Don't shoot the mediator!

On Tuesday evenings, I have a two-and-a-half hour long Anthropology course, in which certain people often get angry and rant. I feel terrible for our eighty-year-old professor. True, he's a little old-school about it, but he's fantastically politically correct and feminist-oriented for a man of his generation. Apparently, that's not enough for some people in the lecture. I often feel the need to throw some water on the fire in those discussions when people take his generalizations (that he acknowledges as generalizations) and blow them out of proportion and spout views that might elsewhere be radical and unheard of but are distinctly NOT SO on this campus.

On a different note, I had a couple odd moments with the prospie that I hosted a couple of nights ago due to the fact that I have a Bible on my bookshelf.

Can't I own a Bible without people assuming I'm Christian? Can't I read a few passages now and then without people thinking that that means that I support every twisted view that has come out of the Bible?

Can't we just try and realize that the Bible, the Christian Church, and the Christian faith are three completely separate things?

It'd be much appreciated.
