For the past 6 months, I used to post here:www.wthrockmorton.com .
For those of you who don't know, Throckmorton is a professor of psychology at Grove City College, www.gcc.edu an officially Christian school (I'm not so sure what church they are affiliated with) who happens to operate a blog mentioned above. He writes about different kinds of things, greatly concentrate on faith, politics, and sexuality. Btw, many years ago he made a documentary called "I Do Exist" on people who claimed to have changed from homosexuals to heterosexuals. However, when most of those that he interviewed has admitted that they were still gay, he became critical of all reparative therapies, and started his own called Sexual Identity Framework.
The evangelical professor who turned against 'reparative therapy' for gays
The point is that recently, he started promoting extreme biases against evangelical Christians by allowing numerous inflammatory comments coming from posters who hated Christianity and advocated that Bible-based Christians to be shunned and discriminated. I used to post there and was trying to understand why. At first I thought that it was because evangelical Christians tend to vote Republican more than Democrat, but eventually I realized that the whole purpose of Warren's blog is to please the feelings of Bible-hating radical leftists instead of focusing on the Biblical Truth, which goes contrary to the general definition of a conservative.
I would like to ask an ethical question, whether GCC, who is aware of Throckmorton's blog and what he does there, should retain his employment? If GCC's administration thinks they should, what does it tell about their Christian character? For those of you, who have been associated with GCC, I would appreciate if you tell me about your experience with them. I am also curious because by looking at their site, I could not find any stated code of conduct that they have for their students and faculties. Could it be possible that Grove City College is Christian in the name only? As you can see, this school has a reputation of being conservative, but does it necessarily mean they are biblically oriented?
I'd really like to hear your input,
Kind regards,
Sam.
