedicate it, then it's like they're asking for God's special blessing on it, no? but doesn't God already take care of everything... why need extra


D: this is just a group of christian studetns and profs
law club disseminates catholic and muslim groups also

who says the muslims and catholics and buddhist groups havent dedicated the campus
­they do
­
Me: yes
I am against that all

D: in any case when we mean dedicating a campus, it's not like we're saying this campus is for christians and christians only

Me: no
but it's still presumptuous


E: go where to complain ah? i am a wiccan and feel that they are infringing on my right to free religion

Me: dedicate it to the Goddess!

E: i can find the necronomicon
maybe inside can find cthulu's summoning ritual ah
