A Sea Of Red

Why don't we move the discussion about Liberty's politics in the NCAA realignment thread over here?

first comment!

true or false?
conservative politics and stupid statements by far the biggest reason why people don't like liberty.

I'd say that's a big part of it.

False, but I'll also add I couldn't care less if people hate Liberty because it's conservative.

I'm with Adam...may not be the only reason, but its a major part of it.

We will always have a certain stigma about us if we stay true to what we are as a school. We can't be ashamed of that, but if we toned down the political crap and stopped siding with certain political parties and stopped supporting certain extremist groups like the Liberty Counsel then maybe we could at least get rid of needless problems.

Guys, I hate to break it to you, but most of what Liberty does only makes local headlines, if that. Very rarely do comments made by the school make it past this message board and the N&A. We're all right in it, so we feel the impact, but most of the country knows very little about us. You could count on one hand the number of comments or actions by people connected to the school that caused any real waves. And even some of those were taken wildly out of context.

WHAAAAT?

this midwest guy here's poo about liberty except on here. i get newsletters i think but i throw them away.

Why would other schools not like us? Were we not PC with the handling of Asa Chapman's case?

I might be ignorant on this topic, but what makes the liberty counsel an extremist group?

A class taught by Liberty Counsel encourages students to intentionally break the law if the law is not Biblical Law. Not only is that dangerous, but malicious and should be a good enough reason for LU to do everything it can to separate itself from that group.

How about the 7th Day Adventist roots the group brings to LU that support the idea that homosexuals should be stoned to death? Yes, I was taught this.

Actually, we will go one step further. If that isn't enough for the school to do away with the hate group, what about a RICO lawsuit being filed against the school for actions of the chairman of LC?

Someone actually told you to stone people to death?

Man that would take a lot of pot!

Please explain your stoning homosexuals to death comment.

He doesn't like Mat Staver.

Neither do I but I really don't care either. His opinions are his opinions. And I also never remember him saying that.

He said it was a group that was brought to LU that said that. I'm guessing, they didn't really mean that and dickens misinterpreted what they were saying, as I don't think any Christian person would actually believe that.

Perhaps he meant a "light stoning" :\
