Interesting reading.....could be in Politics or Religion......
Six of one, half a dozen of the other.....
The Bible College That Leads to the White House
These are some of the funnier quotes by the students:
"The mindset of most students is of denial of reality. They want to stay in their own, self-centered world for as long as possible."
and
"A lot of what they teach in public schools is not based in reality. I am a believer in creation," he says. Did that belief lead to a conflict with his pursuit of science? "None whatsoever. I have discussed this and spoken to many scientists and I found that there is no contradiction."
Excuse me???????
Edited to add those silly quotes

Mistakes are a part of being human. Appreciate your mistakes for what they are: precious life lessons that can only be learned the hard way. Unless it's a fatal mistake, which, at least, others can learn from.

I find the idea of a college designed to churn out unquestioning, bible-waving, sexually repressed, glassy-eyed Republicans more than a little frightening.
Geez. These kids actually SIGN UP to have their web surfing monitored. Hell, I'd be kicked out of school in a DAY with the sites I visit.  |

| The description of the campus strikes me as a bit creepy. Makes me want to think of the movie, 'The Stepford Wives'. Makes one wonder, are the children taking their conformity pills? |
...no one has ever found a 4.5 billion year old stone artifact (at the right geological stratum) with the words "Made by God."

They (Women Marines) don't have a nickname, and they don't need one. They get their basic training in a Marine atmosphere, at a Marine Post. They inherit the traditions of the Marines. They are Marines.
