Bob Jones University is in the news concerning its poor handling of sexual assault as well as its week-long chapel sermons on homosexuality.
Bob Jones University is the fortress of fundamentalism and the Independent Fundamentalist Baptist churches, a church organization 8 million members strong.
Here’s some of what they believe:
- Men are the head of the home and church.
- Women are to submit to their husbands and have children.
- All abortions without exception are murder.
- Homosexuals are perverts who disobey God.
There’s more. I hope these ideas will become extinct. I would love to see them disappear from the face of the earth in my lifetime.
Like dinosaurs.
(Update: I made a correction. BJU used to have racist policies but in 2008 changed them. However, racism is still prevalent in the IFB.)
