interesting. The vote has nothing to do with the curriculum, the level of education or anything of the sort. It has to do with the value system of the school as it embraces morality and is opposed to homosexual sex.

The war on Christianity from the far left continues

 

It's in Canada, not the United States.

 

ok, and?

we've seen businesses in this country targeted for having morals and values. Now we see a school undergoing the same assault

 

Why is it a war? Perhaps some may feel its a war against the left by Christianity?

 

They are different countries. That is why they have different names and put tomato juice in their beer. Canada is in Canada and the United States is the Sacred Heartland. Maybe it's the Canuckian version of the American war on Islamic law (Sharia) being waged in so many patriotic red states. Or maybe they just don't like lawyers.

 

Extremist oppressive loons will always find themselves "under attack" in a free society.

 

Well you know what they say about history and war.

He who wins the war, gets to tell his-story

 

And hers of course...... Sorry ladies

 

Interesting thought though. I wonder what the science department would look like at a "Christian" university.

 

A very wise saying no doubt; just like there are two things which divide men; religion and politics. No getting around it either way I guess. He who wins the war generally gets the spoils of victory as well.

 

It's illogical and immoral to base our laws and policies on an ancient text. I support not accrediting them.

 

I believe the law school at Pat Robertson's university requires people to have a letter from the clergy vouching for their good christian character--a back door way to do the same thing I think.

 

Is it really Christianity or just certain people in the Church? Is it really morality or just personal opinion masquerading as universal morality?

I believe it is Christian's who say that God promotes love and free will. Compassion, forgiveness, and understanding and to judge not. And yet to ban same-sex marriage is a denial of free will, a lack of understanding and compassion. This seems to go against Christian values, itself, as well as societies. If Christian society cannot embrace society with equality, then why should society respect their existence any more?

 

Unfortunately, in the legal sense of it, being that it's a private function, so long as they meet the educational requirements, they can be accredited.

I wish it were not so, though.

 

So it's okay for Christians to come up with exclusion policies based on their moral beliefs, but it's not okay for other people to come up with exclusion policies based on their own moral beliefs? Sounds a bit hypocritical.

I say what's good for the goose is good for the gander.

 

Don't you think the "value system" of the University is relevant? If it wasn't important, why would they have the rule in the first place?

It isn't a war on Christianity, it's a war on discrimination. If it were a secular University with the same rules, it would still be problematic while if it were a Christian University without the rule it wouldn't be an issue at all (indeed, I'm sure there are other Christian institutions running just fine).

It's not really about homosexuality either, beyond the University making it about that. An University that banned it's staff and students from, say, eating meat, having children or going to Church would (and should) face similar challenges.

 

Joe, let's be honest here. The war on Christianity has taken on a fever pitch since the 3.6% who engage in deviant sex have been given a free pass by the media and leftists.

 

Seems to me a school that exists to train lawyers requiring future lawyers to sign on oath to uphold an Unconstitutional principal deserves to lose their accreditation.

 

Make no mistake, the left are coming for the Christians and they will not rest until every last one of them has been eliminated. Christians are a threat to their vision of what the world will be.

 

Exactly.

 

And this way of thinking is why you can not be a liberal and a Christian at the same time.

It is impossible, so anyone claiming to be both is actually lying about one or the other.

 

*L* And don't forget about Christmas. Its destruction is almost complete!

 

I don't get that either. Back when I subscribed to Christianity, I was very intolerant of other people's lifestyles.

I guess liberal Christians are content to believe in Yahweh and Jesus in a slightly less biblical way, and that's something I wasn't willing to tolerate back in the day. Either the bible would stand or the faith would fall.

And for me, the faith finally did fall, because the bible does not actually stand up to scrutiny and skeptical inquiry. At least, not as the kind of work Christians want to make it out to be.

 

I'm neither a liberal nor a christian.
