Guarantee that many Freepers would have problems with this pledge.

1. I will be loyal to the mission of Shorter University as a Christ-centered institution affiliated with the Georgia Baptist Convention. - I have no idea what that means. However, it could include not dancing on Sunday, among other things.

2. I will not engage in the use, sale, possession, or production of illegal drugs. - I would have no problems with that, but I would expect that some Freepers might.

3. I reject as acceptable all sexual activity not in agreement with the Bible, including, but not limited to, premarital sex, adultery, and homosexuality - Again I would have no problems. However what it means is that the only sexual activity is sex with your wife in the missionary position without protection. (or any other birth control)

4. I will not use alcoholic beverages in the presence of students, and I will abstain from serving, from using, and from advocating the use of alcoholic beverages in public (e.g. in locations that are open to use by the general public, including as some examples restaurants, concert venues, stadiums, and sports facilities) and in settings in which students are present or are likely to be present. I will not attend any University sponsored event in which I have consumed alcohol within the last six hours. Neither will I promote or encourage the use of alcohol. - I don’t drink so it would be no problem, but a lot of Freepers are hard drinking types.

It's a private college, so where's the problem? What you're saying is that you think many FReepers would sign it and lie. But refusing to work there and rejecting the pledge is neither a problem, nor a moral failing. It's a number of personal choices that many people - including FReepers - believe are completely private, AND which they have NO problem as dismissing as inapplicable or inappropriate for them or others.

Now, what part of the Bible says you should implicate others through innuendo? Or only live in a country that limits people to those pledge statements?

Jesus turned water into wine. You think he then threw it out?

Believe it or not, there are extremely moral Christians who actually, incredibly, impossibly... disagree with you.
