About the CCC

Well, no, they've never actually enacted violence as a tactic. But, I mean, the KKK hasn't for awhile either.

Anyway, I've always thought of them as worse in a way because they're insidious - they don't wear the white masks, they wear fake smiles that belie the intolerance and perverted faux-benevolence of their creed.

I can't believe that Tim, who was hear for even more of it, can ignore the Jew Boxes - at least, as they were called. This was back in the beginning of Freshman year for us '03s, when they took that survey at a table in the Hop - tell us your religion and we'll give you chocolate or the like. They did it the next year as well, I think. In any case, our year, they compiled a list of all the people who didn't put Christian, and, if I rememember, Meredith, for putting Mormon. Then, a bit later, these nice little boxes came to everyone's door, attached to a zealout or two, proclaiming the Word. Thing is, by everyone, of course, I mean only the Jews, the Muslims, the Mormon. They targeted non-Christians and knocked on their doors. It'd be like if the Review found a DFP list and started knocking. They just believe in a worldview that protects their shallow and petty existence - the CCC people are different - they believe that everyone else is doomed, and that they will stay thus until they change their way of thing - to the CCC way.

See, it's one thing to go in with swords and armor, clanging around about what you believe. But a crusade of thought, against other people's beliefs and ideals, this is in some ways even worse.
