Or a Microcosm of how people like to take items of personal belief and make them a litmus test.
I can sit at a Liberty vs App ST game and enjoy it with anyone there regardless of belief. As a matter of fact, as a Christian I believe that I am to show the love of Christ to everyone. So, you and your school can be and believe whatever you want and the vast majority of Liberty folks will stand beside you and talk and cheer and all will be good. It all falls apart when a few select folks don't care to return the favor. They see people "like us" as stupid, or ignorant, or whatever and chose to taunt or marginalize base on who they think we are or what they think we believe.
It's sad to me that an athletics discussion has to turn in to this I'm right, no I'm right mess. I can accept that you are allowed to believe what you want, but it doesn't go the other way. Call it what you want, but this is why CUSA and SBC Presidents have excluded LU.
I get that we are talking about class content, but please remember that Liberty teaches both and let's the kids decide. Creation Studies is a religion class.
Anyway, I believe LU will be an FBS independant for years and years to come. Not only because of what I said above, but because I think it's to LUs best interest at this point.
