From the middle of the article:

How did you arrive at your interpretations? How do you know you are right? Do you believe in God?

These basic critical thinking questions were sent by a pastor to the author in response to an article she wrote. Despite being a tenured professor that espouses critical thinking as a key academic skill, these three questions angered her yet they caused her to open up to the possibility of not having all the answers.

You can count on the fingers of one hand the number of tenured professors who even know critical thinking exists, let alone what it is and how to use it.

Critical thinking is being removed from the curriculum of government schools. Critical thinkers tend to NOT be go along to get along type people. And we can't have that!
