Exactly. I see this all the time at my school. I go to a private Christian college and it seems to draw some very close-minded and conservative borderline fundamentalist folks. Which is fine, people can believe what they want. But when they start discriminating against others and act like they are a cut above the rest, etc., I take offense.
