It seems a few professors at Patrick Henry College actually believed they should provide their students with a liberal education, and encourage open-ended questioning and dialogue. Er … wrong. Here’s the issue over which the fight ensued:
"There is much wisdom to be gained from Parmenides and Plato, as well Machiavelli and Marx," the professors wrote. "When we examine the writings of any author, professed Christian or otherwise, the proper question is not, ‘Was this man a Christian?’ but ‘Is this true?’"
The authors of those heretical sentences have either been fired or have quit. They seem not to understand that the core feature of Christianism is the submission of reason to ecclesiastical, Biblical or political authority.
