Doesn't surprise me one bit.University of Wisconsin Madison campus building probably (not necessarily sanctioned, but permitted, by the UW), one of the most liberal cities and universities in the country.
A year ago I promised Herman Hednig I would never use my pet term for "higher academia" again, if he would just read Galatians 3:26.
Wrong, there was no strawman since there is no reason to believe in a "true spiritual morality". To make that particular claim of strawman you need to proved evidence for your claim of a higher Christian morality. And I am very sure that you can't do so.General morality is indeed secular as most of the world is secular. When I refer to religious morality I mean true spiritual morality. Most Christians don't yet possess true spiritual morality (it's a work in progress), thus the two are quite similar. He has branded Christian morality according to the moral level of most Christians. This is a strawman as the discussion is about morality, not people. People screw everything up, including morality.
What he is doing is like condemning fishing because no one is catching anything.
Matt Dillahunty is not "higher academia". But he is a very well known atheist. He has been the main host of the Atheist Experience for the last ten years or so. When he was young and growing up in his Southern Baptist Church the members there expected him to become a major preacher some day.A year ago I promised Herman Hednig I would never use my pet term for "higher academia" again, if he would just read Galatians 3:26.
He said he read it, and I plan to stick to my promise.
Even though the author said this:Too bad that you could not find an unbiased source.
Again, I state that I have no religious position and went to the meeting
to hear Bob Larsen speak and to hear him, as usual answer question from
any and all takers.

But the arena was.Matt Dillahunty is not "higher academia".
I don't know the guy, but this says it all.Subduction Zone said:But he is a very well known atheist. He has been the main host of the Atheist Experience for the last ten years or so.

Typical of higher academia to filter in Matts and filter out Bobs, isn't it?
I don't know the guy, but this says it all.
The Southern Baptist Church should know better than that.
They should know that you don't put a man in the pulpit, unless he is called of God.
Would you want a heart operation on you, done by a doctor who'd rather be playing in a chess tournament?
But the Southern Baptists accepted that turncoat Jerry Falwell, when he jumped ship and went from Independent Fundamental Baptist to Southern Baptist, and that says a lot about them; and I lost a lot of respect for that man when he did that.
A lot of respect.
And I'd say the same for the Southern Baptists, but I never really had any respect for them in the first place.
And enough on that.
Nope, if anything you appear to be creating your own strawman. You have yet to identify anything wrong with his portrayal of "Christian morality". Plus he is probably being more honest in his assessment of that trait then you are.A straw man is a fallacious, easily defeated argument, constructed by one's opponent. His portrayal of Christian morality fits that description like a pair of sweaty leotards.
I am sure you will reject any argument I put forth.
They've apparently taken a lesson from the black community, where a small minority of idiots can place a black mark on the whole community.
I agree, Bob is the sort of Christian that makes all Christians look bad.
There's some non-toxic(supposedly) stuffHe said he read it, and I plan to stick to my promise.
JESUS came as the LIGHT of the world,I agree, Bob is the sort of Christian that makes all Christians look bad.
I also promised CabVet in 2013 that I would never mention a certain NASA disaster again if he would read Galatians 3:26, and he did.There's some non-toxic(supposedly) stuff
called goo-gone that might help clean that stickiness up .....
