His first statement on the first day of class was that God had no place in that classroom and we should leave Him at the door. Guess that he and Dr. Folkerts had some different views! I have no problem with the baptisms at the athletic complex. Maybe the players asked to be baptized there? If they did, should they be told no? When were you at AU? I had a comparative anatomy professor who I thought was named Dr. Dobie who used to smoke in the classroom. I was at AU from 1981-1986. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AUIH1 1,515 Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 A quote from Gandhi that I agree with: “I like your Christ, I do not like your Christians. Your Christians are so unlike your Christ.” Truer words have never been spoken (I wonder what he would say about Muslims?). But God gave us all free will and for any one of us to be Christ-like is an unattainable goal. We all have our biases, ingrained views and perspectives. I have them all (heck, most of you want to condemn me to Hell because I think our coaching staff is on many levels (the O staff primarily) mediocre starting at the HC level) so that will never change. I think God is looking down from the Heavens and sometimes thinking....I really messed this thing up. wde Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We gave it a tremendous amount more leeway than we would normally give a thread that became about a non-football subject like this already. It was on that forum for six days and has gone 29 pages.

If you don't think this conversation has helped this website immensely in a slow time of year, then........ Not everyone comes here to see or participate in debates on politics and religion. Even though the political forum is very active (3rd on the list after football and recruiting), many folks never even poke their nose in there for a reason. They get plenty of this kind of stuff every time they flip on the TV. So we try to keep the sports forums and the politics/religion stuff separate as much as possible. I just felt that once it was clear the discussion was no longer really about the church/state stuff but about atheism/theism/Christianity in general, it made sense to move it. No biggie.

Who made the decision to move this conversation to a remote message board that no one reads? wde Well I reconsidered and moved it to the political forum which is more trafficked. I made the call based on the fact that we try to avoid political/religion topics in the sports forums and the subject had long since drifted away from its original AU football connection. Not everyone wants to wade through that. It’s not what they come here for. But second, I don’t really have to justify the decisions that are made here to you.
