As I said, some Christians in this country (Christian evangelicals included) are as asinine as can be when they start viewing themselves as liberals and conservatives (a economic label) in the face of attacks against the Christian faith overseas. I want to clarify that I am referring to Christians as all who are followers of Christ to include such denominations as Catholics, Protestants, orthodox, Maronites etc. etc.

Here is the problem in a nutshell. Evolution is as much a fact as the world being round. Yet most evangelical Christians do not believe in evolution. So they get to college and they tell the professor the world is not round it is flat. What is the professor to think of them? >> Tenured bigots Back-to-school: It is a statistical reality that most faculty members don’t like evangelicals, and they aren't ashamed to admit it \| Mark Bergin David French has known for years that college campuses are bastions of anti-evangelical bias. He knew it when he served on the admissions committee at Cornell Law School and watched his colleagues ridicule evangelical applicants as "Bible thumpers" or members of the "God squad." He knew it during his tenure with an education watchdog organization that routinely challenged university speech codes bent on silencing evangelical viewpoints. He knew it when he shifted into his current role as director of the Alliance Defense Fund's Center for Academic Freedom, a position from which he's filed numerous lawsuits on behalf of victimized evangelical students.<<
