Actually, that feeling decent people get from hearing your sermons is disgust and revulsion, not guilt.

Best part was watching Todd Starnes, Pope of the Starnes Church of the Perpetual Persecution Complex, in what could only be called a orgasm of hypocrisy, ejaculate all over Faux News’ website over this…
Had this been the President of Harvard publicly and personally lambasting some whiny Christian victimhood addict for protesting the school’s policies regarding whether or not some school function or official event or building or whatever can be used to promote Christianity or bemoaning how offended he is by the school’s health insurance and student clinic policies regarding contraception, etc., we’d have never heard the end of it from the Radicalized Christians who think it makes them closer to Jesus and more Christ-like to find some rationalization for claiming their own martyrdom.

I’ve I’ve said it once, I’ve said it . . .um, more than once. Just the two narratives in conservative world . . .

Yet no one is more easily offended than a conservative pol. They are delicate flowers, all. Ted Cruz couldn’t even handle CNBC’s questions, for pete’s sake. They should have offered a trigger warning, I reckon.

And, yeah, I have no doubt whatsoever that that university doesn’t have a single, solitary place where little kids are truly safe.

Oh, I dunno…I’ve heard that it’s pretty safe under Father Luke’s frock…he even has an emergency lever under there you can tug on if you get nervous and need to sound the alarm…

I’m sure insulting your students will go over very well. Maybe next time, point out that it’s our differences that make us unique and that confronting those differences and finding areas of similarlity is what makes us strong. Or, you could just insult your students, tell them to repent all the while pandering to violence pushing misogynists like Ted Cruz.

“Piper critiqued the student…” Small point, but “to critique” means “to analyze” or “to evaluate.” It doesn’t mean “to criticize,” even though it is all too often used that way.
(Not a fan of right-wing Christian universities, but also not a huge fan of “safe spaces” and “trigger warnings.” So I’ll just direct my ire toward the grammar of the article.)

It’s just like Jesus said in Matthew 12:34 -
“It’s all about ME so get over yourselves you self-absorbed, narcissistic jerks!”

a Christian institution
Our most popular courses are:
Persecution 101, 201, 301, 401 and 666-01 (grads only)
“Medieval Thinking - Too Progressive?”
“Obama - Hitler or Hitler”?
And our famous “Purge Night Gala” - I mean we’re saved right? It doesn’t matter what we do.

I almost spewed coffee all over my keyboard reading your post!!!
“This is not a day care,” Piper continued. “This is a university!”
Piper has hosted Republican presidential candidate Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) on his campus so far this campaign season.
From the sounds of it, I would say it’s closer to an Asylum.

Of course. It’s a Christian institution.

Piper critiqued the student and wrote that “our culture” has made “kids to be this self-absorbed and narcissistic.”
The guy standing next to Ted Cruz in that photo said that?
Um, was the student Ted Cruz? Because that does sound a lot like him.

Nah…there’s a difference:
Asylum = Where people who think crazy thoughts go
Religious Institution = Where people who don’t think go to receive crazy thoughts

Dr. Everett Piper, began his post off by describing a situation in which a student approached him and said he was “victimized” by a sermon.
50:1 odds against the story being true.
