USC professors blog, dangerous ground?

Professors are supposed to walk on shaky ground...they are saddled with the responsibility of attempting to challenge feeble young minds, into thinking for themselves...something no doubt lost on the plastic people at USC...buying their degrees just, as it turns out, like they bought their national championship, (and runner up) football teams...

You are probably right, though, this prof would probably be WAY better suited for someplace like Berkley, or Ann Arbor, where people more concerned with expanding their minds, than expanding their 'networks'...

It's not really a generalization if it accurately reflects what a group is doing. make no doubt, there is a large-scale movement afoot by people who, under the guise of Christianity, seek to oppress already-marginalized groups and force *their* morality on them.

Sure, it's not representative of every Christian, but it is representative of a very large group of neo-cons who call themselves Christians.

I appreciate it, my brother. But ya know, not gonna happen. Well, I guess it will. Everybody gets old. I'm already slower. I guess prayer does work. Damn you!

Where can I get a "WWGCD?" t-shirt?

I think you can safely call *that* a generalization...

I lived on her side of the logical and rhetorical divide for decades. I came to believe that what she claims was true.

Then I started to deconstruct my position. And what would you know, the claims turned out to be false! Imagine my surprise.

I tell you what, I challenge her to put together a team to reasonably defend this statement: hatred passing as spirituality propagated in the Bible and Christianity as an institution. I'll put together a team to refute it. We'll lay the debate out before all BTrs. I'm confident that at the end, her position will be seen for what it is, mere political fluff.

LOL... just down south. (that includes South Philly) 

First of all, it's a blog.

But obviously people have the righ to practice their religion. What irks me is how people bastardize religion the way that they do. Seriously, does anyone really believe that this woman suing to bash gays is following the example of Jesus? Didn't Jesus say judge not lest ye be judged?

These so-called Christians that preach hate in the name of evangilism are no better than radical Islamists that use the Koran to justify killing infidels.

Say this woman was a white supremecist, convinced the Bible preached that blacks were the devil. Say she sued a University to use the word "n*gger" at will, because the university's policies infringed upon her freedom to practice her religion.

Who would be supporting her?

Funny story: My family was very areligious. I wasn't baptized until I was an adult and had moved out of the house. So it our last name was pretty ironic. My mom, always the jokester, liked to make dinner reservations and then, upon entering the restaurant, announce to the hostess that "the Christians are here."

More than once, the hostess said she didn't want any of our literature.

a)it's a blog. free speech is still a guarantee in this country, even in academia, even if it offends, and yes, even if it is hateful.

b) my sense is that "those crafty jesus tyes" refers to a certain very vocal segment of the Christian poulation who tend to be rather hateful.  I consider myself a rather crafty Jesus type, but I don't think she is referring to me.

c) Tyrant, I dare you, just once, to post something about triathlons. 

triple dog dare...

Doesn't he post enough already about subjects he knows nothing about?
