Athiests

"It is great that we live in a country where people are allowed to worship freely or, if they so choose, fully reject the notion of a supreme being." I totally agree with Sanders that every person in this world has a right to worship whomever they want if they so please. So why are the leaders of a religion based on treating others with love and respect, showing hatred and discrimination? They did nothing wrong and their reasoning of "intending to reach out to nonbelievers who may feel a little lonely or isolated" is righteous. If those with have are so shaken by the message but on this bus then maybe they should worry less about everyone else's faith and more about their own.

I myself am christian. I'm am not overly religious but i go to church and the important days like Christmas and Easter, yet this ad doesn't phase me in the least. i understand others have different beliefs as i do just they they should understand the same about me. Personally i think this could be viewed as a hate crime in a sense. Atheists believe in something different then the church so they want to attack them in a hope to get them to change their beliefs. Some ministers actually telling their followers to boycott these buses is absolutely ridiculous. The only thing worse then these corrupted ministers is those who actually follow such a silly command. Thinking of priests and nuns being the leaders of a hate crime is kinda funny because of their religious positions.

i had to go to religious education school for years and if nothings else the one thing i will always remember is WWJD. It stands for What Would Jesus Do and I'm 100% sure that Jesus wouldn't discriminate against those who don't believe in him and he especially wouldn't want his followers to do that. Sanders sums everything up perfectly when he says "Just remember that this is America, a land where people can believe whatever they want to believe and a place where even the nonbeliever has a right to bear witness to his or her nonbelief".

Common App

I applied to six colleges over the last few weeks but only one of them, University of Delaware, required the common application. Personally i did find the Common App quite easy to use and i especially loved that i could save my progress and come back to it whenever i wanted. It also showed you on the website when you completed a required section. But i did not go out of my way to use the Common App when i wasn't required to do so. I went on each individual website and looked up the application checklists and used the application provided. I feel like its part of the process of applying to college and it made it almost more special in a way to send each application with the school title in the top corner. Who knows maybe some schools will find i showed more interest in their school by applying specifically to their website instead of using Common App. But like i said i only applied to six schools so doing each online application wasn't that bad. i do suggest though that for those applying to many schools should use the Common App.
