Religious Colleges

[LevelUP]

From a strictly academic perspective, learrning secular subjects through a Christian worldview, if you are not already a person of faith, could be quite rewarding. You're still going to learn the meat and potatos of the given subject. The faith-based perspective could be a nice academic extra if you allow it to be because you'll receiving some insight into the worldview of about 2.6 billion people.

While you may find it rewarding, I did not. I did not enjoy being forced to read bible scriptures and a book on Proverbs which completing courses in project management. The lessons had NOTHING to do with project management. We didn't even discuss project management the weeks we completed the religion coursework. I have ZERO regrets about leaving the school. I know all I need to know about Christianity. This thread is 2 years old. This is your first time posting on the forum and you go digging for a 2 year old thread? Screams spammer to me.

Pug has been posting on the other forum for a while, but I agree with you. I took a class at a Christian school, and they assigned us a free textbook written by a guy with humanities degrees. He tried to use biology and psychology to prove that homosexuality was either a choice or a result of trauma. Unlike him, I actually have a background in biology and psychology and could recognize when he was misinterpreting research and cherry-picking, so I didn't get any value out of that course.

I did not mean to offend. I was only attempting to point out the potential value of learning a given subject in a context other than what one is used to. It's one way to promote growth and depth. It was certainly not my intention to revive a 2 year old thread to cause trouble. I just joined the forum and was combing through much of the older stuff. I've been a member of the other forum for a very long time, first as Pugbelly, then later as Pugbelly2 after something happened to my account that couldn't be fixed. I'm not a spammer and I don't seek confrontation. I will (at times) take alternative views on various subjects to promote good-natured debate and conversation.

Pugbelly2 isn't a spammer.

People of all faiths are welcome to the forum, so don't be afraid to post.

This sounds like a false dilemma.
