Okeydoke. Tip of the iceburg. Starting from the top. "Christianity is hostile to the spread of knowledge." That's why we build schools overseas. That's why there's so much great Christian academia out there. That's why we focus on The Truth (because it's not knowledge?). Okay. Gotcha.
"Hagar was black." Nope. Hagar was Egyptian. "That's why Christians and Jews are so racist!" Jews racist? I'm sorry? There are, I am certain, racist people out there who call themselves Christians. And Jews. And Muslims. And people out there who fight for racial equality, abolition, etc. because they are Christian. And Jewish. And Muslim. That statement was so stupid it's almost unbelievable.
"Christians love to hate." If they love to hate they aren't Christian.
"You can't trust the book of Genesis...it's like legends, mythology." Fine. You believe that. But teaching it in a college class...really?
I have a genuine desire to just skive off the rest of the semester, have a "truant disposition" and not go. One more paper, one more test pertaining to information that she posted for us on the internet. There's nothing I'm going to learn for the rest of the semester about Christianity or Islam that I will not know, or that I can trust to be true.
