No, but logic helps.

“Why do you think that I disagreed with elementary, high school, and university educators while I attended? I was one of the “offended” that Christ was talking about when he made reference to that millstone.”

Again, that makes no sense. Why would someone - anyone - who was offended by liberalism choose a liberal university after being offended in liberal elementary and high schools? At that point would not that person be placing the millstone around his own neck?

“Oh...Remember...One of the blazing indicators of a cult is that if you don’t adhere to its principles ( or..Gasp!..) leave, your soul is lost.”

But a person who says he is offended by liberalism and who chooses to attend yet another liberal school would be violating his own principles would he not? Wouldn’t he be choosing to be lost at that point? When do you think that person becomes accountable for his actions? When does he become culpable? No matter how horrible the liberalism being taught to him, if that man chooses to pay good money to support it, and then bad mouths it afterward as if he was involuntarily imposed upon, what does that say about him and his principles? Wouldn’t that be a terrible hypocrisy?

One of the main characteristics of childhood and young adulthood is lack of discernment. It is only as an adult, with the experience and judgment that comes with adulthood, that a person realizes that they have been seriously offended.
