Tarheel Baptist said:Goner: I didn't say that you hadn't grown I was making the point that I could say it based on what I see here on the forum. You really are the one missing the irony. You don't even know that SC rebelled against Hammond. He may have come to the same conclusions without ever being in Hammond. Linda may have wound up with the same beliefs with or without Hammond. Goes back to there are plenty of Liberty students who have gone in similar directions as SC and Linda and how can you or I know if it was their experience at Liberty or where they would gone anyhow?
And you only know me from the Forum, and there have been many times I have stated that I treat the FFF like the mafia bosses treat their activities...."it's not personal, it's just (fff) business". The irony is that you offer a backhanded personal insult to me as you rebuke me for the same offense. Irony or hypocrisy? I only have an opinion....
As to Liberty causing students to become apostates, I'm not aware of any personally. In my personal experience with Liberty (since the 70's) I don't recall anyone being bitter over their Liberty experience. I'm sure there must be some, though. On the other hand, I have no personal experience with Hammond yet I'm know personally many who are resentful of their Hammond experience....most, not all, are on the fff. Smellin is the fff poster boy for that....IN MY OPINION!
Tarheel...you really aren't this thick. I gave you the backhanded insult to show you have "stupid" it is to determine from posts of people you don't know what has driven their conclusions. I don't know you but it is obvious rather than having the ability to discuss SC's conclusions with him you voice your "opinion" that the reason he believes the way he does is that he has rebelled against Hammond. It would be just as ignorant to say that the only reason you believe the way you do is that you went to Liberty.
I know only a handful of people that went to Liberty (granted different experience than HAC) but I think of my wife's trainer who you would consider very apostate and has strong feelings about how a Christian University could be so harsh to gay people. Do you keep a small circle of friends? 8)
