Another one of my friends, when he converted around his freshman year, experienced quite a bit of hostility among his non-Christian dorm-mates. He even got back to his dorm one time to see the words "F--k Jesus" written on his door. Oh.....I thought you meant by the University administration. Of course, kids who are big Christian advocates get harassed and I'll tell you why. At a time when most kids are into partying, dating, exams and grades in that order, all the Christian kids want to do is talk about Christ and the rapture. Remember the guy I knew who stayed in his dorm the day he thought the rapture was coming. Well, every time I saw him on campus I would duck him. The guy was a non stop bible study. And the newly born are the worst.....its Jesus did this and Jesus did that, and Jesus will save your soul......just accept him as your savior. For three years, my sister and her boyfriend were into it.....trust me, we barely talked those three years. She was that obsessed. Ten, it's nothing personal.....your friends would have been treated the same way had they been obsessed with collecting butterflies or watching opera. ;-)
