I\u2019m not sure what\u2019s more ridiculous.<\/p>\n

Everything Donald Trump says.<\/p>\n

Or\u2026<\/p>\n

The fact that a Christian school like Liberty University, which is profoundly<\/em> concerned about what their students are taught (that\u2019s why they exist after all), would invite Trump to \u201cpreach\u2019 what is quite literally the complete opposite message of the gospel.<\/p>\n

Obviously schools are free to invite whomever they wish to come speak and they should. If I believed for one second that a school like Liberty was moving towards having a plurality of voices speak to their students, that would be something to commend them for.<\/p>\n

But it seems to me that this is just one more case where political ideology trumps theology.<\/p>\n
