Just caught this little interesting tidbit.
Bob Jones U. Apologizes For Racism
Could guilty consciouses and understanding of ‘S*I*N!’ finally be breaking into the christian? rights understanding of the true meaning of the book and teachings they say they follow?
Could they have finally realized the ‘Liberal’ leanings within?
S.C. School Says Culture Rather Than Biblical Teachings Led To Institutional Racist Policies
This would be a huge step if they really mean, and understand, what they’ve stood for all this time and really embrace their words, now!
Bob Jones University is apologizing for racist policies that included a one-time ban on interracial dating and its unwillingness to admit black students until 1971.
What could be bringing this about, recent history, leaders getting closer to their judgement, finally realizing all human beings are well human beings!
President George W. Bush was criticized in 2000 for a campaign speech at the school while the interracial dating ban was in place.
That is one dude that’s got one hell of alot of penance to pay to even be listened to before his visit to the pearly gates to seek forgiveness!
You can find the Statement about Race at Bob Jones University with that link.

reality has a liberal bias, doesn’t it?
seems to be changing for the better.
From what I’ve read the new generation is less concerned about things like gay marriage and more concerned about the environment and the poor.
Who knows? Maybe twenty years from now the left will have stopped hatin’ on the fundies and they will have stopped hatin’ on us.
Now, wouldn’t that be a nice one for the books?
totally discredited, the wacks will still be out there.
I love books and libraries, and have ever since I was a little boy, but when I am walking through the stacks at my local library and come across any “Left Behind” series books, I wish that I had brought a sharpie to disfigure the pages.
Talk about spreading hate-those books do it.
And as long as preachers feed on the fears of their “flocks” in order to fill their collection baskets this will go on.
My great hope post-Obama is that any church that preaches politics from the pulpit gets the shit taxed out of it, never to get their tax exemptions back.
