[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Liberty is super conservative, right-ring cultish christianity.

I went to Wheaton 20 years ago and my friends and I are all democrats (for what it's worth).  None of us applied to to Liberty or even considered it. 
In the world of christian colleges, places like Liberty and Wheaton are night and day. 
At Wheaton we were actively encouraged to think critically, question our faith, learn about other religions, etc.  
We took 3 bible classes during our 4 years there (Old Testament history, New testament history and one theology class) but other than that, religion didn't infiltrate our classes.  They were 
as secular as they are at any institution.

I'm not sure if Wheaton can be called a "Christian" college. I looked into it(I was told that it's a serious Christian college with top notch academics) Unfortunately , Wheatons swerved   to the Left in the last few decades. I looked over their list of clubs, and they have a Feminist Club on campus. Feminism and orthodox Christianity are not compatible. Then I see an article in  Christianity Today after the election. The article said that 43% of Wheaton students supported Hillary Clinton. This is unacceptable for a Christian college. Hillary is  pro-choice, pro-gay, a radical Feminist, and allied with BLM. I can understand a Christian not voting for Trump, but to vote for HRC is an act of apostasy( again, from an orthodox Christian standpoint) Wheaton surely has some great professors and students, but it's not a serious Christian college. I'd much rather attend a secular college than a college that claims to be Christian and isn't. However, Wheaton did do the right thing when they fired Larycia Hawkins. There are no truly Christian colleges in America today. All of them have been influenced by Leftism/Modernism to one degree or another. The only Christian college I applied to is Grove City. I'm always amused when Liberals on DCUM bring up "critical thinking" as if they are the only ones who can think critically. I do believe that there are many people who call themselves Christian who don't think critically. There are also plenty of Liberals/Atheists who don't think critically. Everyone has presuppositions, so no one is ever completely unbiased. There are plenty of great orthodox Christian scholars. [/quote]
