Adam, I don't think you came across as harsh at all.  I liked your comment for its logical style and for this one simple truth: "We believe this way because God said so."  Of course, there will always be different interpretations of what God said, but without the underlying desire to determine truth honestly and regardless of our own personal preferences, all Christian theologizing is meaningless.

Mason, thanks for posting that link; I'm sure it will make an interesting read here in a couple minutes.

Regarding Liberty: every year, the university invites every person (from the two major parties) who files with the FEC as a presidential candidate or formally declares that they are running for president.  This year, Rick Perry and Michelle Bachmann accepted. In 2008, Mike Huckabee and Alan Keyes (who gave an awesome speech) accepted.  It's not an endorsement of any candidate, and actually LU's administration goes through great pains to not endorse or belittle any candidate or even any political party (one of few good things I have to say about the current university administration).  So, while I find this article interesting, its main point is based off of a misconception.
