The truth is that fundamentalist Christianity supports an unhealthy image of the body and of rape. They view the body as taboo and thus encourage rape and victim blaming. Colleges like this are essentially only there becuase their backwards owners never leared the lesson from Deliverance.
....what?

The body is celebrated in Christianity; most normal Christians (and PCC is, by my standards, not a fundamentalist college) celebrate human sexuality as something pure, designed by God (for people of all sexual orientations, by the way) for married couples that want to physically express their love and bring pleasure to one another, or to procreate. The Bible doesn’t say “your penis will shrivel up and a bird will lay eggs in your stomach” if you commit a sexual sin. It is forgiven, like all other sins, if you seek forgiveness.

Once you tresspass boundries, most fundamentalists think that you are forever sinned. Even married couples aren't allowed leniency. It is a savage religion that punishes pleasure.
Christian fundies=PCC/regular Christians?
Of course not; saying that would be ridiculous.
Well, you said it.

I meant fundamentalist christianity when I said religion, but the way that was phrased did lead to a reasonable misconstronation of what I said.
To add to that, many people within religions consider some sects to be not those religion. For example, many Christians consider Mormons seperate and many Jews I know consider Othodox Jews to be crypto Muslims. There is a very fluid definition of religion.

Should we really judge the position of the vast majority of Christians towards sexual abuse--including most fundamentalists by far--based on some whackadoodle institution that prohibits co-ed elevators??

No. We neither said than fundamentalists were a vast majority of Christians. I'm a Christian, but I have nothing in common with them.
