I used to teach community college sociology. My mostly-millennial students were largely evangelicals, and even they knew better than to cite the Bible in a college-level social science class.
So… hearsay that was written down hundreds of years after the fact, then edited and translated repeatedly, is fair game?
Can't have conservative voters without stupid people.
The GOP is well aware of that.
And god said “do not believe in me for I am a fraud” and so they stopped believing and it was good.
Sounds targeted at assignments in biology and in particular Evolution. If they still mention that in the classroom.
How are they not bored. Same fuckin story, same half baked moral lessons for the last 2k years or whatever they claim.
Sometimes the Christian radio station by my house cuts through whatever I was listening to and it's always some bored ass, monotone, what I assume to be white guy droning on about the kingdom that awaits.
- find x in the following equation:
X^2 - 6x + 5 = 0
- God said 3.
Allah said 42.
If I have to choose a hyper-authoritarian and genocidal deity†, I'm gonna go with the one who recognizes Douglas Adams as the prophet he so clearly was.
†which I don't, so I don't.
I think I’m converting to pannumerism.
1 * 0 = 0 = 1 *2
(1*0) / 0 = 0 = (2*0) / 0
1 = 2
(/jk, this is why we don’t divide by zero)
Bonus points! You even showed your work!
If the assignment is asking for facts and evidence to support your position, and you come back with "Well, it's in the Bible, so it must be true"...sorry Sunshine, you fuckin' failed.
And what what’s her name said wasn’t even really in the Bible. (Or at least she provided no actual citation to that effect.)
Worse, y’know what is in the Bible?
“Women, shut up.”. 1Tim2, 1Cor14, etc.
(Paul was a dick. And it’s even worse if you go to the Bronze Age bits…)
If they're a theology major, they should be allowed. 🤷♂️
The smugness of her smile. Fuck this lady. She’ll go on to make life difficult for others for the next sixty years.
If I recall correctly, her mother is also a proud Karen.
Back in my day, we had to be academic and professional. If you didn't respond to the prompt, you would fail.
Kids are so coddled and babied all the way to adulthood. Thank god they have AI to make their lives better. /s
