Toleration of YECs

[Art (Arthur Hunt)]

@Eddie

Are you denying or accepting my claim that a preponderance of philosophy professors do not accept traditional religious beliefs?

Denying. My own experience with schools large and small throughout the country (blue and red) tells me something else.

@Eddie

Are you denying my claim that faculty are sometimes hostile to students who do have such traditional beliefs?

No. But I do deny that this is widespread and a problem.

@Eddie

Are you denying my claim that the religious ideas of most faculty in arts departments are liberal, agnostic, atheist, and maybe in a few cases “New Age”, but very rarely traditional and conservative?

Yes.

@Eddie

Are you denying my claim that this affects what they teach, how they teach it, how they respond to students with traditional beliefs, who they vote for when they hire new faculty, etc.?

Most definitely yes.

@Eddie

Are you denying that many students with traditional beliefs have experienced hostility, mockery, condescension, etc. from profs who don’t share those beliefs?

Many? A useless descriptor. Most? I deny such an assertion.

@Eddie, show us the numbers. The facts. The data. Most of what you are claiming goes against my own experiences with schools small and large, north and south, coast to coast. This includes my experiences with colleagues in the liberal arts. I don’t buy any of what you are claiming here. None of it.
