Jamie 1-0 University Christian Union
I'm not a fan of godbotherers, especially the evangelical ones. Saying that, the Bible does advocate wanking. Seriously. Psalms 16:11 says "In your right hand there are pleasures forever".

So when a friend moved in with her boyfriend and got booted out by the CU who accused her of a lack of judgement because her boyfriend is an immoral heathen so and so I went ballistic and demanded a hearing of the University's Student Union executive.

Each side put their argument forward to the executive. I went after the godbotherers.

Wearing my Black Sabbath long sleeved shirt I went Jamie 3:16 (to quote Jack Regan "I'll kick your arse up to your shoulderblades") on the CU arguing a) that the CU hadn't even met the guy before casting wrong judgement on him and b) this completely and lubelessly buttfucks the "equality for all" policy the SU had. In light of this the CU must be suspended from the SU until they have lifted their ban on my friend, rewritten their constitution in line with the equality for all policy and proven themselves able to work in line with the SU regulations.

The decision was a no-brainer. The CU were suspended with immediate effect. They were stunned and could not believe the decision. They left saying that they "would pray about this".

Two days later an apology was forthcoming to my friend but it took quite a while longer for the rewrite to happen.

One of the executive was heard in the bar afterwards saying "What balls wearing that top and taking on the CU!"

Well, I am the guy who used to ask the CU guitarists who sang little songs outside Rock Society meetings if they'd play "Angel Of Death" or "South Of Heaven" for us when the jukebox was broken...

nice
Did they get back in again afterwards?
Warwick CU were banned from the SU after they refused equality for homosexuals or similar.
Good for standing by their bigotry, but they've not joined the SU since.
I think they like being on the outside.

Warwick CU...
...are a pain in the hole. I'm at uni there at the moment, and they kicked up a hell of a fuss when Warwick Atheists won Best New Society last year. Bastards ended up getting them stripped of the award.

If memory serves
My friend was allowed back in to the CU but the CU didn't get their rewrite done for the rest of the term. I made a point of writing to the Clubs & Societies office at the start of every academic year for a few years thereafter pointing out that the CU are a dodgy bunch and should be regularly checked.

I got the Islamic society banned from using the SU minibus for a whole academic year too. That said, they weren't too thrilled to hear that the Rock Music society had indulged in a huge pork pie binge on the way back from a damn fine Helloween concert!

Sabbath
Funny how Black Sabbath upset Christians; the name is from a film, and many of the lyrics are of a Christian leaning. Still, it's wahts on the surface that counts eh?
