Religious Indoctrination

Some college students find they are having trouble with handling their shallow beliefs:

"Each summer more than 1,200 of them come from around the country to attend a two-week workshop on how to defend their faith during college. They listen to lectures on creationism versus evolution, abortion, homosexuality, Christianity and the media, euthanasia, and postmodernism, among other topics. While the workshop is sometimes referred to as a camp, that moniker is misleading: On an average day, students sit through six hours of classes. This is not about horseback riding or leather tooling; this is serious business.

Spend a couple of days at the workshop and it becomes clear that, for many of these students, college is fraught with peril. There is the pressure to party, to drink, to have sex. There is also the subtle pressure to conform to a non-Christian worldview. There are biology courses that ask students to accept evolution, which workshop organizers and most of the students reject as untrue and ungodly. There are literature courses that see any text, including the Bible, as open to multiple interpretations. And there are philosophy classes that view absolute truth as nothing more than an illusion."

How is it possible that at the beginning of the nation and even some time before it, man through more perillous situations than what these kids are dealing with, were able to build Christian colleges and schools?

Know the truth: colleges and school both public and private need you more than you need them. Each school gets paid for each kid a certain stipend from the government. The more kids they have the more stipends they get. If more and more people remove thier kids, they'll begin teaching the basics and not their affirmative action science and political courses.

However, if there is such a desire for alternate places to embark into education then we would create them, but the truth is that Christians and others don't consider it that important to pay the price, namely tuition and time.
