Current Students: religion and politics

Colleges and Universities A-Z Cornell University

<p>Okay, so I have a few questions for current students at cornell invovling the main views or popular views on politics and religion. (no bashing anything pls)</p>

<p>First off, main religious views:
Christian, Muslim, atheistic, Agnostic, etc. What do most people follow and is there much descrimination (not racial, religious)?</p>

<p>Second, religion and politics:
Are there many fundamentalists, fanatatics, extremists? Or is everyone pretty much lax about forcing religion on others?</p>

<p>Straight politics:
Democrats and liberals or republicans and conservatives? (I know that is not the best way to place people, and if you would like to elaborate to be more fair, please do.)</p>

<p>If there is anything else I may want to know in these areas, lay it on me.</p>

<p>bump: i'd really like to get the view on this.....</p>

<p>I don't want to end up in a second kansas if i get in.</p>

<p>there are a lot of religious groups in cornell. i think it's pretty balanced between liberals and conservatives. quite a lot of young people are liberal. but again, cornell is upstate new york. i believe they just had a debate in cornell concerning abortion. cornell's not like oberlin. it's very well-rounded.</p>

<p>and no one's forcing you on religion.</p>

<p>look at the alumni who went to cornell.</p>

<p>you have janet reno, who's very liberal</p>

<p>and ann coulter, who's very conservative</p>

<p>I know the YDS has an Ithaca chapter, but I don't know if it is in Cornell or Ithaca College...</p>

<p>Interesting. Well that sounds pretty good to me. And Ann Coulter. LOL. ahhh. </p>

<p>Thanks for not staring at my adam's apple!</p>

<p>haha, I have this great pic of Ann Coulter's adam's apple (I'm convinced she's a man).</p>

<p>Might I also get in that Bill Maher and Keith Olbermann are Cornell grads. Watch Countdown with Keith Olbermann weeknights at 8PM and midnight on MSNBC. Its a great show.</p>

<p>Ann Coulter founded the Cornell Review, and was a member of Delta Gamma :)</p>

<p>Coulter is a man.</p>

<p>"Christian, Muslim, atheistic, Agnostic, etc. What do most people follow and is there much descrimination (not racial, religious)?"</p>

<p>What about Judaism? do you find it to be "etc"?</p>

11

<p>Here we go again...another FIGHT!!</p>

12

<p>no, i just pulled the first four words that came to mind... I usuallly would have written Judeo-christian, but was pressed for time. Anyways the only religion not considered in there is scientology because it is a huge load of steaming cr@p on a plate!</p>

13

<p>Scientology isn't a religion, it's a scam</p>

14

<p>I agree. lol. But i wouldn't say that... they probably have someone watching us and ready to sue us. Have you seen the S. Park episode w/ tom cruise and john trovolta in the closet, it is about scientology.</p>

15

<p>Of course I've seen it. I watch alot of southpark up at school. But yeah, that stuff in the episode is true, I researched scientology when I was in highschool. Check out <a href="http://www.xenu.net%5B/url%5D"&gt;www.xenu.net&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>Thanks, but I already know it all. I told dr. girman @ SSU about what they beleive and he didnt' bleive me so I searched for a ton of info... I love telling people about how crazy it is.</p>
