Don't Send Your Kids to This Christian College
Creative Minority Report ^ | 10-8-10 | Matt Archbold

Posted on 10/08/2010 7:40:20 AM PDT by marcbold

This is pretty awful if it is what it seems to be. The video says it's part of a freshman orientation performance for students of Gustavus Adolphus College in Minnesota, a Lutheran college. Honestly, it looks like the inmates have taken over the asylum.

You think parents know this is what they're getting for $40,000 a year? No. But that's the point. I guarantee that most parents have no idea they're dropping their kids off to see something like this, to become a part of something like this.

Christian higher education is nearly extinct in this country with a few notable exceptions.

I wonder if there are similar things going on at Catholic colleges all over the country as well.

Warning: Offensive language alert...

Needs to go viral. The problem is the muzzies see stuff like this and get the wrong message. They think we are all weak, like this.....

It’s an ELCA school, i.e., it’s not really Lutheran, it’s just a wacked-out liberal secular school.

I have been a long time student at Liberty University and proud to say so. Christian American values are alive and well.

My “Baptist” college, William Jewell in Liberty, MO, has fallen so far that Missouri Southern Baptist voted sever ties and defund them. I get calls every once and a while asking for $, I tell them that if I was to support a college I'd support a Christian College.

The ELCA should be sued for their bait-and-switch scam because they are not Lutheran. However, don’t wake up their lethargic membership who may find this fact mildly disturbing.

copied this comment off the website. I found it interesting...

“Anonymous said...
When Islamic/Sharia law is instituted, these people will run back in the closet as quickly as they came out. Sharia law will end their life. Islam has the spine to end this crazy kind of thinking, so these liberal youth have helped put an end to their ridiculous ways against Alah.

Christianity has failed the United States of America.”

Here is an example of the people they invite to lecture at their “college”:

Just another nutcase working for a nonprofit that should not exist. We need to radically change the nonrofit corporation laws in America. If you feed, clothe or house someone you should be tax exempt. Other than that you are a business and should pay taxes!

These twits are the bait, the muzzies are biting.

My daughter attends College of the Ozarks. EVERY student is on a work scholarship that pays tuition, students pay their room and board. Listed as one of the most conservative colleges. In the parent speech the dean said that the school was listed as one of the top least friendly LGBT campuses, “And we intend to keep it that way”. Speaking of obama he said, “An educated man without values is dangerous.” Told my 7th grade son to apply to get on the waiting list.

I hear Harding University is still pretty conservative. This was the school that produced the cartoon “Make Mine Freedom” back in 1948.

This first video ends with one ‘actor’ saying:
“...my atheism is my most important characteristic.”

Yeah, that’s what I want out of my Christian education dollars... gay indoctrination crap and a celebration of atheism!

Yup, with a smattering of ELCAspeak thrown into the mix:

Augsburg Chapel is: A worship time where we focus on the Triune God - Creator, Redeemer, Sustainer.

Words you'll almost never hear at Augsburg: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

Name you'll search for in vain on the Augsburg website: Jesus.
