If yellowrose10 was here I would be sooo in trouble!!

Has anyone heard from her lately?

no I havent

He said that to engage in dialogue, YOU HAVE TO AT LEAST ACKNOWLEDGE THE POSIBIBLITY THAT GOD DOES NOT EXIST! (emphasis added by Lindyy) Also, students could opt out of the final if they would PUT IN WRITING THAT 'WE HAVE NO FREE WILL')(emphais added by Lindyy)

I thought that was an awesome remark since the possibility of God existing and the possibility of God not existing equally negate themselves. I think the student gave up too soon. I think that she should have stood her ground. Maybe she felt intimidated by Lindy. Philosophy is wonderful. I learned that with every action there is an opposing reaction. Maybe she was a pacifist.

if she had to "entertain the idea that God does not exist, to be fair the professor has to entertain the idea that God does exist"

I'm sure he did. After all, that is what philosophy is all about isn't it?

Ah, Dragon doth thou spew repeated posts of castrating our government, our military and impeaching the president...why do you persacute the OP for the very things you and Madman do????????

I did not say anything about her other than she posted the exact same thing last month. What is your opinion of the OP, after all that is what you are supposed to post on here, right? If you have a personal issue with me please feel free to mail me. Otherwise, stay on topic.

Lindy's version,

Gina had PERFECT grades on her Philosophy class assignments - UNTIL SHE TOOK A STAND FOR HER FAITH, IN OPPOSITION TO HER PROFESSOR (emphasis by Lindyy).
==========================================================
The articles version,

Although Gina maintains a 3.9 overall GPA and did very well on the first few philosophy class assignments,
=============================================================
Again Lindy's version,

The professor has not only docked her grades - he has also repeatedly derided Gina for her faith.
===============================================================
The article (Lindy's link)

her grades in the philosophy course dropped significantly after the question of God’s existence and attributes became the focus of class discussion. Gina read the assigned materials and participated in class discussions, presenting traditional philosophical arguments on whether God exists and whether He possesses certain characteristics such as being all-knowing or all-good.
===========================================================
No where does it say deride, or say why her grades dropped.

The points were for extra credit,

The professor stated that he would increase any student’s grade on a previous assignment to a 100 if he or she made the following statement on the course’s online message board: “I am _____________ (put your name here). I am not free because I am determined.”
==============================================================

I could suggest that the young woman (Gina) was unable to open her mind and cope with an honest and open discussion regarding a subject she herself brought into the classroom.
Of course this would be as wrong as Lindy altering the text of the article. An article of which she makes repeated comparisons to her treatment on here by other posters.
Perhaps the young lady and Lindy do in fact have a lot of the same personality traits.
The inability to separate fact from fiction and the inability to accept any other opinion than their own.

Of course that is just my opinion!

Says:

You're wrong Fanta!

If I might add a suggestion, it would be that unlike this young woman (an assumption for I wasnt there)
Lindy should learn not bring her faith on an open forum to be discussed and debated openly.

There are many religions amongst posters here, and to freely discuss your own, and on top of that, to use them in political debates (constantly), she should expect disagreements. If she is unable to handle that then maybe she should change her tactics, or not wear her feelings on her sleeve.

Here is the craziest real thing I ever saw.......Jesus Camp........ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6PUQATCcQ0A&watch_response

This O.P. is propaganda meant to incite and inflame Christians against this College professor and it is for no other purpose than this.

These tactics are the same tactics used by the elite warmongers who purposely inflame people to war against each other. It is a manipulation propaganda tactic.

I mention this because I travel the Internet all the time and have learned how to recognize this dribble.

Plus I've watch the 700 club. They do the same thing.

JB

Those who know me on here will swear that came out of my mouth...lol I second that Jeannie

why is this even being argued in this forum?
and to be honest anybody can change facts in a news report to fit some agenda?
It works both ways.
In this case worked to serve fundamentalism.
Not good.

Probably because the person posting it wanted to disguise it news.

JB

Fanta,

Again dear, try another approach. YOU know me better. Just trying to get me into an argument.

And it kills you people that you cannot bring me down. Have you not learned by now? I stay the course and do not waiver.

Take care Fanta.

Lindyy

Hang in there Fran, we will be there soon!

Lindyy

Fanta, didn't yellowrose say she was having some medical tests/operation done?

YES - YOU would be in trouble with her!

Lindyy

Rainbow, I think you misunderstood some of my original post. The ACLJ is now defending Gina. They wrote a 14 page legal memorandum to the college regarding this and are awaiting a response from the college. She has NOT given up!! She went to the ACLJ and now they are fighting for her. (American Center for Law and Justice, founded by Jay Sekulow, about the best civil rights and consitutional attorneys in the US.


I had nothing to do with this case. I just started a thread on how Christians are being persecuted in our schools and colleges.
I support the ACLJ and I get updates from them on what is taking place.
