Related: About this forumMost evangelical college students appreciate LGBT people even if trustees don't
From the article:
IDEALS data reveals that a whopping 85 percent of incoming students to evangelical colleges and universities find it at least moderately important that their campuses are welcoming toward LGBT people, with 44 percent finding it very important. That only 67 percent of these students actually perceive their campuses to be welcoming toward LGB people and 62 percent toward trans people, however, suggests that students expectations of an inclusive campus are not being met.

People are able to recognize more horrible things in their holy books, and rejecting them. Too bad they're still there for others to embrace.

Just like they demand credit for the civil rights movement. Just like they demand credit for abolition. So on. So on.

And the abolition movement was predominantly church based.

(9,116 posts)6. Most civil rights opponents were theists, too.
You see where claiming these as victories for the faith is slightly... problemmatic?

(42,649 posts)8. I am not claiming s victory for theism.
I am stating a fact.

(9,116 posts)9. Of course you are.
You waltz around web forums replying to random selections of posts, objectively stating facts with no contextual relation to the preceeding conversation. Seems legit.

(49,533 posts)7. As were most people who were the reason civil rights had to be fought for.
You keep forgetting how easy it is to beat you at your own game, gil.
