Your thoughts
It is almost unbelievable how fast and how far this has progressed in the past few years alone. It seems to have snowballed since obama took office.
If Hillary becomes a president it will continue and accelerate. This leaves a wide spiritual void for islam to fill, for some people. Maybe many people.
Cultural Elite=Marxists!!!
So many people still think their children HAVE to go to college or they’ll be paupers their whole lives, and so they send them into the lion’s dens. I don’t know, I have a friend who’s daughter became a Christian at Harvard but that’s certainly not the norm. My husband is a self made rich guy who barely graduated high school so he doesn’t promote college. I have a degree that didn’t bring me any particular skill, so there you have it.
A bright young women from our church recently graduated from Harvard’s School of Divinity. Her faith and ideals seem in tact. Probably not the same school as founded by John Harvard, but she is an encouraging sign for the future.
That’s the problem with the vile among us. They always toss in some decent phrases to convince folks they extremely reasoned.
This guy is something the Left professes to be against 1000%. He does not view others equally. He is prejudiced.
A Leftist can’t fathom that someone else might have a different lifestyle unless it’s perverted and vile.
Every student who graduated in the late 1600s and through the 1700s (and actually until about 1850) obtained a degree in philosophy where the capstone of their education was a thorough knowledge of moral philosophy based on the study of virtuous human nature. The colonials believed that it was only with that kind of study could a man become a good judge or a good preacher.
If a graduate wanted to specialize in law, religion, science or what ever they would go on for further study in those specific areas. But everyone was first trained in human virtue.
One of the direct results of this specific training was the fact that every man sitting at the table in Philadelphia and hammered out our Constitution had the same moral philosophy.
Professors at Princeton who can no longer tolerate Christians just show how much our educational establishments have strayed from their original mission.
And it is no wonder that most of these professors support a non-Christian who hates Christians.
This article, to me, ties in with today’s Gospel reading, Msgr Popes’ homily — http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-religion/3208672/posts — and my own minister’s sermon:
Gospel Mt 21:28-32
Jesus said to the chief priests and elders of the people:
“What is your opinion?
A man had two sons.
He came to the first and said,
‘Son, go out and work in the vineyard today.’
He said in reply, ‘I will not, ‘
but afterwards changed his mind and went.
The man came to the other son and gave the same order.
He said in reply, ‘Yes, sir, ‘but did not go.
Which of the two did his father’s will?”
They answered, “The first.”
Jesus said to them, “Amen, I say to you,
tax collectors and prostitutes
are entering the kingdom of God before you.
When John came to you in the way of righteousness,
you did not believe him;
but tax collectors and prostitutes did.
Yet even when you saw that,
you did not later change your minds and believe him.”
Democrats would be loading Christians into cattle cars today if they had the power to do it.
“Christians, and those rejecting the me-generation liberal dogma of ‘if it feels good do it,’ are no longer tolerable by the intellectual and cultural elite,” says George, 59, director of the James Madison program at Princeton University.
“Moreover, it makes me feel just swell to support our friends in the religion of peace who are working hard to overcome the oppression of the Zionists and Hindus to bring the whole world to peace, at last. I so applaud them in their strenuous efforts.
“Here in America, we liberal, intellectual, and cultural elite will do our part to end the terrible oppression of Christianity. A world without the restrictive Christian oriented, so called values will be a welcome thing indeed.”
They’ve “tolerated” us in the past?
News to me.
