Blogs bring out the base in us. The medium is primarily anonymous and the people who post or comment feel freer to tell others what they think. For a good example of what academics think about Christians, the Volokh Conspiracy has demonstrated that much of the academic world is inhabited by people who are the mirror image of Fred Phelps, right down to bigoted rants. It’s very revealing, yet the participants on that website keep on exposing the rotten underbelly of academia without any apparent self-consciousness.

Bill Stuntz on "Secular Universities and Evangelical Christians"

It’s almost like being invited to sneak a peek at a Nazi re-union where the old party members tell each other why Jews should be exterminated because science has proved they are sub-human.

Even the comments defending the right of Christians to exist do so from the perspective that they are of course wrong, but like any strange psychological or emotional quirk, they should be tolerated as long as they don’t try to do anything about their fundamental beliefs.

"As an evangelical Christian who got his Ph.D. in English at a prominent Division I research university, I can vouch firsthand for the undisguised distaste expressed toward me. One of the faculty members on my committee told me he "hated fuckin' Christianity" knowing I had taught at a Baptist university before coming there to get my doctorate."

(Indoctrinate U).....it isn't just religious bigotry in academia it is all things conservative. Watch the video or order the CD – the ACLU and the left do not want you to see this.

Great post. Want to really anger an atheist? Point out that his unbelief is in itself an orthodoxy that must not be questioned. I had an encounter with an atheist web site awhile back, and it wasn't pretty. You can read about it here .

Academia needs people like you. The phrase is overused, but you really are doing The Lord's work!

Rock on!
