Is it just me or does this read like a reddit post ripped from r/atheism?

#NotAnAtheist #StillAChristian

A contradiction of terms. Either that, or it is a book of blank pages. )

Better to be a Progressive Christian book with a few pages than an Atheistic Capitalist book featuring the lengthy ravings of mad authoritarians seeking their own selfish interests (Ayn Rand comes to mind).

Like Marxism, it always claims to be scientific--and always claims to be morally superior.

I think you meant Capitalism and Communism.

Thomas Sowell will disagree and he was actually a Marxist in his younger years when he thought he "knew it all."

I just saw that David Platt was the guest for convo today and it just kind of made me laugh. Are they purposely trolling Jerry at this point? Regardless, I found it funny.

Oh my gosh, you're right! I swear that can't be a coincidence. Like another way of LU saying... "yea, we're going to start retracting everything this guy did/said/touched"

Poliakoff, the president of ACTA, said recent years’ reports of self-dealing under Falwell raise questions about trustees’ oversight: “All the rumors that come out from Liberty suggest that kind of transparent, careful analysis of what’s in the best interest of the school has not been done before.” He said the board should have demanded more transparency: “Liberty made a desperate mistake in vesting pretty much everything in its one leader.”

And right there is why this independent investigation was so crucial to LU's future. Those that sat back and gave Jerry a blank check need to be removed from power immediately.

If everything goes as planned, I will visit campus tomorrow.

Just a heads up this is still a thing. I'm not sure if you fall into one of the mentioned groups or how strict they are enforcing it but over the summer I know several were issued summons for trespassing. From LUPD Facebook page earlier this afternoon:

ATTN: Liberty University is still a closed campus to anyone who is not student, faculty, staff, potential students, or their families. We want to keep everyone safe from unnecessary exposure to COVID-19. We know that this school year looks very different from what it has been in the past, but we need your help to stop the spread and keep all of our Liberty Flames safe! If you know or see any people who are trespassing on campus, please call our department at (434)-592-7641. Thank you.

That World article is exceptionally well researched.

[thepostman]

So it is accurate? If so I learned a thing or two from it.

[ballcoach15]

With Liberty being a private school, much of that article is not a big deal, in my opinion.

What parts would be a big deal if LU was Public?

[ballcoach15]

I am not a real estate lawyer.

[Yacht Rock]

Private educational non-profit organizations and privately owned businesses are very very very different things.

Using a non-profit entity’s business to line your (or your friend’s and family’s) pockets outside of your established compensation is a big deal if those deals don’t have independent oversight.

That is rather hilarious. It was because I investigated my own axioms that I am no longer a conservative. That is actually how it works for most people who leave faux fundamentalism. Most "fundamentalist" doctrines of today are actually quite modern interpretations that are full of contradictions and result in great harm.

Btw, I studied History and Business at LU.

[paradox]

I would never try to defend fundamentalism. I've never embraced it myself. And I completely understand that you need to find your own way as a reflective person.

A hyper-fundamentalist thinks that he can know everything from the Bible. A hyper-progressive thinks that the established academic analysis yields the knowledge that he's after. Neither perspective is honest or realistic.

My advice would be to avoid these excesses.

[CinciFlame]

This book has changed my thinking on many of these areas. It's in my top 5 of all time. Gentle and Lowly: The Heart of Christ for Sinners and Sufferers. Can't recommend it enough.

Liberty University has hired an outside firm to investigate all aspects of Falwell’s tenure as president. It’s a good start. The school also should dismiss the board that acted like a rubber stamp for Falwell, ignoring his behavior over many years. It should also stop inviting politicians to speak at commencement and convocation. These are among the steps that will restore credibility to a very good university with a potentially bright future.

This. We have got to move away from the vision Jerry Jr had for us to become Turning Point University and focus on our religious pursuit to train Champions for Christ. Divisive politics do nothing but get in the way and sidetrack the true mission.

Truth

Liberty University is faced with an opportunity. It needs to bring in someone who has not only impeccable academic credentials, but also consistently practices his or her faith; someone who eschews keeping company with high and mighty politicians, preferring the company of the meek and lowly; someone who seeks approval from God more than the approval of political leaders.
.....................
The university’s motto has been “Where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is Liberty.” (2 Corinthians 3:17 NASB). It’s time to invite that Spirit to return.

[TH Spangler]

I agree. Turn the school back over to Thomas Road BAPTIST Church. Should have never split.

Right ballcoach?
